Mini Planters For The Kitchen Window Sill...



Oh how I wish I had sills in my kitchen with depth.
But no - they are a mere 8cm wide.  
That is not even three and a half inches!
I see all these wonderful ideas for decorating the kitchen sills...
But I have never found anything, or any idea that will fit.
Of course a skinny vase, jug or bottle will. 
But they have all visited the been there done that basket!
Today I was at 'The Warehouse' store,
 where I found these cute little glass ceramic pots.
Nice shape and the perfect size for the window sill!
$5 each, marked down to $4, then $1.14.
Took them up to the counter and they were only 23 cents each!!!
What???   A whole 69 cents for the three cute pots!
Now that would have to be the bargain of the century don't you think?
So off I went to Mitre 10.
And purchased three mini pot plants.
The little plant pots were a perfect fit for the cute pots.
Total cost for the Kitchen Window Sill makeover - $9.60!

And I LOVE the look.
Crisp clean, and green!

Look What's Been Happening In The Studio...



It has been a super crazy time in the art studio...
prepping for upcoming exhibitions I'm participating in...
creating  work for a fundraising exhibition...
and then completely wandering off task and painting flowers...
and watercolour ink birds!
Plus there's been a few competition paintings done.
(which I can't show you yet because it's secret squirrel stuff!)
Too many ideas...too much to create.
Both in the art world and the blogging world!
Yes - I admit it - I am a prolific painter!!!
If you didn't know - I'm in the studio painting four days a week,
with a few hours each day blogging.
Usually I have one blogger's day a week - when I create 'other' things.
It's busy - but I love what I do!
And I love sharing with you all.  :)




My NEW 'OLD' Book...

I love books...
So I just had to share the latest in my collection.
A childhood dream was to become a librarian!
I never did do that,
 but I still LOVE books.
I love reading,
looking at...
collecting...
and using books in crafts and DIY.
(this one's safe though - as it has the 'I'm special' label).

This book is so old.

Published in 1905 in fact.
It's worn, tatty and tired.
But for me it was love at first sight!
Just look at the gorgeous green embossed cover.
It is a beautiful book.

'Good Words' is full of short stories.
And wonderful black and white plates (pictures).
Here are a few:




But the one I adore the most is of the girl with the dreamy eyes.
Beautiful, don't you think?
