Love, and Hope's new shop!

I'm really not ready for all the Valentine fun to end!
It's all so colorful and fun!
I bought this corn drying rack (below) at an antique store the other day; it was just $4...
 
You are supposed to push corn cobs onto the pegs and let them hang to dry.  I thought it would make a cute holder for tags and such; what do you think?
It's hanging in my kitchen right now.
I received this gorgeous tag in the mail from Terri; gosh, she is so talented!  She does amazing things with texture, especially, and she loves all the same stuff I do!
She sent along these sweet vintage valentines, too!  And, because she knows the way to my heart...
she tucked in this package of trims she brought back from French General!  I so envy that she got to go and play there...
and how completely sweet of her to send me some of the coveted beautiful stuff from there!

I went to the most fun estate sale I've ever been to yesterday; I can hardly wait until I have time to photograph and share my finds with you all!  Until then, I have to show you my friend Hope's new Etsy shop: Hope Ellington Designs

Hope makes beautiful jewelry -- the first time I met her was at Silver Bella and she created a gorgeous crown necklace for each attendee as a gift!  That gives you an idea of her generous heart, too!

Isn't this bird to die for?  Her shop description says, "handcrafted soldered jewelry and more"; I for one am looking forward to everything to come in Hope's shop -- we share a love for vintage things and she has oodles of talent so it's sure to be amazing!  Definitely one to favorite on Etsy!

The corn drying rack is a great idea! I feel like I barely even had a chance to get out the Valentine decorations before it was all over. :( We'll just have to get ready for the next holiday!

That tag is gorgeous and I can hardly wait to see what you got at the sale. There haven't been any nearby in several weeks but there are 4 tomorrow so I know what I will be doing with my Saturday and it isn't housework!
Off to check out Hope's Etsy shop now...

Just love your valentines stuff! I can't believe that I have never seen a corn drying rack before! That's so cool!

Hope is amazing. I asked her once how many soldered pieces she had done and I wish I could remember. It was like 4,000 or something! Sure have missed coming to see you. I hope to get here more.
Hugs,
Suz

You are too sweet for words! Thanks so much for the 'press'...I adore you and the words. Thanks so much. I have a wrought iron corn drying rack. Never thought to use it as a display vehicle! Great idea!
