Iron for you

I have some wonderful cast iron pieces that will be going in the Shoppe after the blog coupon sale is over... I have a set of 4 iron 'shabby' white drawer pulls. I love the rusty'ess' of them!

Can you see the lovely scroll work on them? Wouldn't these look neat in a bathroom?

Here is a wonderful 'spade' shaped finial.. put it in the garden this Summer..and it will be lovely and weathered to add a vintage touch for your indoors this fall.

Fleur-de-lis anyone? Can't you just see this adorning a lovely Victorian fence? Neat new items coming your way.. New..but you and I both know that these can be weathered and rusty in no time and inject that 'little' something your space needs....
Happy Monday everyone!

Here is a new lovely! Aren't these two girls precious! I hand cut the glass to 1" square... add alittle glittery mica for the faintest sparkle.

Perfect for Mother's day coming up..

This is the reverse of the charm.. We all need to dream more don't we? Sometimes the here and now can be a bit dull.. BORING!! I want to dream more..and try and follow through with more!!


What are some of your dreams? I was noticing today while running errands.. #3 was skipping every where he went..Ahh..to be free at heart to skip.. Never mind my bad knees... To be light hearted to 'skip' in my heart places...Children..and my DH who is a child at heart really remind me to not take things so seriously...
Happy Wed!

New Larger collage

Here is a new larger collage I completed today!! I loove it! It's 6"inchesX7"inches.. The caption says "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of God"

I love the little boy... typical 'all boy' grin... reminds me of 'Dennis the Menace' or..mine!
This is something we really try and instill in the boys... Be peacemakers not trouble makers! Makes the world a better place that way.
Here it is matted.. I think I need to get a bigger mat for it, the opening is a little too small.. Eventually this will make it's way into the Shoppe and maybe even some charms!
Speaking of 'boys' my #2 started with baseball this evening...ahh..Spring is here..
Don't forget to visit the Shoppe and use your blog friend coupon!
Happy Monday everyone!

Something new

Something new today...it's all rainy and yucky outside...but that's okay..I was able to solder this lovely! She is 1"inch square beveled glass for that extra sparkle.

These pictures don't do it justice. You actually can see the cowgirl quite clearly in person. This is a copy of an original collage I've done. I had a 'Duh' moment yesterday and tried shrinking my work on Photoshop! They all came out clear and just the right size.
You know...it was hard to solder this morning..I'm out of my rhythm! It is so true, solder a little each day and you will stay in practise.


Here is the reverse side..wonderful vintage fabric from an old feed sack quilt.

I have some more charms in the works that would be just right for Mother's day! What to see more lovely charms? Please visit the Shoppe!
Happy Thursday everyone! Stay dry!
