Some new Jewelry

Happy Tuesday!!!

It's going to be a beautiful day today, sunny and mid 60s!! 

Our Thursday is calling for 83 degrees, then back to 60s for the weekend, what a jump but I will take this nice weather!! :) 

~Speaking of this weekend, there is a really cool and neat looking market, called the HobNob Market in Danville, IL. I think we are going to go!! It looks so exciting and full of treasures! If you go to their website or facebook page you can see some pictures! It's about 2 hours and 45 minutes to 3 hours and 20 minutes for us...depending on what route we take. 

I made some new jewelry, here is a drawer pull that I made into a bracelet

Hand stamped "Blessed" bracelet 

with neutral colors 

I was just playing around when I made these little branch earrings, 

I think they are kind of cute! 

Here's another stamped (spoon) that I made into a necklace piece, 

with a pretty vintage brooch at the bottom! 

I really like this necklace, I might have to keep it!

But I'm hoping to make some more this week and put a few in my Etsy Shop and my booth uptown

(not sure why the picture decided to turn itself either!) 

Wishing you all a wonderful day!! 

Hope you are able to enjoy some lovely spring weather too!!

Pink Pyrex

Hi sweet friends! Happy Sunday morning to you all!! 

Pink Pyrex is not only good for being cute on a shelf, or baking a yummy dish in it; 

its perfect for displaying some of my warmer tarts!! 

 Just look how much prettier they look!?! (: 

This scent is called Orange and Goji Berry, smells like a sweet juicy orange, with a little tartness from the Goji Berries. 

I know I already gave you a peak of some new goodies 

I had found, here's a few closer and clearer pictures!

I just loved these pitchers, and I had to buy three!

 This fun looking rack, had a little Ikea tag on it, it was only $2. I thought I might nail it on a piece of old/weathered looking wood and hand it somewhere. Not sure what I will put in the slots. You all are so creative, any ideas for me!? :) 

 and then there were some more Jello molds....except these have a plan in mind for them!

Thanks for all your sweet comments!! I hope you all have such a wonderful and beautiful Sunday!!

Estate Sale goodies

Hi sweet friends, its almost the end of the week, 

and I can see a little sunshine peaking around the corner! (Hopefully!)

Last Saturday I went to the first estate sale of the season! It was a nice morning, and little chilly but lovely! Four generations had lively in the home, they had pretty wood throughout, big tall wooden doors and a cute little staircase that went upstairs to two small bedrooms. 

It seemed like some things were kind of high priced, but I managed to find a few treasures to bring home with me.....

 A pretty vintage set of sheets that were never even opened, 

they came in that box next to them. Wrapped up so pretty too!

 A few Christmas tags, and decorations 

Love these Jello molds I found just when I was going to check out!! 

 Some cute vintage gift boxes, one bag is an "any occasion" and the other is Christmas

I love the pretty graphics on them!! 

 I found this box of these pretty wine stems (I think they are crystal too) and a few beer glass in there....I know I really didn't need any more glasses right now and where was I going to store them?? But for only $1 I couldn't pass them up!

Wine glasses all washed and pretty!

I found this cute suitcase outside in a tent, for $4

I loved the shape and thought it might be perfect to do something fun to it; modge podge some pretties, or maybe paint it??? hmmm. 

It's always so fun coming across things that someone else once owned and loved!! 

Thank you sweet family for all the treasures!! 

Wishing you a lovely Happy May 1st today!!

I just couldn't wait....

Hi there!!! 

You guys..... I bought my first pink Pyrex today!!!!

I'm so excited

I feel I may be starting another addiction collection! :) 

So I took a few pictures with my camera, these are from my cell (sorry the quality isn't too great) But I just couldn't wait to show you!! 

This is what we ate for dinner tonight, it was pretty good.....so very easy too!

Put a few salmon fillets in the middle of a 9x13, half the tomatoes and put on one side and green beans on the other. I drizzled a little olive oil on them and just a little salt and pepper. On the salmon I used a little lemon pepper seasoning and melted butter. 

Put in the oven at 400 degrees and bake for about 20 minutes!! 

Only one pan to use and clean!! 

Thank you pinterest for the recipe! 

I have it pinned on my Food Board (: 

 The horses were grooming each other in the pasture (: 

Have a great night!! 

I'll be back with better pictures,(lol) and with a few finds I brought home from the estate sale too!! :)

Letter Boards

Hi there! 

Happy sweet Friday to you!! 

What a quick week that has already passed! 

If you seen in my last post, I found some games at the thrift and I was "playing with some of them" crafting up something.....

Here's a few letter boards I made up...I'm having so much fun with these! I'm hoping to find a game with black tiles and white letters! I'm on the look out for any games with letters! 

There's just so many fun possibilities!!

 Look you can set these anywhere in your home! I think my little birdie likes the sign (: 

 I put the 'Eat Cake' and 'Soar' in my booth yesterday, 

I'm hoping to make some more of these cuties! 

Too fun!! 

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! Hope we can all enjoy some lovely spring weather!!?! 

I'm going to an estate sale tomorrow morning, I'm just dreaming of what treasures I might find! 

Happy sweet day!

Letter games

Hi there!!! 

A few finds I found at the thrift! 

 (Ok hubby spotted the 'word thief' game) and I'm oh so excited!

I started playing some with the games today.....no I wasn't sitting in the floor playing all by myself, I was crafting something up! :) LOL

I took some pictures, I'll have to get them off my camera tomorrow!! 

 I was lucky to find one leather belt too! 

I've been wanting to make some leather cuff bracelets....I think they will be really fun!

 And an exciting announcement

A Quick and Easy Easter Goodie Bag

Hi sweet friends,

 hope your weekend is beautiful and you're able to enjoy some lovely sunshine! 

Here's a quick, easy, and fun goodie bag for you on Easter! 

I made several of these up for tomorrow! 

First gather your supplies:::

Ice cream cones

M&M

Malt Ball Eggs

Peeps

Clear bags, some pretty ribbon, and some tape!

 I cut the peeps in half and stuck them in the cones, 

then put three malt ball eggs on top then added M&M's as filler

 I just put the cone in one corner of the bags and then sorta roll the bag around, taped it and then tied it off. I trimmed the tops of my bags so they were a little shorter and this is how they turned out! So excited to give these out tomorrow and today!! (: 

So fun! 

I know all my crafty friends would like to make these!! :) 

Happy Easter!!!

Easter hugs, Holly
