Second Pot

This is a pot to be used in a baby's room. I used one tile each of yellow, pink, aqua and green. The rest of the tiles are an off white. I have NOT finished the painting so this is only a preview. It will probably take at least five coats of yellow paint to make it look right. SOLD

New Pot

This turned out better than I expected. This is one of two pots that were ordered for gifts...she asked for blue and grey!!! I had my doubts before I started it...but I must admit....the colors look great together. Take notice that I used two different shades of the blue for a little interest. SOLD

Margaret's Pot

Well...I finally made good on my promise.....I planted a Christmas cactus in the 60's vintage pot and tiles and delivered it to her on Saturday. She seemed very pleased......a wonderful lady....great friend. I hope when looks at the little pot she will think of me and smile.

I have started on two flower pots (that are already sold) and a flower on a piece of wood with a hanger on the back.... I really can't call it a picture frame....you will just have to wait for the pictures. Hopefully I will have them completed later in the week.

Jewelry Box

This is the only project that I completed this weekend. A small jewelry box....the color didn't show true...it is a soft pink.

Calico

Calico...I will be working on more cats.........I HAVE to.........that was by far the most popular item I had. I'm sorry I did not see your post until today. I have been soooooooo busy trying to get ready for Riverfest I hadn't looked at my posts!! I apologize for that.

Riverfest 9.20.08

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came to visit me at Riverfest!!! I saw many friends and even a dear classmate and her wonderful and sweet girls....I know you look at my blog and you know exactly who I'm talking about!!!!!!

I only brought three items home and they fit in a small plastic bag!!!! I could not be more pleased. I never in my wildest dreams ever...ever...thought I would do that good!!!

Thank you to dear friends and family members who pitched in and made it a wonderful day!! I think we all worked well together and made a lot of hard work go smoothly and with a few jokes along the way!!

A good time was had by all.......and the all........are very tired today......rest......

Small flower pot with vintage tiles from the 60's. SOLD

Last two items before Riverfest

Another little wooden tray that I found. SOLD

I think this was a "homemade" wooden box.

My Latest Trash to Treasure

I think this was originally a candle holder...if you look closely you can see red wax!!

Tile Purchases

These are my most recent tile purchases....I have no idea what I am going to use them on...but I buy things that I like and decide the projects later!!!

I have looked at thousands of tiles on the Internet and in person and nothing has ever come close to the beauty of this tile. This tile is from the 50's...on the back it reads "Pat Clincher Old Bridge" made in the USA. Notice the details...it has a crackle finish and the thickness is unlike anything made today with the exception of marble. My dear friend Margaret gave me this tile also. I hate to sound selfish...but this tile is going to be used on a future project yet to be determined...that I will be keeping for myself!!!!

A very dear friend named Margaret gave me this pot and the tiles. They both are from the 60's...notice the detail on the pot...you can't buy that kind of quality anymore. I think I will put a plant in this lovely pot and return it to the original owner as a gift of appreciation for her thoughtfulness.

A small tray....notice the pretty tiles...they are from the 60's and they were made in the USA!

This is the finished product without Angel....

This is a rather large flower pot that I took to work....when I turned my back.....Angel was sitting in it!!!!! How Cute.........

The largest pot I've ever tackled...when I finished it LD told me I had one shot on where to place it because of the weight!!! LOL

This is another wooden bowl. It is 13" around and 4" deep. This will be at Riverfest. SOLD

I liked this table so much that it is now in our family room.

This is actually a large drain tray that I made into a star burst.

This is a little table that I refer to very lovingly as "shabby sheik"....LD literally picked this table up off the side of the road in a trash pile!!!! SOLD!!!!!

These are two picture frames a flower and butterfly.

This is actually an old TV stand. I love the dragonfly pattern but my bird leaves a little to be desired!!! LOL
