PS Can you believe it is time to set
up for Fall, and Halloween?
One of the 'drawbacks' of retail,
is having to do everything a season ahead.
I'm still enjoying summer decor!

I'm showing my tea cups to all my Mellow Yellow Friends
Pleas go visit for more sunshine.

"New" Doll, Nests, and Hope

Here is the sweet 'new' doll I found.
Not sure just when I started liking them,
but if it is crackled, aged, a bit raggedy,
I'm drawn to it.
Oh, has to have just that certain personality/look too.
One of those 'you know it when you see it' things.

Her eyes open and close. Love that.

I have friends who restore old dolls.
I will ask them the best way to clean her and her clothes up.

And maybe fix her lips.
They are distracting I think.
But, if that is the way she came originally,
I will leave them.

She came in this little woolen coat.

and this sweet little dress which even has a slip under it.
All very thin, fine material. I do not want it
to disintegrate when it is cleaned.

And I'll ask my friend if she is at all valuable.
She has some markings on her neck.

Here are some little tags I am making.
Got the tags at a garage sale,
tea stained them, stamped them
and wallah! Cute tags.
And we can all use a little hope.


And I'm braggin' on my students who
made some cute nests Monday in class.
It was our first nest class at the store.
Old Trowel. (sorry for sideways pic)
a burned out candle. clever.
Go HERE to see rest of class pics.
Go HERE to see about next Monday's class.

Fantastic Friday!!

My victory of the week is that I got all these things done!!

A corner in the store went from this.....

to this.
( it's a beginning).

I got these two denim flower pins done,
and all those yarns and strings tagged and inventoried.
(Great Denim Flower Pin tutorial by Sachiko at Tea Rose Home.)

I got 6 little Friends tags done.

Finished another bird nest in a frame.

And finished an order for someone.
(better not show you in case gift recipient is looking!) =0)

I also tagged and entered more pages of inventory,
and added pages of numbers for taxes.

My frugal tip today is to save all those
little tiny pieces of everything you think you
cannot possibly ever use for anything!
I used some of them for my Friends tags.
(I'm learning that from my friend Diane, at Diane Knott's Musings!
You should see what she does with scraps!)
Be sure to scroll down through her posts.
You will be amazed at how she puts such wonderful treasures together.

OK, I'm off to rest my aching back, and brain. =))
