kudzukween, So happy that i found this post. I like your idea. May i steal it and create something from nice old chandelier that i rescued from garbage. Lol. What paint did you use for this? Note: I am completely new to garden junk and all "chemistry" around painting, appliing something to make weatherproof, glueing.

One more cup idea .. lol ! Turn the cups on their sides, glue moss in them and then glue small birds in them. Hang pretty ribbons through the handles and hang them as ornaments. You'll need to place the birds or whatever you decide to put in them a little closer to the mouth of the cup to balance it when you hang them. I saw something similar in a magazine, only they used ceramic or resin dogs and cats in them without the moss .. AND they were selling for $15.00 a piece ! Susan

Laveta, don't ever, ever underestimate your talent,girl!!!! We are all here to enjoy each others creations, give each other encouragement and just have fun with good friends! I love your teacup with the crystals, that is very unique, way to go!!!And I'm like lamb, windows make my knees buckle, too!!! I really like the Fall colors you used on it. On your pricing question, I think someone has already said it, I've always heard to mark it up 3 times your cost plus time invested. So, good luck, trial and error sometimes has to be the deciding factor in some cases, unfortunately. Is that your shop in the background pictures, if it is... you are ONE LUCKY GAL!!! I love that whitewash look on the walls! Oh, and your corn gave me the neatest idea for a window valance for my kitchen window! So there, see how your creations have inspired me! Good luck with your sale, let us know how ya do!! blessings-sherri

I got a wonderful package from Luna Moon today. She sent me garden gloves, something I can always use. Peat pots for starting seeds, which she also sent several packages of. I love getting seeds & several of those were on my wanted list so I'm really excited about those. A pretty angel on a stake pot or garden marker. She is so pretty I'm using her on a pot indoors, where I will see her more often. Some wonderful smelling soothing bath salts. I can't wait to use those. A yummy chocolate bunny & jelly belly beans. A beautiful BIG tea cup & saucer with the prettiest purple iris on it. Not sure exactly what it is but I'm going to use it for a candle holder since I have one bedroon decorated in purple. I think it can be used as a small planter or bird feeder also. Thank you so much for your nice gifts. You got my week off to a great start.
