Everything I love....pale, antique colors....roses...distressed furniture.....
Look at those passion flowers!
A beat up old chair...looks like John Derian furniture....

Ceramic Roses and Chandeliers

I made these roses years ago planning to put them on a plain chandelier....
They are pretty large....about 2 inches across and made out of ceramic...........
I've been looking around at other chandeliers....this is a pretty one! I found it here......

Here's another.....found here....you can bid on it!
this one is pretty....I have a pretty plain chandelier that I found at the "take it or leave it"....

I love the flowers on this one....I might need a mold to make those! I found this here.....

These look alot like dried roses..... found here.....
and these little beauties are neat and tidy! I could see them in a little girl's room...... I found them here.....
Off to play in the studio! New items in the Etsy shop tomorrow.....stay tuned xoxo

Garden a go- go

We got ourselves a garden plot at the Nantucket Community Gardens....YAY!
Jeffrey let me have a wee bit of the garden at the house for flowers last year....but we don't have alot of full sun, and by George, I am determined to grow some flowers this year!
So he can do his garlic/veggie thing both here at home and out at the Community gardens with me! I can't wait to dig into those seed catalogs....
Whoo Hoo! :):)

More Ceramic Hearts

Love is in the air....these ceramic hearts are the size of a cookie...about 3 inches tall....and less calories! :)
Remember the candy hearts that would read "kiss me, you fool"?....Just "kiss me" is so much sweeter....

Little tokens of love......
