Snow, Snow, Snow.
Well, here I am again on a snow day! [last one before we have to start going into our summer vacation] At least this will give me a day to catch up on my etsy shops as well as blogging and crafting. I am so full of ideas lately, its just getting them to come out of my hands is the challenge.
I wore my lace flower brooch/pin yesterday at school and had many compliments on it! I hope to make more today, as I finally bought some pin backs to sew on.
I am also listening to the Amelie soundtrack, trying to get motivated and wishing that there was more sunlight today for photos. I have things as close to the window as I can possibly get, sigh.
There is a new vintage nightie in the shop. It is too adorable. This may be my most favorite piece.
Also completed today and two frames for my other shop. The first one looks like fall to me. It was a recent thrift store find. Its an amazing frame that I painted black. [it was a horrible gold tone before] It once again is filled with one of my favorite illustrator's work. [Evaline Ness] The second one, as bright and cheery as it is, reminds me of winter. I guess its the cool blue and black and white image. The illustration is from a 1960s science book!

Vintage Costume Jewelry & Terrariums
[1.] -$15.00 [2.] $18.00 [3.] $15.00 [4.] $15.00
My mom's shop Rebelyun has a gorgeous selection of rhinestone costume jewelry right now. [get them while they are there! The second one has already sold!] She has such an eye for photographing these beauties. I remember digging through her stash before I moved out and got married. I have a few special pieces that I will forever hold onto. What a really want to do it mount them inside a shadow box and hang them somewhere. Its not like I will be wearing the large pieces anytime soon!
On another note, I heard that Country Home Magazine is going to no longer be published! I am very sad to hear this news, as it is one of my favorite magazines to flip though for inspiration. This is a photograph from Country Home displaying a gathering of vintage costume jewelry. Their photography has always impressed me.
Country Home [on line] also has a lovely, lovely article on plants under glass. I began my first terrarium last fall and it is not doing too well. [thus the lack of pictures of my own terrarium!] So, enjoy some photos of some very good terrariums. [they are super easy to make and maintain, read this article to find out more about them.]Made by Mavis over at etsy also makes lovely terrariums! She was recently on the front page as a featured seller.
Ah, the green makes me think of spring. It can come early this year, I wouldn't mind.
