...For Me? ♥

A big Whoo Hoot to my Blogging Buddy Pammy in Texas @ Scotty's Place . I just got a package from her and this was inside.

Aren't they FABULOUS!!!!
With my job at the Deaf School, they are especially going to come in handy.  We have to walk from building to building on campus, come cold wintery snow season, gloves are a must. But it's harder to sign with my gloves on.  Now I can talk away with these lovely Fingerless gloves!
I'm so excited!
I made Annie be my hand model because she has such pretty hands.

Awe~ She is signing "I love you"♥

Aren't they scrumptious?  I am going to be the envy of everyone.

Hey... did you notice Annie's nail polish?

Here, let me show you a close up....
This is Katy Perry's OPI line.  It crackles.  You paint it over any polish, and it crackles like this.  It looks like black polish, but when you go over the other polish, it separates like this. Pretty cool.  The Easter Bunny put it in both Annie & Emily's baskets this year. That Easter Bunny has always tried to stay with current fashion trends.

So back to the Romantic Fingerless Gloves... Pammy was participating in a Pay It Forward thingy we did in Blog World a while back.  I was one of her winners! 

Which reminds me.. I haven't completed my crafts to my winners yet. 
ummmm.

I'm on it now.  I promise! So Mark over at A Pirate Looks at 50 . And Rosaria at Sixty-five, What now? . Don't give up on me!  I will get it done :)

Love to all~  Enjoy the beautiful day♥

Flea Market Style

Flea Market Style 2011

Let me say, I rarely ever will spend $10.00 on a magazine.
~HOWEVER~
The other day while I was waiting on my Pharmacist to fill a prescription I flipped through the magazine. Oh My Gosh! This is an awesome find!
I had to buy! I'm not sure I will actually ever do these projects and or buy these items, but I want to!

How cool is this? What a brilliant idea! Especially for a boys room.

This article was on the coolest house. They had some really great collection pieces. I absolutely LOVE the side table! It is an old washing machine tub insert with a glass tabletop! So clever!  And, you know how I love bowls & jars full of collections. The antique cue balls are a great pop of color. This, I can see myself doing.

Check out this "How to" on transforming shirts into crafty items! The next page gave a great project transforming a shirt to a wine gift bag. Another into a lampshade. There are simple instructions and they look great.

Look at these Ball Flowers! Aren't they cool?

I also loved this ideal of transforming vintage rulers into re-purposed items. I would like to try making a frame with some. I remember these being given away from salesmen with logos of their employment. Especially remember Hardware stores, Realtors, and politicians.

This is my favorite! (The reason I bought the magazine).  Isn't this amazing???
 It is made almost completely of this woman's Flea Market finds. She envisioned it and started collected pieces to be included in it for years. Her Husband, Father, and two Sons built it for her as a Mother's Day gift. 
Oh My!  Tooooooooo Coooooool!
I want my Hubby to make this for me!
