I have a dresser that I plan to renovate, and I think it would be cool to find some knobs like these. I need 8 of them, however there are only 4 of these. They're so very pretty though.

These are so pretty/springy. I need to figure out how to make daisies. Tasty.

I nice very long tinsel garland. Mmmm. I love the color.

{Tues/Wed: Artist+Photographer+Etsian---Marilyn Healey}

Well, yesterday went like a flash, and I realized really, really late last night that I hadn't posted anything for the days topic, however I was just bushed enough not to want to assemble another article. So today I thought I would do a little of both topics.
This artist/photographer/etsian is Marilyn Healey.
I stumbled across her lovely little etsy shop last year: { www.MemrieMare.etsy.com }.
She also has a blog { http://marilynhealey.blogspot.com/ }
and a flickr page: { http://www.flickr.com/photos/memriemare/ }
I'm not sure what all she has done professionally, but I know that her work has been featured in the Somerset publications.

Pretty.

I have one of her handmade flowers. I attached it to a cream coloured paper lantern hanging in my craft corner.

Pretty vintagy trims. She used my little roses on the middle tag. :):):):)

More lovely tags. She used my posies on these too.

Another very pretty handmade flower.

Christmas Tree a la downstairs

This is the tree for the living room: It is a fir tree (live).

Our house cats favor the real trees over the faux ones. Gives the house that good wild, woodsy feeling.

I decorated this one in red and gold glass ornaments, jingle bells, vintage postcards, and paper cones filled with chocolates. And of course loads of tinsel.
