One pin down, a million to go!

  I have been pretty busy lately in my shop, which is great! I broke my previous record of 5 sales in one month to 8!! I really hope the numbers keep going up! So it has been awhile since I've posted, but I wanted to share something. My husband and I had our traditional 4th of July party this year, and I decided it was time to clear a couple pins off my Pinterest board. There are a ton of them!! You may know the feeling!

  So I used a few decorating ideas which were cute in theory, but as for an outside party... not so functional... so, I won't bore you with those pics. But I also tried a new recipe, and that I HAVE to share!! These are AMAZING!! If you are someone that loves caramel apples, grapes, caramel, or cute appetizers... you may want to give these a try!! They are so easy!

The title was Crunchy Green Grapes  and all you do, is take your clean dry grapes, dip them in caramels melted with a little cream (I used regular 2%milk),  then dip them in finely chopped, salted peanuts. They are so addicting. Like little tiny caramel apples....but better..! So, if you try them I hope you love them as much as my family and I did!!

Treasury Time

  I just love this treasury!! I love the color, and feel. Those are my cute little tea cups sitting in the second row :-)

Spending this beautiful Friday in my studio. I'm working on a few orders, one custom order for a Chicago Bears pilsner... being from Michigan.. I may upset a few fans :-) I posted this glass on my Facebook page, and along a trail of "likes" I received an order for a Bears glass!

 I think its just amazing how my work can be seen by so many people by using Facebook, Etsy, Twitter, and even here on my blog! Though I don't get too many views here, it is still fun to do and hopefully someday will lead to more views! Maybe I just need to be more interesting...? I'll work on that :-)

Some new items!

  Summer school program started today... Oh how I wish I had more time off. I did add a few more items to my shop though! I also got a rush order for an engagement gift.. Ill have to share photos when I'm done with it. I have also spent a lot of time getting pieces together to start my upcycling projects... I can't wait to start those!!

 

  This is one glass I'm very excited about! I have always wanted to show some support for our troops! I really like how they turned out!

 

I've also added a new vintage item! These are so fun,I love them! The deep green color is amazing!

 

 

They were a hidden treasure in my Aunt's crawl space! I'm so glad they came my way! I split them into sets so I could keep a set for myself.That's the hard part with selling vintage... not keeping all your treasures for yourself!
