Seasonal Glassware for Sale!

Looking for some lovely glassware for your Thanksgiving table?

Or just to celebrate what I think is the most lovely time of the year?

Look no further!

These lovely glasses are nice, strong, thick glass, sturdy enough to withstand daily use at the dinner table, yet elegant enough for special occasions.

One set is adorned with falling leaves in a variety of colors of permanent grade vinyl (brown, green, orange, maroon, red, or black). These are more colorful but are not dishwasher safe.

The other set are gorgeously etched with the same leaves pattern, and these are dishwasher safe!

I'm having an introductory sale, for every order of 2 glasses, I will refund part of your purchase price!

Not sure how long I will keep the special going though, so if you want to take advantage of it, sooner is better than later!

Always Kiss Me Goodnight Wall Decals

Here they are! 

Always Kiss Me Goodnight font #1

Always Kiss Me Goodnight font #2

Always Kiss Me Goodnight font #3

I think these look great over the headboard in a master bedroom, 

but it would also be so sweet over a child's bed or crib.

The standard size is approximately 4 feet by 1 1/2 feet (depending on font), 

but you can specify a different size if you wish.

Comes in black or white, or you can request a color for $3 extra.

This vinyl is safe to apply to most painted surfaces, stays on well, and is easy to remove without damaging your wall or paint! 

The decal comes ready-to-apply on transfer paper. Just peel off the protective paper backing, press firmly on a freshly-cleaned wall, and remove the transfer paper! 

Ships with specific, step-by-step detailed instructions.

She Liked It!

One of the fun projects I've been working on was putting together flowers for my little sister's upcoming wedding.

There was her bouquet, the groom's boutonniere, the maid of honor's bouquet (who is my daughte- and she made her own! Beautiful, I must say), the "other guys'" boutonnieres, the women's (mothers etc) wrist corsages, and the table arrangements. 

It's been a big project, but very fun.

She came to look them over today, and pick them up if they were satisfactory.

She said she liked them!

Of course, I keep hoping she's not just being polite! :0)

Barrel Lights!

Ah, the benefits of children who go valiantly traipsing through the woods, searching for (& finding?) their Narnia.

Our children braved thorns and vines, stumps and fallen logs, and the ever-present possibility of meeting up with a snake or poison ivy and discovered a ramshackle old barn just across our property line. They could see inside that it was filled with old wood (pulled up hardwood flooring and ripped down old wood siding and other similar stuff), and knowing that I like to try making things out of stuff like old pallets, they came tearing home to tell me about it. 

After I walked with them and took a peek, it did look like a treasure pile to me! After some hunting and calling, I got ahold of the rental property management company that takes care of the property, explained the nature of the crafts I like to do, and set up an agreement to use the contents of the barn.

These beauties are one of the first finished products out of our explorations!

(forgive me- I'm a mama and maker, not a photographer!)

These are pendant lights, ready to be installed. 

Made from reclaimed vintage wooden barrels and fitted with two "Edison" style bulbs.  

The canopy is a beautiful, oil-rubbed bronze finish, and the aged patina of the barrels was carefuly maintained as the lights were crafted and the strength of the barrel reinforced.

They are designed so that the distance they hang from the ceiling can be adjusted at installation.

You can order these now at my store, for $225 plus shipping (unless you're local).

New Things Happening!

I've been SO over-committed lately...
I know better than to get in that predicament- usually.
But sometimes, things just coincide, and you have to grit your teeth and hang on tight and get through it.
The things that have had me stretched so thin are all good things, things I didn't want so say "no" to, things I still don't regret saying "yes" to, even though it did make things chaotic for a while.
But I'm glad (it looks like) things are slowing down!
Because now I can start something new that has been staring me down from it's place on the back burner!
I've been tinkering around with ideas for products for my store, and itching to dig in and make it the bustling place I know it can be, but just couldn't work on it!
A few of the things I'll be adding in the coming weeks are:

Etched Glassware

like these, also available with custom personalizations 

Reclaimed Wood Wall Art 

inspired by these

                               

and Vinyl Wall Decals 

like these!

So keep an eye out here, and at my store, and don't miss these great things! 

Also- be ready for an exciting new product to be introduced tomorrow! One that comes with the added bonus of my being married to a Master Electrician with an eye for creative art!
