Blogaversary Giveaway results are in!

Two years old today!

Good morning friends, "old" and new!  I'm so happy to check in with you on my Blogaversary and say that we are a bigger group of 202 now, and I appreciate each and every one of you.  It touches my heart to know you visit and join in on the conversation when you can, and I take every chance I get, as well, to pop in on you as well -- because that's all part of the fun!

Since we reached 200 followers, I'm adding a second gift for a second name drawn:

This is a small accent pillow that I made just for this giveaway; it has Waverly blue and white floral toile on one side, and the other side is vintage fabrics.  The white linen background is covered by a corner from a vintage runner, and then accented by three fun buttons -- the pink chubby one is one of my favorites!  Don't be surprised if I throw in a few other little goodies when I pack this up to send, too!

I've already chosen two numbers via Random Number Generator, and using Blogger's handy Comments tab to determine the winners. AND SO, the name chosen to receive this little pillow is:


The original giveaway prize, you may remember, is this:

A journal I made from vintage book covers and ephemera -- plus, a gift card.  THE NAME CHOSEN for this giveaway is:

Both of you please use the email button you'll find in the right sidebar to send me your mailing address!  Tabitha, you'll also need to tell me where you'd like me to purchase your $25 gift card!

Whee!  I love to give things away!

Thank you to everyone who played along!  You are the reason I'm here!

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.

Flagler College in St. Augustine: the Tiffany connection

-
Image
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
