Christmas at the Shop

Hands down the busiest time of year...ever! We have had 2 Open Houses and 2 Shows already in the past couple of weeks on top of getting ready for St Mary's Downtown Tour of Homes which is this Saturday (Dec 8th).  The shop is looking pretty Merry though and I wanted to share some pics for the loyal followers (who still hang in there as MIA as I have been!)

We have a thing for Glittered Nutcrackers and Santas this year...half of them are named "Sugar Britches"~

Alot of Mercury and Champagne Colors-~

I'm going to hate when Christmas is over and all this wonderfull fat mercury glitter is gone!

Isn't this so sweet?? Little Bird in a Christmas Vignette. We are prepping for the Tour of Homes this Sat as well as the first Mt Dora, FL Vintage Christmas Show so if you're in either area please stop in and say Hi!

Ma Maison Garland

I worked on a couple of gardlands in the past few days and this by far is my favorite...I find an excuse to walk by it every time I'm in the room just so I can see it again. Don't mind the blank wall...it's actually hanging over a window that was sheetrocked over by the last owners and is going to be re-opened soon so I can't hang anything heavy there since it would go straight thru :)

Most of it was different recycled wrapping or papers but I love making them and putting it all together. We are doing 2 more shows in April (The Fancy Flea in Lakeland, FL and then The Shrimp Festival in Fernandina Beach, FL) so I'm getting everything ready and creating piles of stuff! I love it!!

This is one more I made orginally for my craft room...

Next on the list is a Marie Antoinette one and a Cupcake one.

Have a great day!

The Mushroom Factory

I have become slightly obsessed with glitter this weekend...it all started with Pinterest (of course!) but have had a blast gluing and glittering to my heart's content in the past few days. I found these wonderful mushrooms forms and began "growing" them in my little Mushroom Factory in the Dining Room and I love each one so much that I wanted to take you on a tour of the factory!

This is the factory where Glitter Mushrooms are grown in little French Terracotta Pots on a sweet bed of moss! There is soo much glitter everywhere that I 'm pretty sure it got in our food last night...but I'm not going to bring that up at my house! I wish I had more forms since they just look so sweet.

And finally... the Harvest! I want to use them in a cloche or terrarium but have to find some beautiful things to surround them with...maybe some fern...moss and a little succulent.
