Spring time In My Shops

-
I'm a member of the Etsy Bloggers Street Team and each month we are to blog on a theme for a blog carnival.  This month, the question was,  Do you have any special items in your shop to celebrate the season?

I have!  I just finished uploading a whole bunch of new products in Indulge Your Shelf, and I'll show you some of them that I think are particularly Spring-like; click on the description to see the listing:













Here's a touch of Spring in Twice Shy Restored:
 
 






 






So, that's what's Springtime fresh in my shops!

Hi Laurie, love your little treasures. You are so industrious. I wish I could be as organised as you are. My little Etsy shop is sorely neglected.
Sorry to hear about your business card woes. I agree with you on the shortsightedness of businesses who should know better. My SO and I were just discussing the case of Blockbuster the other day. (i think they will be out of business too due to their shortsightedness). Here is the link to French Charming: http://frenchcharming.blogspot.com/. Thanks for the heads up on the erroneous link.

Just give me a call when you are ready to decorate. I'm thinking road trip to find goodies. Actually, I really don't need an excuse for a road trip. Thanks for stopping by, always nice to see a friend. I just wanted to say that I like all the goodies you are showing especially the embroidery hoop rescued linens. I have done the same thing, but I actually painted the wooden hoops. Yup, think bright red. I play too much with spray paint. What can I say.

Here's a tutorial to make sweet baby Jesus ornaments: Materials: 3/4" round wooden balls blue felt like-sized small wooden stars flesh-colored acrylic paint yellow acrylic paint black permanent marker small button as star decor raffia natural excelsior "moss" silver thread or coordinating yarn candy cane You'll also need glue or a hot glue gun, paint brush and scissors Begin by painting the wooden balls with flesh-colored paint and the stars with yellow paint. When dry, draw two sleeping eyes on the ball. Meanwhile, cut small pieces of felt and make little rolls to represent the baby's body; tie with a tiny piece of raffia. Next, glue the wooden ball onto the top of the body roll of felt; if you wish, you can also cut a small wedge of felt to glue over like a little swaddled hood on the baby's head, but I think it looks cute without it as well. Glue the l

Flagler College in St. Augustine: the Tiffany connection

-

We visited this wonderful building that began its life in 1888 as a lavish hotel built by Henry Flagler, one of the founders of Standard Oil, and now houses Flagler College . It is such a beautiful old building and in it we saw: these fabulous Tiffany chandeliers... on a spectacular painted and embossed ceiling in one of the hotel's drawing rooms.   I apologize for the quality of the indoor photos -- it was quite dark in the building. I had to laugh at these painted cherubs on the ceiling... and the way their ribbony robes encircle the chandelier mount! This large clock over the mantle is special because it's a Thomas Edison clock and because it is made from one piece of rare onyx.  We were told that Edison's "signature" on his clocks is the use of the incorrect Roman numeral "4". But the most spectacular feature of the building is that Louis Comfort Tiffany himself made the stained glass windows. Most of Tiffany's windows a

O Christmas tree, jeweled Christmas tree...

Earlier in the season Rebecca and I went to a craft fair at a local high school, and there was one booth with the CUTEST little jeweled, framed Christmas trees! The gal was nice enough to let me photograph them.  Sorry it's kind of blurry, but it was dark in that high school gym! I know it's an older kind of craft (from the '60s and '70s) but she made them sweet -- not gaudy at all.  We were both SO inspired. So, last week we made it happen.  I brought a bunch of my old, broken vintage jewelry, some velvet, glue,  old frames, and we sat in her dining room and made a forest of little trees! It was so simple: first, we took a vintage frame and covered the backing with velvet.  We just glued it on. Then, we took our time arranging bits and pieces of jewels into a Christmas tree shape. When we were happy with the arrangement, we committed and glued the jewels down!  I love this avocado green velvet! And then we did it again.  We had so much fun playing
