A friend of mine made a plastic bag holder for me. I was really needing one to handle the bags that were multiplying in the cupboard. Only a quilter would make a plastic bag holder out of toile. I love it!
A new friend, who lives way up in Wisconsin, sent this to me.
She made this from a beautiful saucer and candlestick. I have seen a few of these around, and think they are such a clever way of using a piece of beautiful china that has lost it's mate. Great for candy or a candle, or whatever your hearts desire.
My youngest son ordered this online and had it sent to me. Isn't it just the prettiest little picture? I love Sandy Lynam Clough's artwork, and this one has the Bible verse from Proverbs 31:28.
Great job for a teen, huh?My oldest son took me out to dinner and then handed me an envelope with a lovely card. Inside the card was this -
The gift that keeps on giving. Need I say more?
Happy Belated Birthday. You son knowws you well I guess! What a thoughtful gift.
ReplyDeleteHi Jocelyn,
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled to see your comment on my blog and to know that you are interested in joining in the fun of Teacup Tuesdays. I will make sure I add you to my list and I will include a link to your beautiful blog in my Teacup Tuesday post next week. Can't wait to see your collection of teacups.
I love the pretty and very creative candlestick with the saucer on top that your friend sent you. You are right. That is a great way to repurpose something old into something new.
Hope you have a fabulous week!!
Kim
