Button Bird

Good morning all,

Did  you know that buttons were first used as decorations for clothing? It wasn't until about  the 1200's that they were used as fasteners. 2012 they are used as an art medium. Some suggested I bring out the eye more, I like it that you have to study the piece to find the eye (and feet!). Just like all the zippers at the shop, there are plenty around so I like to use them where I can. I'm not done yet so stay tuned and have a happy, happy week!

Framed

Good morning all,

I actually did this project las year, but still think it's a winner. I got rid of our headboard years ago to save a few inches space. I had a bunch of frames from last remodel and started scanning photos of Dennis and me with which to fill the frames. I realized I didn't have enough so I bought a few at 50% off and kept scanning a printing. I eventually had enough and laid them out. When I was satisfied I started nailing them right to the wall. This way they wouldn't fall off if you hit them a night. I love the way it looks and I was able to use some old stuff and save some money and space. Love to hear your thoughts always! Happy, happy week!

And Then There Was Light

Good morning all,

I saw something like this on the internet the other week and just had to try if for myself. Quite time consuming, but worth it. I picked up the lamp at Sally's, cleaned it up and proceeded to glue pressed fabric folded side down onto the shade. Beautiful! It and many other Greenpurse creations are available at the store. Happy, happy week!

He is Risen

Good morning all,

Wishing everyone a Blessed Easter and happy, happy week!

Debut

Good  morning all,

Zippy the Chimp finally makes his way on the scene, just hangin' around the store relaxing on a crate and what perfect timing...April Fools Day! However, Zippy is no joke. He is a real sock money with a real working zipper mouth. Perfect for holding that first lost tooth, tissue or secret something. Stay tuned, Zippy will soon be getting a family, maybe with a dog or cat! Enjoy your Palm Sunday. Happy, happy week!
