Etsy and the Shabby Chic Teapot

I've been selling on Etsy for awhile now and have really enjoyed all the interactions with everyone.  Being able to share my work, even if not sold, has been quite rewarding.  There have been some lovely comments from people all over the world and the Etsy world has broadened my awareness and appreciation of what other people are dreaming up and creating to share.

Collecting Cabochons

A cabochon is basically a flat backed piece, usually a gemstone of some kind but it's a termed used

  most readily to describe something with a flat back.  The furniture appliques I make all have flat

 

backs, so technically they are cabochons but usually when i'm referring to a cabochon I mean the

 

smaller pieces I create that are the basis of my pins, brooches, pendants, magnets and decoration on  

plates, boxes, jars and mirrors.

These little works of art and just such a joy to have and hold.  Each one is an intricate little bouquet.   

The layers of glaze give them a smooth finish that enhances all the details.  Sometimes I make baskets of roses, sometimes just groupings.  Recently I've been making Tussy Mussies.  Some I think will have a nice felt background and ribbon to created a very unique shabby chic ornament.

Adding a little bunch of roses here and there can brighten your day, I hope you order one just to see how sweet they are.

Pushpin Thumbtacks

I made these cute little thumbtacks so even a note board could have a little Shabby Chic Style

DIY Hanging Basket EASY

This has got to be one of the cutest and simplest DIY projects ever!

DIY Finial planter

I bought two PVC fence finials, drilled a small hole in the bottom for drainage, planted my flowers and added string as a hanger.

PVC Planter EASY DIY

I love it and I think the white finial looks fantastic with my white DIY PVC lattice fence:)

Cottage Decor

Can anything in cottage decorating be better than lace and roses........No, I didn't think so.  

 With that in mind I've recently completed this cute filigree plate, painted white (of course) adorned with a beveled mirror and completed with my handmade pink roses (of course):)

I really love this but I think the hardest thing for me to do is to put things up for sale on Ebay. 

Hope you like it too!

Wedding Bridesmaid Gifts

While I was working on a few new rose pieces, I realized that I completely left out the Wedding.  It seems such an obvious focus but I ended up focusing designing new furniture appliques instead of what is most recognized Rose thing. 

Wouldn't these make beautiful little gift boxes for your attendants.......made in the color of your wedding, of course.  These are done in a more shabby style, but imagine them in nice crisp colors with a gorgeous shiny sheen.

Etsy is all about CreatingCottage

Multi-colored Roses

I have been making a bunch of white only furniture appliques, and maybe it was that or maybe it was all the white snow on the ground, but I had need to do something with color.  

Here's what I made.......
