~New listings!~

As promised I'll be posting new listings here. And, don't forget, if you see something you like but want it "tweaked" just a little bit (you know, a special order), please don't hestitate to ask. I love a creating challenge!

"Lilies of the Field" a tote

Art Fire

$15      

A sweet canvas tote embellished with one of my very own photos. Across the top is printed a verse from Matthew 25 about the lilies of the field. Embellishing the upper edges you'll find a cheery ribbon and co-ordinating ric rac. Grouped at each corner are vintage buttons and lovely paper flowers adorn the center. Please spot clean only!

"Cherish" a birthday memory box

Art Fire

$11.00

(other variations also found at "Lola Rue" downtown Bloomington)

I love to say this is perfect for those who want a way to easily save memories from a special day without having to worry about scrapbooking. The outside of this vintage cigar box is covered with a cheery red heavy duty scrapbook paper, trimmed in vintage ribbon and centered around a gorgeous vintage postcard from early 1900s. Inside when you open the lid you'll see a sweet birthday fairy collaged on the inner lid and the base is lined with felt and sprinkeld with fairy dust. What a sweet way to savor those birthday pictures, cards, candles, flower petals or other small trinkets

~Faith Bottles~

"All That Leads a Heart to Knowing"

Art Fire

$ 30.00

Quantity: 1

A vintage bottle is carefully adorned with a mix of fibers, some simple and some ornate. The closer we get to the heart the simpler things become. All fibers are affixed with layers of encaustic wax medium. Added on are vintage scraps reflecting upon what leads a heart to knowing... further embellished with a brass word tag reading "inspire" topped off with some simple, yet elegant, beadwork.

Inspiration / Story behind this Product:

When I opened up the box of bottles I won at auction I discovered this little bottle with a heart already affixed. No matter what I tried I could not remove the heart. While looking and thinking I realized this is much like faith... our heart must be rooted and grounded. However, even the most stalwart human heart is not forever fixed, only one heart is that strong. That heart lay within humble "wrappings" but the heart itself was the heart most worth knowing.

 

 

"King of Kings"

Art Fire

$ 30.00
Quantity: 1


A lovely vintage bottle layered with cloth and encaustic wax medium. Embellishments include scraps from a vintage book of poetry, crushed silk ribbon, a vintage crown brooch, word tag, and lovely glass bead.

Inspiration / Story behind this Product:

Upon bringing home a lot of jewerly purchased at auction I found the crown brooch used on this piece. I knew something special had to be created and set it aside waiting for inspiration. After purchasing cloth for another project I dumped it all in a pile and saw the possibilty of a royal setting... the only king I know deserving of such is the King of Heaven.

Hope you enjoy these latest listings!
