My favorite church thrift store had its annual fair on Saturday, so I popped in while my boys were busy camping. This fair never disappoints. Check out these beautiful ironstone plates I picked up. Eight for $7. I couldn't grab them fast enough. Here's a close-up. I also picked up these little angels. I'm going to jazz them up for my craft fair next month. I also picked up these peppermint candles. These will...
I'm busy working on projects for an upcoming craft fair. I don't want to bore anyone with 50,000 posts on Xmas pieces when it isn't even Halloween yet. Just letting you know, I'm still here. Creating, dreaming and prepping. Jeanine ...
As I mentioned a few posts back, I'm doing a craft show next month. I haven't done one in over 5 years. I'm nervous and excited all at once.

I found a tutorial on Pinterest detailing how to make your own faux mercury glass-looking Mason jars, apothecary jars, glass bowls, etc. This guy was my first attempt. I have to say it was super easy to do. You simply do 2-3 sprays on your jar with...
The weather here has left me a bit confused. Last Tuesday, I had the air on because it was so hot and muggy. Come Thursday and we wanted to put the heat on - it was that cold! So it's no wonder my latest projects have been all over the place. I made some Ouija Board Halloween tags for my Etsy. That was when it was still warm out. Once it got cold, I made...
