This Beautiful Mosaic basket was made by Penny over at Lavender Hill Studio, we collaborated on the choice of colors and the finish on the basket, and after just one email she showed me the plates she would use for the design and I flew that email back with a : "Yes!, Perfect" :)!! Her talents are amazing !! Thank you so much Penny for such beautiful work! I will treasure it always!
This is a better shot below of the detail in the mosaic's... and the gorgeous pattern she created!
I'm just starting to contemplate my Christmas decorations this year, I've had these mini topiary's for a few years and will probably light them with little white lights, or maybe some gingham bows, what do you think? Its my kitchen table so it's gonna need some charm ;) and the chandelier was an old find that I spray painted Bronze last year. The shades I bought at a craft store for $1.00 each and covered them with fabric and trim. It was a whole lot less expensive than the $25.00 a piece I was eyeballing before I decided to make them, lol....The day after Thanksgiving is Christmas decorating day for me and then this chandelier will be adorned to the max! :)
Here's a closer shot below of the fabric shades, just some left over fabric , some trim and a glue gun! wah-la ... :)
Well, I'm off to go start baking! If there are a few things I can get done before Thanksgiving day itself, I do! The less stress that day the better, and who better to inspire the baker in me than Jenny's Bake Shop!, I got these little ornaments from her collection, as you probably know by now, her Vintage bakery themes are a little addiction of mine :) and......lol....they have glitter, need I say more? :)
And last but not least, I hope you all have a beautiful , cozy and yummy Thanksgiving!!

Much love and Thanks , ~ Cynthia ~
