Four beauties! What can be saved will be saved, and what can't will be turned into something else!

Barn Sale Saturday
Unfortunately, there aren't many open areas left in the area where I live, hence there are not many barns, hence not many barn sales. But the farthest reaches in Clayton, CA was my destination this sunny, warm morning:

Workbench Wednesday ~ You Gotta Have Heart
Although the January sale at Room With A Past is over (sorry if you missed it!) I'd like to share a creation I put in my spot for my Valentine's theme (the next opening will be Feb 16 - 19th--after Valentine's Day!)
I made this wire form about a year ago, and it was hanging around out in my garden. I stuffed it with tulle, added a tulle skirt, and a pair of wings and presto change-o, she's ready to be the belle of the Valentine Ball!
What have YOU been working on? Please share with a comment!

Gallery Concord Opening
What light from yonder window (in the fabulous Masonic Hall, built in 1927!) breaks?
Let's take a peek. It looks like it might be something fun, interesting and different!
Of course it is--it's Gallery Concord, in Concord, CA. They are currently hosting their "Winter Spectrum" series starting out with "Serenity", which includes mostly watercolors, (with a few other mediums thrown in to keep it interesting!) done by mostly local artists.
The opening night/artist reception was last night, January 6th. There was a great turn out, and we all enjoyed noshing on homemade tidbits & wine as we moved among the paintings, quilted fiber arts, 3-D sculpture, and print cards as the Dana Street Jazz Trio played on...
All these sculptures were made by my pal, artist Susan Shore of Point Richmond, CA.
I, a self-proclaimed lover all all things junky, find her pieces highly intriguing because of the found objects she incorporates within them. But this one is my favorite:
The show continues through March 25th. Admission is free but donations won't be turned down!

Post Christmas Sparkle To Start The New Year
Have you met the wonderfully talented Kerstie Pederson? If not, pop on over! If you have, then seeing something as cute as this posted on her blog will not be a surprise to you:
(look--it's PINK!)
But what will surprise you is that she had a giveaway and guess who won?!?!? ME! Look what was hand-delivered just the other day:
A sparkly white church all aglow, with some little deer, trees and extra vintage flowers to have in the Spring! I can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

Merry LITTLE Christmas
It takes a village.
I love to set up my winter village. It takes up some prime real estate in the living room of my tiny little pink house for a few weeks and then it's gone, so I really enjoy it every day! The Barclay lead figures are constantly being re-arranged.
Let's see what's going on today, shall we?
Looks like the twins are bundled up and getting a ride through the snow drifts that have been building up over by the church.
On the frozen pond in the town square, I see the youth are practicing their moves. Looks like the perfect weather for a sleigh ride through the town for the young-at-heart, too.
That dapper young lad in blue is trying hard to impress his lass who watches from the sidelines!
Oh look! Someone built a snowman!
And there's the matching set to the twins we spied earlier, also heading into the town square via sled.
Let's see what's happening on the hill.
Great day for a ski run, but watch that drop, would ya?
A private rink is a favorite special place that warms the heart of these two love-birds as they skate circles around a decorated tree.
And overseeing it all are the birds in the branches who serenade us with a cheerful "Merry Christmas"!

Workbench Wednesday ~ Hand Made and Delivered
Just got back from Alexandria, LA.
I needed to go. It's not just the Sportsman's Paradise, it's MY paradise. It's gorgeous, the people are like no other and it is home to my oldest sister.
It was her birthday, too! So I was able to see her open her gift--my first attempt at a shadow box soldered pendant:
I love you, Mo!
