Getting Ready

Well after my success at First Monday Trades Days last month, I've been working to get ready for the next sale. it's been fun, but sometimes, it's just mundane. As another junking friend recently said. "Making one of something is fun, making lots of the same thing can be a bit boring." Well, I'm not bored, but I am working in an assembly line fashion on some things.

Here are some framed bottles I've made for the next sale. They sold well at my Barn sale, and the 1 I had last month was sold too, So I thought I'd make as many as I could.

I usually just add keys to them, but this time I gave some of them a little Bling. you can't see it real good, but the one with the begonia, has a crystal tear drop on it.


I got inspired last night between 12-1:00am when I was looking through my longaberger catalog at the So Rachel line of Jewelry. I decided to try to copy their Swag Design.

I just love this piece, and it is designed to be hung on a bag, or belt loop, or purse, or just about anything you want to hang something on.
and Take a look at these tokens I found yesterday

Look real close and you'll see an old timey car. On the other side is an eagle.

Well that is my fun for the last few days. I'm going to be making some more of those swags today, and a few other things.

The framed bottle are fabulous Margo! Howe on earth are they affixed to the frame?

Joy, I drill 2 small holes on either side of the bottle. Then from the back I string through a piece of wire. Wrap it around the bottle from the front, and twist, twist, twist. Then I hang whatever I'm gonna hang from the wire and then I curl the ends. The hardest part is putting the bead boards on the frame and painting it. After that It's a piece of cake.

You amaze me. I can never perfect anything because, after I've done one, I'm through. Like you friend says, it's boring after that.
