Wishful Wednesdays

Made a custom order for a customer and it just took me two days to complete. There are other initials available in my shop. Plus three of the tins are ready to go check it out. This was the only personalized I for Iris, that I have ever had. My favorite flower is the Iris especially the purple ones as that is my favorite color too. Next comes blues and then greens. I am positive my customer is going to love this beautiful repurposed tin I have made. Go to my shop at http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/ to see others I have made already some like the letter V. But this is truly OOAK (one of a kind) and lovely. Certain plants are blooming at Glenna's Garden like this dainty African Violet. She has been with us for several years now she happily blooms every Spring just like clock work. Her flowers unfortunately are too lush and fleshy. They are ruffled. She does not press well. She can not be pressed for use in any projects here at Glenna's Garden so I decided offer you a glimpse of one of many different plants in Glenna's Garden. Have a Wonderful Wednesday I did. I got a surprise visit from my son who brought along my grandson who is now almost 15 months hold. He kissed me for the first time. I love my grandson so dearly. He was a blessing from above as he was born on my Mother's Birthday. My angel baby. I wish for some more wonderful Wednesdays like today.

Sailing Through Sunday

I had a great day yesterday. Spring is at its' finest. Gorgeous flowers everywhere. I was out and about Downtown Manchester, NH making my rounds. Lee's Bookstore, lunch at the Red Arrow Diner (famous place), and Corey's General Store just opened up. It is becoming one of my favorite places to stop. I also like to visit the Helping Hands Thrift Store. I found some nice items to decorate and sell at my shop. I started with the beautiful hand mirror first. I used Japanese looking flowers on puffy stickers to adorn both sides of the handle and the back of the mirror. The mirror frame is a clear hard plastic with a ridged diamond pattern design on the back with silver glitter set in it. The handle itself is clear and see through so I placed these beautiful flowered puffy stickers on the front and back of the handle. The Japanese motif is in the colors of white with a very slight yellow tinge, turquoise, magenta and black. Next I attached a turqoiuse colored ribbon to the handle which already had a hole in it. On the ribbon ends I tied on plastic beads in the same colors to match. It can still be hung on a hook and would look great in any bathroom or bedroom. I took a quick shot of the mirror. In the picture are some of the other items awaitng adornment and they will soon be listed for sale at my shop http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/ woo hoo I have reached 15 sales now.
