Instead Of Planting Tulips.....

~SOLD~ :-)
I got up this morning and could tell by the temperature in the house that it was not quite as chilly as it has been. I fixed the coffee and poured a cup and as I looked out to the back yard I thought it would be a perfect day to plant some of the many bags of tulips and daffodils I have accumulated....but, I had started a little pillow with an image of a child that I find irresistible and instead, went back and finished her....the bulbs will have to wait for another warm day. I know that is chancy at this time of the year! :)
I am pleased with how she turned out....her wide and flouncy ruffle is vintage eyelet I found at that amazing antique store in Oklahome....boy do I want to get back there! Anyway, if you would like to see more of her, she is listed in my ETSY SHOP and I would love for you to visit!
Have a cozy evening!

Angels, Tea And Cookies

Today was truly "blustery." We had thought we would journey to some of our favorite antique haunts, but decided to stay warm and cozy instead. This is a day when you want the tea kettle on softly hissing to be ready to warm up your tea!


Chilly, windy and cloudy with the look of more rain, this is not a day to winterize a garden or two, either, so I finished painting this Angel Candle Holder ....


I have resisted painting on resin....why...I have no idea. Maybe a little timid about a new surface. I am so used to wood and fabric. I found this ready to paint on surface, a joy and will be looking for others to paint up....Now I am wondering why it took me so long....
If you would like you can see more of this tall angel at my website The Ruffled Rose where Marian Elizabeth and I have been working away adding new items....

So, with cozy hugs, I wish you a splendid week!

The magnifying glass with the little pink rose is from my youngest daughter from several years ago...I don't think a day goes by that I don't use it...

Little bits of pink in my sewing room....the wishes are from my oldest granddaughter...so sweet!


These silk hankies are a soft whisper pink and I enjoy looking at them very much!

A Bit Of Frou Frou For Friday~~

I just finished these vintage teaspoons....they are now sweet little ornament/accents to hang wherever and they will look perfect on the shabby Christmas tree, too....they hang from pretty pastel ribbons in sugar pink, mint, white and peachy pink....each has the roses sugared with German Glass Glitter and there are little posies that are vintage and new....each has a little rose on the back and are signed by me....the spoons are all sealed...two have darling tiny bells that really jingle....
