Treasures

These are a couple of my favorite items. I LOVE church sales, charity shops & looking for treasures. The Blue vases was from a Church sale for R20! Crazy! no cracks perfect. I painted the Proteas once they had dyed out with white PVA paint. The retro chair I found in a junk shop for R80 and  covered it with a vinyl table cloth from Shine-Shine fabrics. She was selling all her stock at half price. The painting is by a friend Richard Midegly.

Aloe again!

Sally added to her "Father Xmas wish list" an Aloe sketch.

Time to get Ho hoho!

Jack was very disappointed with the size of our Christmas tree, I explained that he has grown so that is why it looks small - fact is ... it is small! Kids insisted on putting ever ornament that we have on the "little" tree, but it was still looking a little dull and needed a bit or razzmatazz..... pink feather boa.

Aloe there!

My boys & I have been making mini Aloe & Succulent gardens - collecting jars & old tea cups from Church sales and Nazareth House Charity Shop. We have been selling them at Sam's kiddie markets see KidsDecor site to book for the next one or see the pics. Sam will also have a kids section at this years FreeWorld's Designer Maker Market. !4, 15 & 16 Dec @ 71 Waterkant street. See u there!

Kids had fun making their "gift for their teachers". Box of Crayons, an old jar and a glue gun, they were very proud of their creations. For more teacher gift ideas, Pintrest.

Black Board Paint & Mason Jars

Mason Jars (so handy for anything) from The Milnerton Market - only R10 each but the chap is only there on a Sat morning. Layer cookie mix with nuts and chocolate chips and give as christmas gifts, " Cookies in a Mason Jar".

Lino Cut Gift Tags

I have been making these for a while.....(more items for the market) all the paper comes from Deckle Edge art supplies (their off-cuts from trimming sheets). I have about 20 stamps designs at the moment. I will add a pic of all the designs next week. Selling the variety mixed pack of 20 cards for R80 excluding postage.
