~ TAG....You're It! ~





 

A brief intermission from hibernation to mention a fun game of

Crazy Quilt Tag at

Pat Winter's beautiful blog.

Pat generously shares a multitude of

crazy quilting inspiration,

education

and just pure beauty on her blog.

You could, and I do, spend hours perusing her blog.

Beautiful photos and creations abound!

Pat also has an ArtFire shop and an

Etsy shop, where she sells

beautiful kits and hand dyed silk ribbons.

The kits are perfect for trying your hand

at crazy quilting....very affordable too!

So...TAG!  You're IT!

Take a moment,

 run to visit Pat,

and join in for

a game of

Crazy Quilt Tag!

~ Hibernation ~

This old bear is wearing too many hats.

Time for hibernation.

Still reading, just not writing.

And taking care of business.

Back later!

~ Autumn ~

Fabulous Fall days are not far away.

Wine colored spider mums in 

deep red Mason's Vista.

Twinkling metallic pumpkins and gourds.

Mum's the word around here...

and, though the first day of

Fall is Wednesday,

outdoors,

temperatures soar into the 90s.

Hints of Fall indoors...

beg Autumn's cool breezes outdoors...

and seasonally

colorful foliage and flora.

Texas is ready for Fall!

Are you?

~ This and That ~

After a couple of days with "cooler", 90 degree weather,

I spent a quick bit of time assembling more of

my treasures to stock the shelves of

my Etsy shoppe.

This sweet cherub on dolphin sits atop

a marble base and carries a

pressed glass bowl for

calling cards, keys, buttons, soap,

or any variety of smaller collections.

My hand painted and glitter swirled pumpkins.

In rich shades of Autumn.

Cinnamon colored glitter on copper.

Olive glitter swirls on olive metallic.

A sweet vintage Hummel style Japan collectible.

A rusty, very vintage, porcelain knob door latch.

A Victorian etched gold and mother of pearl

dipping pen with traces of ink on the nib.

Such formality!

Vintage milk glass crab cake dish.

Art nouveau style vase, marked Japan.

Vintage bird spring clip.

And vintage Betty Boop appliqued pin cushion.

All making their way to my Etsy shoppe.

Special sale prices on select items too!

Have a great week!
