2 Posts in One!

First! Let me start with my surprise that came in the mail Wednesday! I've been waiting on supplies to come, so when Cora handed me this little box, I was surprised to see that it was from 'Lataina'... One of our blog readers! She doesn't have a blog yet, But I'm working on that;)

Isn't it ALL just beautiful? From right to left..... That's a Mossy K! How smart.... and how Pretty! I Love moss.... then there is this little jug with a bird on a branch- I just love that little image! Next is the cake stand plate! I love the 'crystal' stand it's on! And then there was more moss- Moss Balls!!:) And she made this rusty holder that I decide to put it in! There's another one of those crystals! It all looks Fabulous to me!

And, as if that wasn't enough?! She made this cute little green bag! Perfect for my Beach inspired brain right now:) More on that later.........

You just don't know how surprised I was to receive such a special gift! Thank-You so much Lataina!

I also wanted to drop off some pictures of The Painted Lady... The Glass House... I rearranged some things so you could get a better look of how the shadow boxes would fit into a room....

Do you see how small some of those shells are.... in the bottom left corner, that yellow one is about the same size as the handle on the drawer. They were a pain to glue in. And Yes! Casey I tried tweezers.... I kept plinging the shells right out of its grip! Terrible! So I had use a tooth pick and a Lot of patience! Please excuse that gold bed post behind the turquoise candle... Looks silly in the pic if you ask me!

Also put my London sign in my shop.... One day it will go on the wall, but for now, I thought it was kinda fun it put it here..

And then stepping back... A full shot.... This is the house that will one day be in a fish tank... I need more room, and I want to hang those birdhouses and signs on the wall! And I need a place to put all those cabinets I've recently painted. One day I hope to put some of those kind of pieces in my Etsy shop too....

But not today.....

Today I must 'get to work'! I found a few pieces of molding so I am going to go see what I can make today............ Later, maybe tommorrow I will get to the Giveaway, and maybe a few other ideas I have....

....until next time

See what I mean...

I have run out of room in here! As much as I love this little house, It is just too small!! It's OK though...gives me an excuse to buy/find another house. One day..... when I find a bigger 'shop' this little glass house will house the wicker furniture Casey made for me....Until then, Casey's stuff is staying in the box- don't want the kitties to even see it....And I'll just keep dreaming of a bigger glass house.

I have so much stuff on the floor in here...I don't know how customers would even be able to walk around. Terrible!

The little birdhouses need to make it up on the wall..... so do all the signs I've made.

The big birdhouse (the one with the green roof) was a gift from Mercedes..... And so was the little nest to the left of the picture- on the candle stick. They are 2 of my favorite things:)


See the big K in the lower right corner of the pic? I just love that! The leafy stuff came from Ira, it's in a vase I bought at the dollhouse show.

The blue chair, and pillow and flowers were a gift from Jody (one day will someone please teach me how to make it so when you click on Jody's name it will take you to her site....please! It would make things so much easier:)!!

Also thought I'd show you the pic I made for my Etsy site..... I've gotten several requests for personal signs, and needed a pic to show that it was a custom order. I went with my blackberries as a back drop~ So me:) ......and speaking of the blackberries- It's crazy how many vines I have this year, that stuff has really settled in well. Wonder if I can try and make Jam this year...sounds fun?!

OK.... that's it for today. If you get a chance, stop by my store.... I just listed some benches that you might like:)

Until Next Time.....

A glimpse into my weekend.....

I had a totally kid free weekend, and wouldn't you know that I sat my butt on the couch all weekend! This is what I got done....
*I cut out little squares of material, folded them up, and put them into drawers/ baskets. I love the one with all the pinks:) Very girlie!! And look at those beautiful fabrics in the bottom drawer of the dresser...Those are from Ira in Finland....((And speaking of Ira, HAS ANYONE HEARD FROM HER??? I sure hope everything is OK!!))
.................Still need to figure out what to put into the top 3 drawers...... suggestions welcome!
*I painted the rest of the chess pieces..... Some days, you just feel like painting.....

*I also made some more signs..... I'm using a crackle medium with these.... And Luving it!! I'll take a better (close up) Picture of them when I'm done.

And then, since I haven't really posted any kitty pictures in awhile......And as any multiple cat owner knows how hard it is too get All the animals to sit together...I thought I'd show you the kitties....I had to bribe them with treats for this picture...... But they're all there......

Well........ That's about it for now..... I'm off to crackle some more signs.....

Until Next Time....

Got a Little of a Lot done......

Let's see....
I glued the shelves down on my metal rack........ And finally ended up getting the accessories to where I think I want them.... I have to tell you that one of my favorite pieces is in here...You see the Pisces's plate! I just Love the design on it......And No, I'm not a Pisces's...... I'm an Aries, but it was the only plate that the dollhouse store had, And my Bestest friend in the whole world is a Pisces's.....So I bought it:) As you can see I still have some room to fill............Just haven't figured out what will go there yet....

Then I put a white-wash of blue over the doors.....I thought it stood out to much, so I lightened it.....I like it much better this way:) I also went ahead and glued down the things on the door... The little Birdhouses came from Mercedes.... And all the 'things with wings' will be going on the other side. The dragonfly at the top was a charm from a jewelry catalog I had bought years ago. The cat I've had forever, too! It was a lapel pin.... And that last dragonfly was some kind of pendant. I had originally made them (well painted them white) for Katie's Corner (the pink room), but then ran out of room. I'm so glad I was able to finally use them:)

And here is where I'm at today.....Sorry about the plant, didn't realize it had tipped over until after I got the picture loaded. Again, I'm soooo glad I repainted those doors.... They fit in sooo much better now:)

Well, Alrighty then....... I've got errands to run today, but hopefully tonight, I can get just one more thing done:)

See Ya Next Time:)
