Yard sale find ..Peach colored pink glass is most well known for the patterns and pieces created and distributed during the depression era. But there has been pink glass made in that color, and others before and since. Not all pink glass is depression glass, only those pieces made during the depression are actually depression glass. One of the most popular current makers of colored glass dinnerware is Arcoroc of France.Set of 4,no chips,crazing,cracks. cottagefleamarket.etsy.com

Happy Pink Saturday and 'Christmas Memories'

2009-12-05T06:49:00.015-05:00

I wanted to share with my HPS family because currently there is nobody else in 3d land ! Latest from Santa's news room shipping goodies out...Cannot believe it! At 54yrs old my first gallery...I only wish I had more energy!

http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/pink-saturday/

My favorite Christmas memory was riding the Boston's B&M train at night into 'Boston's Jordan Marsh' to see the magical 'Enchanted Christmas Village' in their store window,Santa,the magical lights in the Boston Commons and the real reindeer.By the end of the evening tummy full of sweets,hot cocoa,..feeling like I was magically floating like a fresh gentle snowflake in the air.The ride home on the train with warm rosy cheeks from the cold,gently rocked into a blissful slumber by the trains lullaby.(Thankfully the village has been auctioned off to a local merchant.)

Happy Pink Saturday! Gift Tag Tutorial For You

2009-11-21T06:57:00.006-05:00

Happy Pink Thanksgiving to all!I call it Gratitude Day.. I am thankful for Bev hosting this heartwarming connection of like spirits. Here is a free tutorial for you all I am very grateful for HPS friends! xxoo

An Art Tag Tutorial

This is my first tutorial . I hope to share a lot of great information here.

Supplies

Find scraps in junk draws,yard sales,fleamarkets,church sales.

1. Tags

2. Glitter

3. Magazine Clippings

4. Type,Quotes,Letters,Words

5. Paper,Shabby Wallpaper Scraps,Old Greeting Cards

6. Fibers,Yarn,Ribbons,Lace

7. Buttons,Bead, and Bling

Tags- mailing tags of all sizes. You can find them at office supply stores in bulk. Wal-Mart also has some of the smaller sized tags, but not the big mailing tags.

Adhesive- Glue stick for paper.Use a glue gun for 3-D embellishments such as buttons,fabric,millinery. Mod Podge is also good for gluing paper.

Paper- Check out your local scrapbook/stamping store, Hobby Lobby, Michael's, etc. Be sure to look at the wonderful handmade, origami, wallpaper, and wrapping papers too .

Magazine Clippings- Perfect for a rainy day make clippings from old magazines. Victoria Magazine is my favorite for clippings. Flowers, people, words, letters, etc. Organized by subject in boxes.

Yarns, Fibers Ribbons, etc.- Use these to decorate your tags. I use yarns, ribbons, chenille yarn, silk ribbon, DMC cotton floss and other specialty embroidery flosses and yarn. Don't forget about other things, like strips of fabric and raffia.

Buttons,Beads and Bling- These are great embellishments for tags. Anything can be used to embellish you tag. Keys, buttons...let your imagination run and have fun!

A Poem for Gray Rainy Days Happy Pink Saturday

2009-07-25T06:47:00.014-04:00

http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com
I found this poem yesterday during our monsoon here in Massachusetts.I think this one is a keeper on gloomy days to warm my heart.

Silent Noon

Your hands lie open in the long fresh grass,--
The finger-points look through like rosy blooms:
Your eyes smile peace. The pasture gleams and glooms
'Neath billowing skies that scatter and amass.
All round our nest, far as the eye can pass,
Are golden kingcup-fields with silver edge
Where the cow-parsley skirts the hawthorn-hedge.
'Tis visible silence, still as the hour-glass.
Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragon-fly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky:--
So this wing'd hour is dropt to us from above.
Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,
This close-companioned inarticulate hour
When twofold silence was the song of love.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882)

"Somewhere in Time"

Happy Pink Saturday!
