happy new year to all !!!

this blog is about my trails and tribulations..

mostly about my travels...

but...cold, snow, winter..

not my traveling time..

 - - 

so i am going to take some time to show you what i do...

you know i travel to fleas 

and you know i sell at shows...

but do you know what i make ?

i am going to feature each of my designs

in the next few weeks

just so you know what it's all about 

one of my favorite items

are

 

 bubbles

we have

dictionary bubbles

we'll use any word you desire

cut from vintage recycled dictionaries 

- - - 
 

we have

music bubbles

 clipped from vintage recycled

hymnals and children's music books

- - - 
 

 we have 

number bubbles

 also clipped from hymnals

i just love the old fonts !

- - -

 

and we even have 

sign language bubbles 

"finger spelling'

  these also come from vintage dictionaries

 - - -

our bubbles are small

about the size of a dime

 

they are perfectly round

and

then come with a 24" ball chain

so..next time you need a gift..

think of a word that describes your friend, 

perhaps..a lucky number..

or even a 'finger spelling' letter..

how unique is that ???      

or just pick one up for yourself !

gratitude all around

gone above and beyond on the 

'understanding' front this year....
