A Trip to Gatherings and Red and White Christmas

We drove to Mt Vernon and Anamosa today, girls needed jewelry supplies from Alice's Wonderland and then off to Gatherings, all decked out for Christmas and as pretty as the shop is, it smells even better! Found some wonderful prims and came home full of inspiration.

I just finished red and whites, some of my best, I think... Off to ebay tomorrow night, sugar bucket is a good one, it is $198. Little bread board is $28 and the tin pantry box is $25, not sure how to price the crock tree yet, but I'll figure it out!

Upside Down

Has this ever happened to any of you? I sat down to work at the computer and the screen was upside down! When I last worked, all was fine, this morning, topsy turvy. I wasted precious time trying to find some easy way to turn it around, before admitting it must be some horrible virus and then went to system restore. Why would it be upside down????? I want answers!

Now that I am back to somewhat normal, I plan a morning of listing since ebay is giving us free listings the next 2 days. Here are a few things on the way...

Tins and Even More Tins


I stumbled upon a bunch of the best old tin molds and changed some up with photos, others as they were. Now I want even more!

One of Those Days...


Oh, it has been a day of petty irritations, thinking I should stay inside and hide! Here is how it goes--get up, sun is shining, get the girls out of bed, head off to Starbucks before we go for a walk. Can't even get in to Starbucks, line is going out the door, so we say why not go to the bakery instead? Now, the Deluxe Bakery people are the best, never had anything there that wasn't the most scrumptious thing ever--until today. It wasn't good and then we decided to go home, get the packing of the ebay done before our walk. The mail came and I got a notice that someone wrote a bad check at my show. To add insult to injury, the bank charged ME $5 for taking the check. When I called, they were completely unhelpful, just told me I should quit taking checks--nice. Thank goodness for the people of Clarinda, the bank there was VERY helpful and told me who to call to get the money back, so now I know how to file a complaint. Really Iowa City? I have to go across the state to get help? So after wasting all this time, I still don't have the boxes packed and we still haven't had our walk and we are HUNGRY!

And now for some Christmas...

Wreaths and Snowmen

I ordered some gorgeous wreaths and mercury glass ornaments for my Christmas show and have some to sell on ebay, love the ornaments on the wreaths. My papier mache snowmen are all glittered and ready for sale too!

More Christmas

I tried my best to take advantage of free listing day, but just couldn't get it all done, these are some more on the way to the shop--getting close to finding my living room under all my projects, but tomorrow is Collector's Eye show, so will probably just add to the pile!
