Out of the Blue

Happy Monday!

What a Sunday it was....beautiful sunny day in Solana. The show went really well. Took a lot of peeks and I hope you enjoy it.

I love these tent slip covers!

made by Pam

Sweet Deb Hodge was there with her new

and" delizioso" pair of jeans. Love it!

I have to apologize up front, I met so many talented ladies ,I can't remember all their names but I do know how talented they are. This jewelry piece was made by Erin.

Amazing work, enjoy these few peeks

of soldered crowns and seashells urns.

The surfboard were selling like cup cakes!

Lisa Loria, bellissima as always.....and

her daughter Emily. My Mamma would say " e' un peperoncino". A little hot pepper, she had a small table with goodies that she hand crafted, sold everything in the first couple of hours!

This was, and I say it was Sandra Lee's garden box that I purchased as soon as I got there. Is going to go on my kitchen wall as soon as I get my b-day present from my Deano ( Red walls!)

I met Leana with her vintage clothing

more and more vendors

I had just made this bottle the Saturday before, I needed to be practical too so I added a topper big enough to hold a candle.Sold!

Great time, miss taking peeks of few other friends, Debi Beard and Dyanna C. I will catch you later! Better get ready for Saturday "Point Loma Home Tour".

Check out mercatino for next show dates and soldering classes.

Arrivederci Rita

Arrivederci Rita

Hello Bloguettes! I have been invited to be part of the Mermaid's Mercantile in Solana Beach this coming Sunday. I will be surrounded by the most talented artists and I would like to blend in but as you know my colors are.... is WHITE!

I managed to find this light turquoise paper for the initial background, sprinkled with silver German glass glitter. It's hard to see but I added a glass turquoise bead and a small crown charm at the end.

Mermaids any one?

and a couple of seashells necklaces. I will take lots of peeks for next week. Don't forget to check mercatino for the next shows and classes.

White Wednesday French Fleurs

Happy White Wednesday!

I know is not all white but this was the project of the week and is worth showing it off. I knew I was going to get in trouble with Christie moving to Fallbrook.

We are having so much fun working together.

I found 4 doors down at my neighbors house that were going to be dispose of. I don't know if you remember with 2 of them I made signs and sold them. I kept these 2 to use as cabinet doors.

I built the cabinet around the door with 3/4"x8" pine.

I used a opal white for the cabinet and Christie opt for pink for the back.

She is a beauty!

E' una bellezza!

Great work Christie....

and this cabinet will be for sale at the next:

Little things=Piccole cose

{il traduttore e' sulla destra un po' giu'}

Buongiorno

"How little a thing can make us happy when we feel that we have earned it." Mark Twain

I found my treasure last weekend, driving back home from a boring grocery shopping...look, a YARD SALE! Few dollars in my pocket, here I go. On the table a black box, I have a thing for boxes right now, inside there she was (it's a girl to me) a beautiful typewriter. I whispered to my self "don't act to excited, just ask the price". The nice lady says, " I have no idea, make me an offer", I am trying to grab the cash out of my pants pocket so I can see how much I have and how much to offer. I can't, my pants are too tight or I am too fat, I still can't figure that out. The nice lady says "give me what you have in your pocket". The cashola is out! 5.00 whole dollars, she says " I'll take it"!....I was so happy , I was 19 when I took typewriting classes and it was exactly the same one, can you imaging taking a test with that typewriter, I did. I took it home and showed the Famiglia, they love it. It is sitting on a cabinet near the front door and anytime I walk by a tap on one letter. It's mine and she makes me happy! Have a great weekend dear Bloguettes

Arrivederci Rita

Wednesday

White Wednesday at Christie's

White Wednesday!

This last weekend we helped Christie move her shop from Laguna Beach to Fallbrook. Only 15 mins away from my house. I am so exited.....and one of the reasons is, I get to show her whites! This is just a peek of Christie's furniture.
