Beautiful Glass Glitter!

I ordered some glass glitter from a shop on etsy and just look at how beautifully it was packaged!

The tissue paper was made to look like roses.

I was so thrilled with the package that I didn't even want to unwrap it!

I ordered it from Kimberly at Glitter and Kitsch.

Thanks Kimberly! You totally made my day!

But after staring at it for quite some time I finally broke down.

The glitter is just as beautiful! I can't wait to use it!

I think I'm gonna go play now!

Where's the best place to get German Glass Glitter? And some oval metal tags....

I need some for a few Christmas projects I'm working on.
Where do you find the best deals? TIA

A Vie Renouvele Is Overflowing!

The shop is full of antique, vintage & new items.

I've got a lot more vintage & antique clothing to add as soon as we

install a clothing rack. I love the look of the clothes hanging

all over the place but we have so many more pieces to add that I'm afraid it will

look too cluttered.

I really need to get in there and dress the manny........her decorated hoop skirt sold this week! Yeah!

We've also added a lot more fall since these pictures were taken so if you're in the area please stop in.

My New Etsy Banner by the very talented Miss Rhea!

I was lucky enough to be one of the five winners of a new etsy banner designed by Miss Rhea!http://sweetnshabbyroses.blogspot.com/

Isn't it just beautiful! She still has a few more banners to offer. If you hurry you just might get one!

And check out the gorgeous jewelry she makes.

This girl is seriously talented!

Rhea hand painted the tiny flowers

on each of the necklaces!

While you're there please say a prayer for her.

She has an ill family member & she needs all the prayers we can give her.

Beautiful Stenciled Wall!

You can win the stencil of your choice from Cutting Edge stencils.

Hurry, the giveaway ends September 13th.

Faux cupcakes..............

I'm really surprised at how real they look!

I'm not real happy with the cupcake papers

that I used and now I can't get them off so they'll have to do.

Trial & error I guess. Next time I'll use prettier ones.

 So many people think that they are real! And I've sold quite a few in the shop.

It's soon time to make more.

If you've made any faux food, I'd love to hear about it!

Tea Anyone?

Just a little Tea-cart re-do.......

Ahhh......... thats better! All pretty now!

My First Ever Antique / Craft Show!

It was a lot of work but boy, was it ever fun!

I'm hoping to do more shows next year with more advanced notice. I only had 3 weeks

to get ready for this one. That is just not enough time.

My sister Carol stayed and helped out all day.

Thanks Carol! I couldn't have done it without you!

I didn't have a lot of sales at the show but I did get a lot of publicity. We took everything that was left to the shop the next day and sales have sky rocketed since then!

I've moved into a new larger space at the Street of Shops also. Pictures coming soon!

Most of the furniture that you see here has since sold but if you see something small that you like, I'd be glad to mail it to you. Just send me an email & we'll work out the details.
