Sandi got me started on bottles when I saw '2' I just had to have for a gift & then kept them for myself. Two weeks ago as I did my spring deep cleaning I found this old salad dressing bottle from a restaurant ... LIGHT BULB TIME ... I could try to decorate my FIRST bottle. This is what I came up with ... so what d'ya think?
Pop over & visit Sandi's beautiful creations ...
I got tickled with my 'self' not having to use my normal talent I have mastered of writing a check!
At least 3 years of sitting on my counter, fingers tapping on the counter! ... splain later on ...
Celeste, Celestina Marie Designs, sent me this breathtaking spoon as a gift ... she is such a thoughtful & giving soul that I just adore. Please pop by & visit her beautiful spot, she creates such romantic pieces ...
... & the construction is nearing an end, Jerry is installing a corbel in the TV room/office ...
& I am so excited ...
& the posts for the kitchen counter bar area are now in ... aren't they gorgeous ...
... the box on the edge of the counter was my Mother's that was painted by Rebecca, as a gift for me. Isn't it a beauty?
Do drop by her website & etsy to see her gorgeous creations.
These corbels are in the entry way & also in our dining room. I fell in love with the design.
Remember earlier the 'stuff' on my counter for all those years ... Harold is installing her finally. Gail made all the chandeliers in our home, her work is exquisite. Please visit Gail at her etsy shop for more beautiful creations.
Jerry added the rope twist on the mantle & then I just Old English stained it ... changing the entire look of the mantle piece.
Meet my beauty in her glory ... worth all the finger tapping I had to do ... & a couple 'threats'. I love her above my desk area.
Gasp! I love it all my friend. The chandy is 2die4! Breathtaking for sure. LOOOOOOOVE it all!

WoW..absolutely love everything! But my absolute favorite are the new posts under the kitchen counter. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeen thinking of you. Hope you've been well. I've been busy at the easel..working on a new Collage Piece. My very first in this particular theme. Exciting and fun doing something new and different.
Closing for now. As soon as I close out with you, I'm hittin' the sheets. Can't even feel the bottom of my feet.
Blessings, Love and Tuesday Sunshine, Terri

ReplyDeleteGood Evening Marydon Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteI love your bottle. You did a beautiful job. I never would have known it did not come from the checkbook. You are getting GOOD. You will have to share your secret on that one. It is beautiful.
OMG what beauties you have installed. I love the chandelier, it is so beautiful. I can't wait to actually gaze for myself. And Harold was such a sweetie to hang it for you. It is exquisite Sweetie. I love it.
I can't wait to see the corbels and where they actually hang throughout the house. And those legs on the bar are just beautiful.
I love your Moma's precious box. Rebecca did such a beautiful job in bringing it to life for you. Your Moma would be so happy. Rebecca truly was given the gift to paint. I know she makes God smile as he watches her work.
Can you believe it? In 2 days I will be in the air, and at your house for supper. Yippeee, I can't wait. Lots of hugs and kisses when I arrive.
Have a great day tomorrow. I love you sweetie. BIG hugs and MUCH love, Your Lil Sis, Cherry Jelly
