It's been so long.....

I guess I forgot how to post pix! Actually , the "done" button never came up after I downloaded the majority of the pix. Oh well, trying again here!

OK, I know what I did wrong. I didn't wait long enough!

What happened to the pictures?

Gee, what happened to all the pix I posted? I'll try again...

Well it's been quite a while since I've posted anything. I've been so busy with Etsy! I've met so many wonderful people, my customers are just lovely! I love everyone of them! I've outgrown my "spare bedroom studio" and will soon be moving into my REAL studio! It has taken my sweet hubby a while to get it done but he's almost there! I'm really excited to get moved in and set up....hopefully I'll be able to post pictures. My camera has been having issues with my computer so I'm thinking I may have to use hubby's camera. My computer isn't set up to accept pictures from his so he'll have to email them to me, blah, blah, blah, lol!
I can't believe it's almost October! Usually I start decorating for Halloween in August as it takes me a solid week to get everything down from the attic and set up. But this year I don't have the time so I will post some pix from Halloweens past. I collect antique costumes and vintage Halloween decor plus I've made a lot of things so I have a lot of pictures! I have to say tho that I am really loving the black and white Halloween and that's what I have out this year (what little I DO have out!).
I'm just posting random pix here. Anything to spice up this poor neglected blog!!!
Enough for now...be sure to check out my shop on Etsy!

Finally!!!

After about 30 attempts to get my Etsy link working, it FINALLY is working! They did some major maintenance over there so I think something was up on their end....:)

I have done nothing but bury myself in my room working on items to put up on Etsy. I am obsessed! And I don't know why.

Except maybe because it's fun????

Here are some things that I'm putting up as soon as Etsy gets it's groove back!

I just have to try this.....

I learned something new (I hope)...

Let's see if this works....

Oh, I forgot.....

I wanted to show you some new things that I made over the weekend....:) Oh yeah, if anyone goes to WalMart and see's the "Tuscan Pizza" in the deli, it's REALLY good! Can you believe it? And I'm not even a pizza fan!

Some of the pix may have lines in them, that's because I scanned the items and my darn scanner makes lines in the pix! Does anyone know a cure? I've done all of the troubleshooting that they recommend.

The pendants above have a front and back....I'll let you guess what goes with what! Ha!

I told a tale!

But I didn't mean to! I just got busy and didn't post those pictures of the faux concrete items. A couple of days late but here they are (above of course!)

I have had so much fun with Etsy! If you have never checked it out you really need to, mainly handmade items and let me tell you, there are some talented people who sell on Etsy! Then there are those that fall into the minimally talented category (that would be MY category,ha!). You can sit and watch the new things that have been posted by going to the main page and here's a link....http://www.etsy.com/index.php

Go and check it out. Hmmm, what did you say? Oh, you want the link to my shop? Oh my, well, if you INSIST....http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5103560....hope it works, I can't get the link to the right to work!!!

How was everyone's weekend? We were cold, wet and windy here as I'm sure many of you were. I thought Spring was here! We had to turn on the heat again and just a few days ago the air conditioner was running. My poor azealeas just couldn't keep their beautiful flowers on after all the wind and rain here, I'm sad to see them go.

Becca, if you read this, watch your mail! :)

Bye all, I might be back later!

Becca, I posted this for you!

That's one of my favorite vintage postcard images! If they aren't the same they are very similar!

Indulging in a favorite pastime....

I've been indulging in a favorite pastime lately....art! Tho I've been busily making things to put up on Etsy I have the time to think about things I'd like to do as I go alomg. You know how it is, one thing leads to another, to another, to another......of course I forget 85% of my ideas before I can ever carry them out! Lol! Above are some past works.....

Hmmm, can't imagine why I can't get the link to the right to work (my Etsy shop). the link below works and it's the same thing....? Oh well, I'll worry about that later! Here are some things that I am selling on Etsy...of course they are on top,lol! I can't figure out how to make them go where I want them! So sorry....I'm hoping to get some more glass slide pendants up soon.

I found the cutest thing at an antique shop a few weeks ago. Faux concrete items. I need to take some pictures of them so you can see. I got 3 things, 2 faux birdbaths and 1 faux basket with a wire handle. Even the lady at the check out thought they were concrete until she picked them up! I have several ideas on what I want to do with them, just haven't decided for sure which it will be. Anyways, I'll post pictures tomorrow. Really! I promise....:)
