Happy New Year! It's hard to believe it's twenty twelve. Here's to hoping this is everyone's year to win the lottery...ha! =) Since I spent a quiet new year's eve at home, I was up bright and early picking up some treats to add to my vintage milk bottle holder: I'm dubbing this our Valentine's Day Candy Land. It's filled with clear mason jars which I then filled with various heart-shaped candies and vintage Valentine's...
This has to be one of my most favorite Valentine's Day images from The Graphics Fairy. I've used it for pillows, sachets, tins and now these petite Dollar Store candle holders: I printed out a wallet size image (yes, the candle holders are that small!) and simply Mod Podged it onto each candle holder. I did another coat on top to seal it on. Once that was dry, I put on the red rhinestones. Easy,...

Then we hit Target for some lights for next year. Somehow I came home with two of these pretties: Yup, Target already has some Valentine's Day items out.

This is the first year I'm getting to use these Christmas plates that I got at Home Goods last year: I love a plaid tablecloth for Christmas and I got this one at Target. The rooster plates are from Kmart. The big ornaments are from a local nursery called Hicks. I bought...
I just love this tea party image from Alice in Wonderland! I saw on Pinterest that someone had taken a beautiful black and white photo and added it to a votive with Avery see-through paper. I had a couple of sheets handy, so I made these: Here they are without the candles. Can you see the little rhinestone embellishments? If you haven't tried the Avery see-through paper yet, it's really great. Just put in your...
'Tis the season to pay homage to Santa: Vintage Santa image on metal tin. Great last minute gift for a teacher or co-worker. Hand-stamped Santa tags to hang from gifts of all shapes and sizes. Vintage Santa candleholders. Santa sheet music. Something my children would say! And finally my favorite Santa ever...Acquired at a garage sale over 10 years ago. The best $3 I ever spent! Jeanine ...
