Wine and Design and some really thoughtful gifts

Last night was June's Wine and Design at Cassie's house.  As always I had a blast!!  The theme was clay.  I had intentions of making some tags for my shop but forgot the letters I wanted to use.  So I made this tiny little bunting out of polymer clay, although I'm really not sure about the color.


And once it's baked I may glam it up a bit.  It's super tiny and it will most likely go on a tiny wreath for my kitchen.  I stamped suns and ice cream cones because they made me think of summer.

I also made this sand dollar out of air dry clay.  I cut out a circle with what essentially was a cookie cutter then I used a sand dollar rubber stamp.  Easy peasy.


I love it!  I have no clue what I will do with it but I think I will make lots more and come up with something.  The wheels are turning!

I made another sand dollar out of polymer clay and I actually ended up making a tag.



Since I took the picture I cleaned up the sand dollar around the edges and poked a hole in it.  I was thinking it would make a pretty necklace.

As you guys know my birthday was last week.  Yesterday morning the girls and I went to Cassie's house.  The kids played while Cassie and I chatted.  She gave me my birthday present when I walked in.  I was blown away!  Here's what she was holding...



A lovely white owl...



A pretty vintage pyrex-esque dish (see above)...

And an aqua box with the first letter of my last name...


Now let's take a look inside the box.


A pretty milk glass dish...


An aqua egg cup with a chicken on it :-)...


A cute little Avon bird...


Some vintage brooches (the one with the B is for Cassie once I make something out of it)...


Some vintage earrings...


And a beautiful necklace...


I couldn't ask for a more thoughtful gift!  So thanks again Cassie!

Last night at wine and design Emily walked in with a bag and said it was for me.  Here's what was inside it...


Um...people!!! Milk glass AND aqua!!!!  I couldn't stop looking at it.  Still can't. :-)


And Jazz also was sweet and brought me a birthday gift.



Beautiful turquoise earrings!  And she handmade the card!!  And if you're reading this Jazz...many hugs your way ;-) !!

Thanks guys!!!! Best birthday EVER!!!!!

  2. Oh yeah, and I am IN LOVE with those sand dollars. I saw in the potterbarn catalogue that they strung them on twine and hung them like a garland on a mantle. SO awesome. And that mini bunting is A-dorable too :)
