This past summer I purchased a few containers of Miss Mustard Seed's German glass glitter from Decor Steals,and I decided to use German glass to make my star ornaments for my tree. Last year my tree had lots of red and berries,but I wanted to try something different. I am not finished with my tree just yet but here is a sneak peek. These star ornaments add lots of sparkle to my tree. I was very ambitious this year,because I made about 80 of these ornaments...yes I did. I envisioned a tree full of stars :-) If you would like to make these, just make a few and add other ornaments. Unless you feel like being as ambitious as I am. As I said I am not done with this tree yet,I will be adding other ornaments that I am not making too. So let me share how I made these. First I went ... View Post
What’s New In The Shop
Sharing what's new in the shop this week. I am adding more Christmas treasures to the shop..yes more vintage ornaments. Last time they sold out pretty fast! And since not everyone decorates with pink....but still loves vintage ornaments....this is for you! Aren't these lovely! I especially love the Merry Christmas,and that cool mint green ornament. This Santa Harold Gale that I am listing I have had for many years....but I am on the hunt for a pink one. It's in wonderful condition although Santa can no longer stand on his own,he needs to lean up against something. He is quite old,I am thinking 1960's. Next up is a set of wooden trees that are adorned with German Glass glitter. These really sparkle under the lights,these will be sold as a set. I am also adding more dishes ... View Post
One Love Candle And Bath Giveaway
Recently I shared my newest sponsor One Love Candle And Bath. Stephanie is the owner of this lovely shop. I had the pleasure of meeting Stephanie at my friends studio tour. ***This Giveaway has ended...winners announced*** My friend Jeannie from the Crown Jewels of Art hosted a tour of her studio,and she had one of Stephanie's candles burning. Well,if you know me you know that I love scented candles. I mean real scented candles,you know the ones that when someone walks into your home and says...hmmmm something smells amazing what is that? And you say....it's my wonderful scented candle....yeah that! As soon as I got home I looked up Stephanie's site and ordered a candle. It was hard to choose because there are so many wonderful scents. I also noticed that she sold lotions ... View Post
A Vintage Pink Tree
I have been searching and searching for a vintage pink tree for a year. You know what I am talking about,the vintage ceramic tree's that light up. Last year I looked and looked and could never find one in my price range. And I was never lucky enough to come across one while treasure hunting. This year I started early looking for a tree,and I came across this one. Okay I know it's not a pink tree. That's exactly what I thought when I saw this too. This was also covered with multicolored light inserts but I took them off. After spotting this the first time I walked away,because it was blue. What was I thinking?! So I went back to where I found it and looked to see if this was still there,and yes it was. Why...because a little paint would do the trick! Never underestimate the ... View Post
A Winner And Star Ornaments
First I wanted to announce the winner of the Jennifer Rizzo Creatively Christmas book. Drum roll please......... Theresa from The playing house! Congratulations Theresa you are going to LOVE Jennifer's new book. I sent an email to you so please check your email. Last week the day before Halloween I started pulling out my Christmas decor. I normally don't decorate this early,but since blogging I found that if I don't get a head start on things they just don't get done. Or I rush to get things done. This year I wanted to be ahead of the game. I already have one tree up and decorated! The other tree....I just started. It's up with lights and now I am making ornaments for it. This tree is going to be my star tree. I am not going to share the tutorial today on how I made ... View Post
How To Arrange Furniture
Trying to figure out how to arrange furniture in a room can be quite a challenge. I found that out 8 years ago when we moved into our home. Here are some simple tips. 1). Make sure you have a good flow and nothing is obstructing that flow. Yes I know,sorry you are seeing our entertainment center in another blog post. But I am showing you this because you really need to see this whole room and why I arranged the furniture the way that I did. As you can see my two biggest obstacles are my huge entertainment center and our fireplace. We also have four windows and we also have two entrances. One from our kitchen and the other off to the side of our entertainment center. Because I have this entry here. And the other here. Adding furniture here is not an option. This is a ... View Post
