The Snow

The snow, in bitter cold,

Fell all the night;

And we awoke to see

The garden white.

And still the silvery flakes

Go whirling by,

White feathers fluttering

From a gray sky.

Beyond the gate, soft feet

In silence go,

Beyond the frosted pane.

White shines the snow.

Primitive Portrait Soldered Glass Charm

In the spirit of Christmas giving, I will include one of my 7 inch Ladye Sarah Dolls with any purchase over $20.oo from now till December 24!

I really liked the way this piece turned out and because of it's size 3 inch diameter it is quite versatile in decorating. The portrait is sealed between to large glass bevels, featuring a lovely initial in script on the backside. The piece is soldered and hung from a tattered muslin ribbon. These large charms look pretty hanging just about anywhere. This piece comes boxed. If you wish to purchase the wreath as well please add an additional 4.00. This Charm is available in the shop, for last minute holiday touches or to celebrate the upcoming Yule season.

While visiting the website of www.tashatudor.com I viewed the wonderful notes and pictures that were added of her Memory Service. I was happy to learn that the family plans to create a museum based on her lifestyle and works. I have collected many of her wonderful books over the past years, every season I put out different books on my book case, right now I am looking at the Doll's Christmas, it is a very cute story one of my favourites. I was so happy to see this little Dove cookie cutter on the website, I just may treat myself to one and bake up some Tasha's famous cookies to adorn my tree this year.

Ballet Theater

This sweet little shadow box is made from a 18th woodcut image of a lady dancing, she reminds me of a little SugarPlum Fairy Dancer so I made a shadow box in the holiday theme. I had to take so many pictures to try to catch the sparkles and the glowing light inside. The size of the box is 3 inch by 3 inch the inside is covered in vintage book papers, her little stage is set with silver glittered curtains and this little theater has it's own little flicker light you can turn off and on, this sets the stage for a beautiful ballet. I have hung this little theater from blue ribbon topped with a silver glittered snowflake. She is now available in my shop today. Each shadowbox comes wrapped in a lovely way.
