My week in pictures

-
I did a little bit of Halloween decorating, after all
I listed some FABULOUS stuff at work
We had our first snow in Colorado
I got a few PINK highlights in anticipation of Friday's concert...
and then found out on Wednesday night the concert was POSTPONED
because Pink needs to rest her voice.

And I won't be able to make it to the rescheduled show.
Yes, I will get a refund.
My buddy and I managed to have a fun night out, anyway, though.
Thanks Rebecca!
And we even went antique-ing the next day!
Guess what I bought? (Hint: read about it on Button Floozies.)
How was your week?

I'm so sorry Pink had to reschedule! That happened to me once with Crosby Stills Nash & Young. They rescheduled for a day/time that I just couldn't do. Pissed me off. My week was good! Went by fast and the time I had with my trucker fiance' went even faster.

Looks like a fun and FULL week all the same. A barrel of buttons = a barrel of fun, hehe!

Did you see that the trunk of WWII stuff is up to $304.99? Wow? It is beautiful. Glad I'm tapped out on money. What I DON'T need is more vintage stuff. But what fun you must have photographing and listing the fantastic items for auction. So sorry about the PINK concert.

Oh No! I LOVE PINK! So sorry you had to miss out but looks like you had a good time anyways. My son is enjoying the weather right now in Colorado and the bit of snow he has seen so far. He and some friends went to Breckenridge over the weekend and he said it was very nice. I'm glad he is able to explore a bit. Have a wonderful week. Tammy

Sounds like a great week, except for a lack of Pink! Glad you were able to enjoy yourself anyway.

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

-
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
