St. Patrick's Day ~ Clay Pot Leprechaun Hats and Emerald Tree's

Hello,
Happy St. Patrick's Day! 
I know I'm a little late with post but
hopefully you can use these ideas for next year!
I wanted to share a few more of my decorations!
A mini clay pot Leprechaun hat!
I simply painted it green, added a band of vintage lace
and a vintage clover shaped rhinestone clip on earring.
And a moss and emerald covered ball made 
with table scatter stones from the dollar tree.
 These table scatter stones are like huge beads and 
they have holes in the center... so I used a touch of 
hot glue and a half of toothpick to make mini picks.
Then I covered the Styrofoam ball with moss
and randomly inserted the stones around the ball.
I just put the ball in a little white rocking chair planter 
but you could also add a piece of ribbon to hang these.
Than I sat my little hat on top of it
and added a vintage post card image.
I also found these little Easter or Spring tree's
in the Dollar Store and it fit perfectly inside a 
vintage milk glass vase I have.
I topped it off with a bit of reindeer moss
and added the table scatter beads onto the wire tree.
The holes in the beads were large enough 
that the wire branches fit right through them!
There were also a couple of stones
without holes in the shape of diamonds
so I just scattered them on top of the moss.


An Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand. 

Love,
Beverly

Collection of Vintage Rose Dishes


Hello,
Well instead of Spring cleaning I have been doing some Fall cleaning
mainly because I didn't get to it in the Spring... or Summer for that matter!
I love collecting vintage dishes especially ones with roses
but I really don't enjoy the job of washing them all!
But needless to say they needed to be done!
I finally got them all back in my china closet...
but still haven't got the vintage doilies washed and back in ... sigh!
The set on the top shelf are one of my favorites.
I found them at a yard sale in perfect condition for $3.50 for the set!
They have wild roses on them and I think they are beautiful.
The second shelf is a mismatch of rose dishes and my
very small collection of pink depression glass.
This set of dishes I bought when I was 17 years old
from an elderly lady that I cleaned for.  
Wow that was 30 years ago! Shhh... lol
The funny thing is I have about 20 dinner plates
and only 1 cup! 
Someday........ I plan on using some of the extra plates for a 
broken china table mosaic and looking for some more matching cups.
So there you have it my nice clean collection of 
vintage rose dishes in my china closet :)
 I made this rose pomander ball to hang on the key.
I hope you enjoyed looking at
part of my collection of vintage dishes!


Thanks for stopping by,
Beverly

Paris Pink Cinderella Pumpkin With Tutorial









Hello,
If fall colors don't really appeal to you or fit into your decorating style well here is an alternative to the normal orange colors.
These would also look great in a girl's cinderella theme room.
These are so simple to make and here is how to do it...


Materials needed:
Mini plastic pumpkins ( I got a box of 8 at Walmart)
White spray paint (I used Dollar General Brand)
Pink craft paint ( I used Apple Barrel Fushsia)
White craft paint ( I used Apple Barrel Bright White)
Green craft paint ( I used Apple Barrel Sage), Clear Glitter

Misc. supplies:
Newspaper
Brushes
Aluminum tart pan (or similar to mix paint)
Non Stick Aluminum foil for drying
Instructions:
First I spray painted the pumpkins white. Once they dried I mixed the fushsia pink paint with some white in an aluminum tart pan until it was a lighter shade. I painted the whole pumpkin with the lighter pink except for the stem and let dry. Next I painted lines with the fushsia color in the grooves of the pumpkin. After that was dried I painted the stem with the sage green. When all the paint was completely dried I brushed white glue over the whole pumpkin and sprinkled it generously with crystal clear glitter.
I do not consider myself a great painter by any means but I think these turned out really pretty. I had thought about decorating them with feathers, roses, ribbon and lace but once the glitter was applied I thought they looked good just the way they are.
Hopefully this will be an inspiration for your next crafting project!
God Bless,
Beverly
