A THRIFTY GET-TOGETHER

I made this little linen bag and decorated the edge with some of my crochet-work, and included another 3 pieces of crochet in a smaller size. The bag is resting on an old metal trivet along with 3 tiny books and a sparkly blue and white pin. All are thrift store finds, including the linen for the little bag.

A PERFECT SETTING FOR SPRING!

This old green bowl, some flowers, and maybe one of these colorful doilies I made, all together, would make a pretty tabletop arrangement.

SPRING COLORS

Wood Carving with a Yellow Flower

This wooden plaque is another of my favorite thrift store finds. I found it in a box of old picture frames.

The center is carved in a lovely honeycomb pattern. I use this plaque all the time as a base for teapots, vases of flowers, or pretty bowls. On the back is a stampmark "INDIA". A yellow flower I crocheted adds some color.

Home Is Where The Heart Is

Using "soft" colors for my crocheted edgings I fashioned a "heart" just to make you smile.

Spring Is Here

(Crochet) Chain Reaction

I'm on a crochet spree! Here is a lovely chain of crochet flowers, flowing out of an old silver plate and down to a cute little heart jewelry box. The heart is filled with pearls -- faux pearls, of course! How I wish they were real...
