I am sitting here with a cup of Constant Comment tea,

warming myself on a little break

before heading back upstairs

to work on a project

on this winter

afternoon.

It involves my fabulous weekend find

from Craigslist and doing a tromp l'oeil painting.

Details and photos in my next post if all goes well.

What projects are you inspired about this month?

I'm realizing I have a thing for glass, mirrors, crystals,

and silver that shines!

What makes your heart skip a beat?

Reflect Sparkle Illuminate

A Most Amazing Chandelier

captured my attention in a shop this week

The bronzy-pinkish crystals were fabulous!

This one was in an antique mall

Those purple crystals! Gasp!

-

And in another high-end antique shop

this huge one with PINK crystals really made my eyes light up!

A mere $25,000, should you be interested.

-

These lovely cloche's were in a shop. So sparkly!

... They sat upon a mirrored table, everything was so reflective...

-

This seashell filled crystal bowl sits upon my desk

-

The other morning as I was leaving the room

I looked back and the crystals were sparkling

so wondrously from the morning light, I had to grab my camera.

What could be more summery in accessories

than aqua, turquoise and sea green beads

with a golden rhinestone-studded

S T A R F I S H

as a necklace?

Is "SPARKLE" a decorating style?

... More Sparkle ....

Highlights and Shadows and Sparkle

Are you a lover of sparkle?

Does glitter make your heart sing?

-

What is it about LIGHT that sparks hope in our souls?

-

The very first words whispered ~ or shouted with joy ~

by God over our world were these:

~ "Let There Be Light" ~

Genesis 1:3

-

(And it was GOOD)

-

... let it sparkle on in our homes and lives ...

(... and on our clothes and jewelry and art and hopefully on this weekend! )
