FARMHOUSE BLUE

                                                   Be your own kind of beautiful!


So I've been excited to find lots of very cool stuff for my Etsy shop, Gwen And Alma's! I still find myself drawn to Farmhouse/Country Blue treasures. Blue just makes me smile!  But as you'll see in my Etsy store, I'm still open to picking up other things that jump out at me.

 
The blue slats in the background I purchased from a collector who said they had been truck bed slats. I have a spot where I could use them in my home, but right now I'm using them as a backdrop for photos.  Aacckkk! Too many shadows in these pictures!

Right now I'm watching "Dancing With The Stars" while I write this. I  don't believe in multi-tasking so I'm going to get off the computer and enjoy watching the dancers! Dancing also makes me smile!

Thanks for stopping by!

MOSAIC FOR JULY

                                                          A JULY MOSAIC FOR YOU

I love making mosaics! I love playing with putting colors together and how they look when the same colors are boldly put together in one space.

 When we have our Hob Nobber sales we generally set up vignettes arranging the same colors together, sometimes even if the treasures might not "go" together. I think it makes more of an impact and really shows off the treasures simply because of the color impact. We get a lot of nice compliments on the set up of our vignettes. But of course at each new event I try to make it even better.

  I used some of my favorite colors for this mosaic and wanted to depict the colors that are in nature ( sky, flowers, ocean ) and how we use them also in the things we make. The objects themselves don't "go" together but the colors are pleasing to the eye. It makes me smile.

REALLY NOTICE COLORS IN YOUR WORLD AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
