Thoughts of Spring

Squirrels are out....
flowers blooming
(pic from last year)
Birds are singing..
(well, just sitting on a box really)
bunnies are hopping....
or sitting.

and we have new furniture at the store.

think it will quit raining long enough to use it?

maybe after a good cleaning.

Spring is on the way!!

Sweet Whites & Glass Balls




New little white treasures.

Love baby shoes, and cast iron birds.

A new little tea set.
Too small to use,
but sweet to look at.
I showed you these glass balls yesterday.

This is what I did with some of them.


And here are the rest.

If anyone knows what they are "really" for
please let me know.
I think when I have seen them they have been just like this.
Simply unique decor.

Hope you will go check out all the other
cute things at Kathleen's Faded Charm.

Little Ceramic Birds

I am re posting this from last Spring for all you newbies. =)



Remember those cute little white ceramic bird dishes?
A whole 2" long max.

Well, I used some of these materials,

And came up with these.This beautiful blueish color,

And this, the same color but antiqued.

Instructions anyone??

Spray glossy ceramic surface with matte sealer. let dry.
sponge on color of your choice. (small item, small pours in sponge)
*(letting some of the white ceramic show through gives it more dimension.)
let dry, and spray with matte sealer again.
let dry and wipe on burnt umber paint
mixed with color float of any other acrylic paint extender.
gently wipe of top of brown,
leaving color in grooves. Let dry.
Spray with matte sealer again.

* If your ceramic is totally not a color you like,
you can sponge on two coats,
or spray paint it with a base color then follow above steps.
Always use the matte spray before and after you paint on glossy surfaces.
That is what keeps the paint on!

There you go, fast and easy!!

Blessings,
and thanks for coming by.
