My Village People

About 20 years or more, I stopped at a yard sale near
my home and found a small tattered box, I peeked inside
and was soooo totally amazed at what I saw, it was
a tiny vintage village with darling little folks, some sitting
on pine cones others on ski's, but they were all so adorable!
I'd hoped to collect a village just like this one someday,
but I never dreamt I'd find it at a tag sale for $.50! So
needless to say I scooped the box up and the
rototiller I also found! To this day I believe it
to be my best yard sale EVER!!!


I love each and everyone of these little guys!

Each elf has such personality!

Does ANYONE do this? I get into one of my CrEaTiVe MoOdS....and the next thing I know, SiDeTrAcKeD! UGH....

A few weeks ago, right after the kids
wedding, I'd decided to finish some of my
unfinished projects, and work out some of the
designs I've had rattling around...I was doing
a GREAT job, I had a stack of soldering done,
just waiting for their bling to be added or
a ball chain or two...

Enough with he excuses, here are a few of
pendants!

Pansy's run through out my house, a constant
reminder of my Grandma Stella! When I was
a little girl, she took me out her back
step and showed me her pansy garden, she
wanted me to see their pretty faces! I
cannot look at a pansy to this day and not
see their sweet pansy face, that she
shared with me that very special day!


For all of YOU Nana's who...Inspire, dance, sing,
are creative, that listen (mostly with your heart)
& cuddle...

I had to make this for YOU!

A little whimsy O'Mine Pansy!


I looove this cabbage rose and the sweet
little face peeking out!

You might not know this, but I looove anything
cottage, including this little cottage picture!

My Mom would have loooved this!

...and the other side

Christmas is fast upon us

Here's a peek into my Christmas follie!





I've been inspired to make some holiday
bracelets. They're OOAK and full of whimsy,
with trinkets and baubles that I've been gathering.
I've also been having fun raiding my button boxes again!
This has been such a fun project, it's a little like being
on a treasure hunt!
