junkin' monday

so, i thought i would have to sit out for another junkin' monday ... this virus i have is just
kicking my rear end ... and i don't feel like doing anything ... but ... my peeps still have to
eat ... so when i went on my grocery store run thursday ... i thought since i was showered,
dressed and in the car, i would drive down the road to one of my favorite shops and see if
there was anything pretty there that caught my eye ... there was ... this oh~so~lovely
vintage glass hankie box all smothered in ribbons:

oh my! isn't it yummy?

the ribbons are deliciously faded and tattered ... just how i like them ...

that's it ... one little purchase ... but it is enough ... i love it so much ...

be sure to stop over to "nice and easy antiques" to see what everyone else
found for their "junkin monday" post!

shop update mini

i had my felting supplies out today ... and made this:

if i can get my computer to cooperate, i will be listing it here ...

i keep losing my internet signal ... so aggravating ... this is the first time since this morning
i have been able to get on my blog ... it took five attempts to complete this post ... i will be
around to visit you when i can!

white wednesday

happy wednesday to you! ... i thought i would play "white wednesday" with Kathleen of
"Faded Charm" today ... while i don't have a lot of white things ... i did find more than i
thought i would ... once i really started looking ... and i will share just a few with you today
... i have to spread them out, so i can play in the weeks to come ...

old clothespins wrapped in lace:

and a peek of my favorite piece by artist and friend Cheryl Kuhn:

thanks for stopping by ... be sure to visit "Faded Charm" for a list of all the girls who are participating ... and have a wonderful white wednesday!

something for a friend

so, one of my friends asked me to make a little felted something or other for one of their
new friends ... i said i would, my friend is very dear to me, and has helped me out in count~
less ways ... two days ago, i had an email asking the progress of the feltie ... oopsie! i guess
my friend didn't read the fine print in my procrastination policy ... i didn't dare say i had
not even started ...

i don't know if you visited me on my older blog, i had several posts when i waxed poetic
about my love for the nut~cup ... so when i dusted off my poor neglected felting needles
yesterday ... and dragged out my wool roving ... i combined my love of the nut~cup with
the feltie for my friend ... look at her:

i think she is so cute, that i may be inspired to whip up a whole line of little nut~cup
critters ... wouldn't that be sweet? ... i'll let you know if i do ...
