Winter Wonderland...

                I don't know if this is Happy Silver Sunday
                or Happy that the week is over.

                I have power today for the first time in six
                days.  For Oklahoma this has been devastating.

                I am calling this my Silver Sunday.
                I am so tired I don't know what to do.
                I can't wait to get in my own bed tonight.

                Thanks for stopping by and thank you
                Gypsy  Lady Beth.

This is ice...lots of it.

Thanks for listening...julie

Happy Silver Sunday and I want to go Home...

      I am only 50 miles
     from home and the ice has devastated my city.  My daughter
     says the electricity went out on Thurs. and is still off.  I
     guess my back yard looks like a battlefield.  So many broken
     limbs from all the trees.  I dread seeing it.  I have to go home
    Monday morning for a funeral, so I am keeping my fingers crossed
    that I will have lights and heat.

    Please forgive my terrible spacing..I just must go to bed...xoxoxo

     On a more cheerful note I would like to say Thank You 
     to everyones lovely comments.  I am looking forward
     to a much better week.  Click on the button to the right
     and visit , visit, visit.                                                                 
                                                                                   

Thanks Lady Gypsy...julie

A Little Crown For A Sweet Young Lady...

My first crown.  I love the way it turned out.

It is for a special young lady's birthday...

Happy Birthday Anna...

OoOoOoOhLaLa........

     It's Silver Sunday once again.
     My goodness how time slips away.

     I decided to do my silver a little
     early this week, so I can visit a few
     more silver sites.

Be sure and stop by @http://thegypsyfish.blogspot.com  and
see the list of all the participants to visit ...

My mother's compact.  It is a wood veneer

slightly chipping, but still in great shape.

I think this went back to her teenage

years in the 30's.

Isn't the design on the silver pretty...

                       The lipstick. I can just see her using her
                        little finger to color her lips.                                               

It still smells like powder...

How do you like the tarnish on this.......

Have a great weekend.  See you next week.

Thanks, Beth...julie

Silver Sunday...

                                                       Silver Sunday
            I hope everyone has had a good week.

            Mine has been busy and a little
                  different than usual...

             I have a few pretty silver pieces to
              share.  Hope you enjoy...

             Be sure and try to visit some of the
             other blogs that are paticipating.    

A Christmas gift this year.  Love that Mercury glass.

My grandmother's cut glass salad bowl with a serving fork and

spoon.  They are labeled sterling.  They are also tarnished,

but the goldish part is that tone when they are polished.

The engraving does not show in the picture, but there is an "M" up

close to the top of the handle.

Have a great weekend.  See you next Sunday...julie

Thanks Beth...you know how to have a party...

I got up this morning with good intentions.  So far so good.
I have so many projects to do, that I just wistfully ponder them all the time.  Time to get on it.
Here is what is on the agenda.



A crown for a 10 yr old's birthday next week.
Glass tile project behind my new range and over the sink.  (already started).  And glass tile on bathroom vanity.
Work on my studio again and again and again!!!!!  It is the thrill of the hunt you know.  Of course you do.
Do some rearranging in the house.
Beginning to feel better already!!!
Continue to figure Photoshop out.
Start making a list of springtime things that need to be done outside.
Of course this won't be attempted all in one day.



My mind goes at such a rate of speed I can't keep up with it.  But the body has to take breaks.
Of course this list is so minor in length.  Maybe it won't be so overwhelming.  I will give progress updates.  See now I have to do it!!!  Have a great weekend...julie

                                     Silver Sunday #2

                 Thank you Beth at gypsy fish journal
                 for being such a great hostess.  I can
                 not believe the list of participants is so   
                 long. Much more fun for all.

                 Everyone be sure and pop over and 
                 visit all the others.  Just click on the button 
                 to the left.  Have fun everyone...julie      
                                        

The bird has a vase on his back that has the little silk flowers in it.

  The cut glass piece just to its right was my grandmothers.  I used to

keep the lid polished all the time.  But, what can I say, I don't do

that anymore      

     My daughter gave me this little crown for Christmas.  It is not attached
     to the crown underneath it.  It is so delightful.
     She does know the things I love.

                               Just a pretty little pin in my little fantasy world corner
