I Wasn't Going To...

I wasn't going to do the eBay thing again... but here it is in December, no one does garage sales this time of year... at least most people don't... and I need to clear out more stuff. :)

I think this chocolate mold is just the cutest thing ever. Now that it has bids, I wish I had kept it for myself. You can find it here, but not for long... it ends today!

So I have started listing things on eBay... old things... vintage and antique things... odds and ends from my home and from boxes in my home. My hope is to add a few items each week during the winter, so check back once in a while to see what's needing a new home. Here's my eBay seller page.

 But.... there are some items I'll always keep... like this adorable bear ornament from my friend Wendy of Whendi's Bears! I love it! :)

Do you have a treasured ornament? Tell me about it in the comments below. I'd love to know! :)

Take care and God bless,
Lana

I think it's about time for a giveaway, don't you?

I'll be giving away 2 items, and I'm going to give you 3 ways to enter to win.

The first item is an 8" x 8" print of my original painting, In the Pink. You can see the original here. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite subjects to paint and I love the colors in this one... perfect for a cottage farmhouse!

The second giveaway item is one of my silk ribbon embroidered pillows. This one is about 5.5" x 10". It features red beebalm flowers embroidered with silk ribbon on a lovely aqua dupioni silk fabric. A little raw edge muslin ruffle adds a touch of cottage charm!

What's It Called?

Do you know what this is? I've had this piece for years and finally decided to use it in one of my jewelry assemblages. However, I'm not really sure what it is called.

There are pin clasps on the backs of the smaller pieces at the top. You can see where I've flipped one of them over. Would it have pinned to a coat?

Any ideas are appreciated!

Thanks!
Lana
