Coffee corset!

These are so cute! I am expecting a lovely new coffee corset from the fabulous JennGee of Etsy. Go see her and get your own corset.

Can you just picture me on a chilly winter morning walking to work with a wooly scarf looped around my neck and my coffee wrapped in it's own lovely jacket?

The new issue of Adorn is here

And this one has some great projects. I love the Russian-inspired bead adorned lace choker (made with purchased lace insets) and the Vegas projects. I have to tell Libby about the Vegas chic. She loves Vegas, especially O'Shay's casino and the free drinks. I think she likes all the shiny lights, too.

The Adorn mag site isn't up-to-date but check it out if you want. They also have a blog.

New Art Glass

Just in from David Christiansen, this lovely, Made In The USA art glass is on the counter at Ornamentea. In a big dish, it looks like that ribbon candy that your great aunt had in that crystal bowl in the living room that you were not supposed to touch. Remember how that bowl was always there, filled with that candy. Geeze, how did she do it? If you had had the bowl all to yourself for just a few minutes it sure wouldn't have been so full, huh?

David is a pro, he and his staff of "ex-cons, in-laws and out-laws"* make the most beautiful glass. The colors are intense and beautiful.

*this is a direct quote from David. I really don't know his peeps.
