A little eye candy..

Howdy everyone! I'm busy busy.. I had a school function tonight and some orders to work on! (Yippee!!) But I wanted to share a really neat store/blog...I think it's like Anthropologie with an edge!! love,love...love it! The site is amazing..http://www.freepeople.com/

AAANNDD...They have a blog..both sites have incredible graphics! Eye candy I'm sure!!
http://blog.freepeople.com/ I have found my self just sittin' staring at the graphics...LOL....

I copied these photos from their catalog I just received! Probably wont be able to afford anything in there...but a girl can dream....

hope your week has started out grand!! XO

A good day

Hope everyone is having a good day! I did... I was able to work a bit in my studio and actually had some fun..lol... I have quite a bit of glass shards that are pilling up and I've been trying to figure out what to do with them..I also had this little vile...I filled it with glitter and a few words.. it turned out really cute.

I pulled out my glass grinder and started shaping some of those shards into some usable shapes! Here is a heart..

And a tiny pear.. I have some more hearts and a larger pear and some rectangles.

I found this lovely picture of this 1940's beauty..she is in a 1" glass button...

This little guy with a paper hat..I added 'smile'

A good and productive day! If anyone one sees something they would like to purchase, don't hesitate to leave a comment or email me..or visit the store! I actually woke up this morning to my first sale since I switched the store to papashops! I'm in such a good mood..I think I will tie that little pear onto one of the goodies in the order!!

Ciao! For now....

Velvety comfort

Well..I'm a bit disappointed with some things... the school superintendents for this county we live in for one thing... Our weather has been uncomfortable to say the least and other counties were allowed to have two hour delays to school starting.. Nope not our county!

The school district that we live in sooo rural! I would say over half the children live in the out lying areas where they plow...but don't salt..and it's very rough getting out in the morning.. okay..okay..enough belly aching! #3 started to cry this past morning when they had to go to school and others had a delay..It broke my heart! So...I dug out my can of red velvety goodness and made these cupcakes for the boys! Mom can't get Spring here any faster but, by George... I can add a little sweetness!

You guys near "Sprinkles" are sooo lucky! This fab place is 'to die for' I hear...so..This is the best we can do up here in the Artic tundra.http://www.sprinklescupcakes.com/

I found that Williams-Sonoma carries these mixes..sorry you guys didn't find my last post interesting... I'm tellin' ya...it's a awesome store. If I can get DH home long enough (he travels alot with our 'other' business ), he promised to go to one of their cooking classes with me.

Yup...#3 gave them his seal of approval.. there were red grins all around.

Hmmmm...

Have a fab Wed. evening...

***Okay.update... I want to ask for folks forgiveness who have visited my store and thought "oh my gosh, she's crazy! I'm not paying that for shipping..." I had relied on another web designers input and didn't realize the shipping costs were so out of wack!! Nobody will pay attention to your business like you... So again.. I hope you fabulous ones will go back and visit my store again.. again, my apologies!!! Shipping has been adjusted for now and I will go back in the A.M and work on it some more. gosh, I feel like such a fool! ****

They're at it again!

Well guys..They are at it again!! Who? You may be asking? Why Williams-Sonoma! I just love their season clearance sales!! You can find incredible deals in the stores and on line.

Yeah..I need to learn how to do the cool link thing...with just the name of the place...

Anyway.. These plates come in a set of 4, lovely blue or mustard yellowish trim and they have these vintage labels stamped on them.

These sets were originally 42.00 for 4..I scooped two sets up for 9.99 for 4! Wahoo!! Aaannnd I got a stainless pasta roller for 5.00!

Like I said, amazing clearance items and special online sales as well! Enjoy!

A Valentine

Howdy! I was actually able to make some things today..Hey..when it's -20 wind chill outside..what else is a gal to do?LOL
I haven't been able to solder in awhile..but this wee 1/2 inch beveled charm didn't turn out half bad.

I have quite a bit of beveled pieces so there will be lots of lovelies on their way! I was just thinking, any one have a wedding coming up? What a sweet gift for the bride or bridesmaids?! I could make a custom design just for you with your special date in it.

Hope everyone is staying warm! Cuddle with your loved ones... eat some chocolate..oh yeah..and root for the Packers tomorrow! lol...(there Debbie, I plugged The Pack for ya)

Thanks so much for stopping in..
