{ shades of plum }

My { m a r l e y } cowl is featured in this lovely treasury 

curated by Get Ready Set Go.  I love her collection of items, 

they are all so pretty.  You can click here to go to the treasury.

Thanks so much to Get Ready Set go, for choosing my cowl.

Now I'm inspired to share some of my other plum/purple items.

So here we go, more purply, plum eye candy for you this Wednesday.

 

This is one of my favorites, this is my { t u e s d a y } cowl.  I knit this little lovely up in a ruched pattern,

and this cowl is soon to be featured in a book called " Knit & Wrap " by Nathalie Mornu by Lark Books.

The book will be out in early September,  and I'll be sure to let you know when I get mine.  

{ t u e s d a y } again, this time in a yummy blackberry merino wool, super luxurious.

This is my { l u c y } scarf.  Far from ordinary with all of it's little textural bumps.

Meet { m a r g o }.  Bold, sassy, & fresh.

The lady of the hour { m a r l e y }.

Hoping you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

We're halfway to the weekend woo hoo!

Good morning sweet friends, 

I hope everyone is starting this week off well.

I had a very productive day yesterday, and today,

I have a few new items coming to my shop

and I wanted to give you a sneak preview.

First I have this lovely vintage glass cloche on a painted wood base.

This item can no longer be used for food because of the paint,

but it is perfect for displaying and protecting small treasures,

like the ones shown in the photos below.

Next I have this very old stoneware pitcher made by 

Robinson Ransbottom Pottery,  or R. R. P.  Roseville Pottery Co., of Roseville, Ohio.

This company has been making pottery since the early 1900's, and has just recently gone out of business.

That makes this piece very special, in that no more will every be made like it.

I'm not quite sure of the age of this piece, but it is definitely vintage.

This lovely pitcher measure a generous 8 inches tall, and makes a perfect vase.

Lastly I have what else....more glassware.

I'm having a hard time sharing this little beauty, { you know how I am about glass }.

This is an old vinegar bottle, but I think it makes a lovely little bud vase.

I am in love with the little details on the handle and around the neck.

This is a very lovely example of old glass.

I hope you'll forgive me for not sharing more interesting things,

but I am still in the midst of some major spring cleaning and work around my house.

I have had very little time to be truly creative.  I hope sometime soon to get caught up

and back in the groove of creative and more interesting blogging.

Until then though, you'll have to indulge me while I share shop talk with you.

Have a wonderful week.

*peace & love*

Hello friends,  hope you have all had a wonderful weekend.

I have had a crazy busy, but great weekend.

The garage sale went quite well, I really enjoyed it,

and I was able to sale of lots of stuff.  

Of course not all of it got swept up so I've decided

to have another one this weekend coming up.

I figured I already had everything set up, so why not.

Hopefully I'll get rid of a little more, make a little more money,

and what's left will be donated to my favorite thrift store

to help battered and abused women and children.

I want to share this lovely treasury, with you.

That's my  { c a r o l i n e }  scarf at the beginning of the third row.

I think this is an absolutely beautiful collection of items.

You can go check them out by clicking here.

Many thanks to the curator Monarchdancer for choosing

me to be a part of her collection of lovelies.

I also love the theme and title don't you.


Very well done.

Hope you have a great evening,

I certainly will, because The Tudors is back,

and it's on HBO tonight woo hoo!!


If you don't already watch, you should


check out the past seasons, it's very well done.


I love a good historical drama.

Hey, it really is the little things in life you know.

* peace & love *
