This is how our Valentine jewelry starts...

                                                 Brimfield 2010  A beautiful pile of silverware!

                                        January 2011   These scrap pieces will be used in something...


and now......

Two vintage spoons have been redesigned into this necklace...I can hear the Beatles song as I type!

Only one word...

Christmas wrappings...

I've only wrapped one gift so far and this one is travelling to NH for my mom.

I think I'll be wrapping everyone's with vintage sheet music!



Chrismas Shopping

Our elves are very busy this week preparing for 3 shows this weekend! On Saturday we will be at The Little Italy Mercato and Saturday night we move over to India Street for the  Little Italy Tree Lighting & Christmas Village. On Sunday-be sure to come by the McKinley Elementary Arts & Crafts Fair in South Park. Dress warm for our blustery San Diego weather!

Time is ticking...

Join me at Papertales in Point Loma this Saturday from 4 to 7 for a wonderful evening of 

 Christmas shopping!

Boxes & Boxes...

We have stacks of empty flatware chests and typewriter cases that I can't part with. We started to paint the silverware chests white and line them with vintage sheet music. Then...we thought we would enhance them with small Christmas trees with vintage sheet music rolls, a little burlap and more sheet music...

These trees & more are available at The Cornerstore in El Cajon, CA.

19 years ago today...

This beautiful hand made spoon heart was sitting next to the coffee pot this morning!

After 19 years of marriage I still get incredibly thoughtful anniversary gifts-truly from the heart...
