Just This & That: Pleasures to My Eyes

 No.....Time. Or not enough time anyway..

to do all the things in life we need, and want to do.

 So I am just taking a break....

 and enjoying some things you may or may not have seen before....

 but that I love.

 Like this, part of a sewing machine I dis-assembled.

Be sure to click on it, then hit view image, and it will get bigger.

A new little bird nest in a small leather coin purse.
SOLD

 

A new nest in a dish with 2 little birdies.
SOLD

And my latest 'Remember' sign. 

Hand stenciled on vintage song sheets.

"Remember' is a speical word to me.

Remember all Jesus has done for me.

Remember the Father watches over me.

He provides all my needs.

He understands me....and so much more.

These are all little treasures I have in my store,

but I get to enjoy them till they find a new home. =)

Dominoes to Dainty Ditty Bags

White Dominoes. My first ones.
Only had black before!

Remember my little purse made from a dress sleeve?
I added a little earring.
Just the perfect touch.

and I added a little bow and trim to two doll dresses.
It's the little things that make the difference.
(If you click the picture, you can also see the wire hangers I made.)
And not white, but a bit of info on my brass stencils
from yesterdays post.


I bought the set of 100 (yes there were 100 after all),
and wondered what the value was.
They are selling on ETSY for $2.50-3.50 each!!
(there were some cute necklaces made from them too)
So I did good!! I got a real bargain!! =)

and now my grand finale for White Wednesday!
My very first "Ditty Bag"!!
I've been gathering laces and doilies for several years,
with the intent of making lace purses like my Victorian Bag.
Well, after the first one, I never got around to making another one.... till....
I I found Beth Leintz' blog, Gathering Dust.
She had such a simple design, and great tutorial,
I was re-inspired!!
This was so quick and easy!!
Beth tea stains hers when done, and I was going to,
but I think I love this one just the way it is.
For you non-crafters, Beth has her bags at her ETSY shop.

So, thank you Beth, for the great tutorial,
for answering my questions, and for the
wonderful blog you have. =)

And thank you Kathleen, for hosting White Wednesday each week!

PS Ditty Bag= a small bag to hold necessities.
(my paraphrased definition)
These are just right (about 5x7) for your cell phone,
lipstick, drivers license, and credit card.
all a girl needs. =)
PS I adapted how I attach the lace by using Dawn's method
of gluing, instead of sewing. Even faster!!

Mystery Box Revealed & Blue Question

The mystery box.
Yesterday I showed you this box, and dangled the carrot
that I would show you soon.
I wanted to wait till Wednesday for the
"Would you buy it" meme, but,
my nice side won out!
I guess you know if a box says $20 on it, and it just
looks like a crummy old box, you HAVE to look
inside to see what is sooo valuable.
Above is what the box said on the end.
Did not mean much to me. BUT.....
This is what was inside!

OK. Maybe not too impressive to you so far,
but (again) =)
LOOK NOW!

These are 1" locking brass stencils!
A whole box of them.
all the letters!!
and numbers, and assorted signs!
99 of them!!!!!
(or maybe I counted wrong and there are 100 as the box says.)

Aren't they wonderful??!!!

Now, a bit of a problem:
I cannot seem to find them on line to see what they are worth.
The only way I could find them was made up into necklaces.
I could not even find the company name.
And, I need to find out how to clean them.
So all you wonderful bloggers, help with some info please. =)

And more help:
Blue Question:
Yesterday I showed you these blue enamel bowls I bought.
The pic below is the bottom of one.
It is a Lion leaning up on a column,
with numbers beneath it.
I'd like to find out about them or at least find out
whether I should waste my time finding out or not.
Make any sense?
This is another bowl.
I punched the numbers into computer and got nowhere.
I'm just sure one of you bloggy friends knows about them. =)

That is all for today.
Hope I can get my project done for
White Wednesday tomorrow!! =)
