Keeping It Simple During Christmas

Yes, I know, we all say it -
gonna keep it simple this year -
BUT I MEAN IT this time
Because I work 3 days a week in an office,
I find I need a TO DO list this time of year
My plan is 
simple gifts
simple decorations
simple meals
I offer to you in my online shop
simple treasures
if you need an order specially wrapped
please let me know
I hope to entertain you with much more
on simple ideas
in the next posts!

Thank you so much for leaving a comment!
It really makes my day!

November Studio Time


I am home from a recent trip to Chicago
to see family
It was cold in Chicago
but
we had a great time
eating, antiquing, sharing

I am back in the studio
creating away
For some reason, 
I felt that I had to create these ornaments yesterday
-only to find out that I had donated
my mica flakes & glitter-
but a search in my supplies
turned up just enough 
to finish these ornaments

Using vintage French tins
on these one of a kind ornaments

These sweet vintage cross pins
I found while antiquing in Chicago 
I bought a small bag of them for my shop.
I think they would look nice on a fabric book!

I will be sending one to my Aunt,
who lost her home in the Camp Fire in California.
We as a family are gathering family photos for her.
She lost everything. 
Where do you begin when this happens?
