Sweet Pink & and a Project For You

Some pink treasures from our latest garage sale outing.

I'm keeping an eye out for pretty tea cups.....

And tea pots.....

because we are going to start having Tea & Treats at the store!!!

I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!!

We will just have 3 or 4 little tables set up,
and only serve two at each table, for lack of space.
It will just be tea, and a pre wrapped muffin or ?,
due to a non certified kitchen on the premises.
That's OK.
We're gonna' have ball anyway!


And here is my most fave
(and most expensive) tea pot.
I fell in love with this and had to have it,
even though it was much more than I usually spend.
Isn't it beautiful?

OH MY WORD!!

What are these?
They are certainly not pink!!

But if you take those,
and this...

and these...

You get this!!!

Yes, my mini match boxes with mini tea bag roses
have turned pink!

I'm lovin' the change in color!

That is it for today.

Besides a wonderful Pink Saturday,
I hope you all have a Blessed Easter,
as we celebrate out risen Lord!!

Beautfuil Apron, Easy Crafts, and a Thrifty Find

Does not get any easier than this:
Found an old jar.
Perfect for old clothespins.
Wrapped some jute around the top.
Added a bow. Done!
(Love these easy projects!)

This is my first wired ribbon bow.
I know there are great instructions out there,
but this one I just sort of twisted, and turned,
and glued as I went.
Easy and fun!!

The mini boxes I made last week.

Our sweet little Ava and her finished sewing cupboard.

The miniatures are mostly things i made years ago.
Calendar. Bolts of fabric. Wood books.

A little embroidery hoop, and embroidery thread.
Tiny eye glasses.
When she wanted to put a miniature milk jug in
I asked her if that went in a sewing cupboard?
" Well. They might get thirsty!"
Thus the bread in the basket of yarn balls
and old clothespins.
They might get hungry. =)

This is be beautiful apron I one at Funky Junk Interiors
Celebration Party a few weeks ago.
It is from Make Mine Beautiful.
(click on her name to see her Etsy shop).
This apron is incredible! Pockets Everywhere!
Just the thing a do it yourself person needs.
Beautifully lined, and sweet details at every part.
And look at that sweet little jewel on the front pocket.
Sweet!!

Here is my thrifty find.
I want to put baby shoes, old pics, and nest and
whatever else I can find in it.
Do I need to paint it?

I kind of think the old brown satin would lend
itself to the old vintage items going in it.

Top edge is kind of interesting.
Not sure i like it, but think it may not bee
too noticeable when i get all the treasures in it.
OK. Give me some feedback here on what you think.
Thanks.

OK, that's all. Hope you all have a great Monday.

Please go visit all the wonderful gals who host the Monday parties.

Art Pieces, Mini Boxes, and a New Display

Ps 139 Jar.

I've been out of these for awhile.
Hard to find just the right jars.
Ps. 139:17,18 is one of my favorite scriptures.
It's how much God thinks of us:
More than there are grains of sand.
Amazing!!

I showed these little match boxes yesterday,
with my tea bag roses on top.

Today I dry brushed the edges with black,
and lined the bottom with felt.

This one has 4 little vintage buttons in it.
These buttons are only 1/4" wide!
That's how small the box is. =)

I added a little pearl to this one to finish it.
I'm so glad little miss frugal here,
has save all those little pieces of this and that.
Just enough for these little boxes.

And here is a sweet little vignette.
Can you imagine a little vintage treasure in that sweet box?

Here is a new nest in a wire container.
I lined it with burlap, and set the nest on top.
Then I ran some big jute through
the holes and tied a know it front.

I love the nest and burlap together, and will
be doing more of this combination.

Here is a closeup of the nest.
(seeing this pic has given me another idea!!)

And a closeup of the container with jute knot.

We've been changing the store around,
and moved the black and silver to the hall.
Picture is a little dark, but I think if
you click on the pic you can still take a look around.



My Victory of the week:
WE FINISHED THE TAXES!!!!
Done, finished, sent in!!
A deep sigh of relief, and ready to get on with life.

Blessings to all who visit here.
I so enjoy seeing you have come by.
