Show and Tell Monday

Today I thought I would share a picture of my parents house in Ohio. I have been so busy and have had no time for creating. My parents moved back to Ohio from St.Louis about 6 years ago. This is there dream. The land has been a part of my dads family for years. The street is even named after my great grandmothers last name 'BUNCE Road". As growing up, this is where we always came to visit. My grandmothers house is still on the land infront of my parents. It is sad to see that grandma does not live there anymore and it remains empty. The house is very old and is in need of great repairs. I think my parents are planning on having it torn down. The land is so peaceful and full of nature. There is a pond through the woods that my dad, brothers, and my grandfather dug by hand. I love to go fishing down there. I remember my grandma and her friend Perry showing how to prepare a fish for dinner. My kids love to go down there, the tradition has carried on.

I am so happy that my parents have built a beautiful home on such a wonderful land. I hope they enjoy it there as much as I love visiting.

Happy Monday!

I love you Grandma

I will be traveling to Gallipolis , Ohio tomorrow. My 94 year old grandmother passed away Saturday evening. I was hoping to see her this week and was planning on leaving Wednesday. I feel like I should have visited her before she left. I am happy she is not suffering anymore and know she has found peace and comfort in heaven. I will miss her very much. I think the hardest part is going to be tomorrow when I come up her road to my parents and pass the home where she once lived for years. I have had many fond memories there. I hope she knows how much I love her and how I will miss her. I will remember those memories forever. I love you Grandma!

Shabby Castle and Roses Mosaic Tray

Show and Tell Monday

I found this pretty vintage silver tray and decided to mosaic the tray. I have not done a piece in awhile. I used a very old hand painted plate that had broken accidentally. The plate was one of my favorites with the beautiful castle. I added old gold filigree china, & pink roses. This would be a lovely piece displayed in a home.

Happy Monday!

Valentines

Cupid was on a mission, he was searching high and low, For a couple so deserving of the love he could bestow. His travels took him near and far, from sea to shining sea, Undaunted in his looking for the love that’s meant to be. I’m down here waving wildly, in hopes Cupid will see, And that when he shoots his arrow, it will find it’s way to me. If his arrow flies unto me, will it inscribe your name? Here’s hoping that it comes to you, and maybe does the same. But if it flies on by me, your love is not to be my fate. But my love gives up not easily, so patiently I’ll wait.

New Valentines Treasures coming soon. Valentines is one of my favorite holidays. I am truly a romantic at heart. This week i am featuring my new Romantic Tulle Valentines Wreath. Adorned by pretty treasures. I will be taking custom orders on the wreaths. If interested, please contact me.
