A Little Blue Monday & New Fun Finds

A little bit of Blue for Blue Monday.
Sally (of Blue Monday fame) is recuperating,
but doing some blue in honor of her anyway. =)
Old Blue crackled tea pot,
a handmade tea cozy from vintage linens,
light blue ceramic creamer,
and don't miss those tiny little blue cups in the back.
Our little birthday girl, sweet Ava, in blue dress
made by her other Grammy!

New creative treasures at the store,
all tucked into an old cash drawer from the circus.

Fun hook/hanger all patina perfect.
What do you think it was used for??

And another new clock.
I Love clocks!!

Blessings everyone.

And get well Sally!!

Little Pink Ballerina, and Some Springy Nests

Our little pink ballerina,
5 year old granddaughter, Ava.

Getting Ready for class.

Foot placement is very important.

Some are more ready than others.

And this sweet girl is ready!! =)

Craft day at Grandmas.

The girls love coming to the store with me.
There is a room full of craft supplies to play with.

Ava chose this little cupboard to paint.
It's about 5" tall.
She's painting it pink, of course!

Then she chose some miniatures to put in it.
I made these when our daughter went off to college,
years ago!!
Those little wire glasses are less
than 1" wide.
The buttons are little beads on a half inch card,
and the embroidery floss is real thread,
less than 1" long.


She was having so much fun.
When she finishes her little sewing cupboard next week,
I'll show it to you.

Nice enough day that we were running around the yard playing tag!
So glad to be 61, and still be able to chase kids around the yard.
(glad she stopped though,
I needed to catch my breath!) =)

Here is an easy, and affordable project for you.
A cheese dome, candle holder, and broken Paris clock.
