Goodies and treats
This is the newest handpainted plate find for my dining room. I found it at the flea market. I hope to someday be able to line the top of my dining room walls with a border of pretty plates. I have to collect the small size as there is not much room between the ceiling and some decorative molding.
Our fleamarket has a building of inside shops and I finally used a giftcard that I have had since valentines day to buy this snowman. He is so not me. I don't have any snowmen and he isn't pink or aqua but I wanted something different and his face is so sweet. Most of the shop is too primitive for me except when they get their Christmas decor in. They have the beautiful pastel putz houses in the large size and I was planning on getting that.....but didn't . I like him. Do you think he can go with my other pretty pastel Christmas items? I would hate to put him in the bathroom where all the not-quite-right decor goes. I think he will have a home in my kitchen which is not very cottage. Anyway. He makes me smile.

I've been busy!
I have been lucky enough to have some creative time to myself. I created 2 collages and 2 sets of Christmas cards for my etsy store. Creativity feels good doesn't it! What did you make this week?

Happy Birthday to me!
I wanted to thank some special people for remembering my birthday. The first is my friend Bertie. She makes the most gorgeous items from bridal laces from wedding gowns. And boy, can she fill a box! Please go look at her site.Thanks so much!
Next is my friend Katie . Katie makes such sweet roses out of delicate paper and she sent me this one adorning a magnet for the fridge. She also makes tea bags in the shape of roses. Check her out.
My DD got me a pedometer ( and I clicked that baby right on) and a book about ...well,...bookmaking. I wish I had a small portion of the artistic talent that is found in my girls. Thanks honey!
DD's boyfriend even bought me a craft book. I like him already! he-he.
My DH bought for me this necklace from Karla , at Karla'scottage. Actually, I bought it quite a while ago and told him to put it away for me. It was worth the wait....and I really had forgotten what it looked like. Love it! Thanks buddy!
