Crafty Items added to my shop ..Mason Jars Galore!

Hi!
As I mentioned before, one of the reasons of my extended absence from this blog was that I have been working a lot making items for my shop and craft fairs I will attend to this Summer.
Last saturday I was at my first farmer's market and was sweet :)

I made some of my distressed mason jars and mason pin cushions but tweaked them a  bit with some fabric flowers and twine.
I also made more upcycled lampshades with fabric scarps.
As a finishing touch, I added my homemade tags, with my new exclusive PICK ME A ROSE custom made logo...I LOVE IT!

I have been working in new items for my Etsy shop and for the craft fairs as well.
I am really fond of fascinators lately, have designed some and I must say I like them!





 LOVE those ruffles!
 Very bridal, aren't they?

Quick Cheap ( 3 dollars!!) Caddy

Hi!
I am back after a long time, too long.
I have been extremely ridiculously busy, but all for good causes:)
First, I was involved with VBS  in my church and then my first Farmer's Market.
Exciting times!
In order to be able to get ready for both and to increase my inventory I put my blog aside for a while but I am back!
Actually, this little project was one that I prepared for the Vacation Bible School.
A cheap little caddy for the kid's craft room.
I found these plastic lazy susans at the dollar store for 2 dollars.
I bought 8 plastic cups for 1 dollar and with my hot glue gun attached them to teh caddy.

 




Caddy Ready!

To all of you glasses users!

Hi!
Like a lot of people, I wear glasses. I have been wearing glasses since I was 12, but I am not 12 anymore. Now I need bifocals. And when you need bifocals, things can get pricey, fast. Coincidentally, I was watching a show on TV recently about how ridiculously expensive eyeglasses are...when you buy glasses them in a regular store. But good news! The online market for eyeglasses (a market including 75% of the adult population in North America, according to the Vision Council of America) is booming. And it offers  online glasses at very reasonable prices, excellent quality and great customer service.

So, I decided to give it a try. I found that GlassesUSA has  a very neat feature that offers us a way to "try" on the glasses onlineCheck this "mirror" out. Very smart!




If you are also intrigued by this online alternative, be sure to check Glasses USA and take 10% off any order of prescription glasses!

Soon I will post my new face with my new glasses here, keep tuned!
