A wonderful photograph I found for you
at Antique Griffin the other day ~
Who would have ever thought that I would love rusty things ~
crusty old windows ~
or even pistachio shells??
Yes. Pistachio shells!
Today a little mail love arrived....
Hand painted pistachio shells that look just like teeny tiny bird eggs!!!
Sweet Sandy of Quill Cottage painted these and gifted them to me.
Can you believe how gorgeous and realistic they look??
Thank you so much Miss Sandy ~ I love them so much!
Each one is a little piece of art...

The rusty? A few more goodies I found at Antique Griffin
while I was putting things in my space...
I was joking with the owner telling them they get us
coming and going....first rent, then buying goodies every time we come in!
Just something I want to show you.
A precious doll coat Deborah gave me....
cinched with lace and old watch cases ~
it's so beautiful to me.
And the crusty old window?
Here it is finished, ready to go to the antique mall ~
Simple, understated and hopefully it will look well with
several different styles of decorating....

Dawn, I can't believe how beautiful your finished window looks! Those little pistachio shells are adorable...so many cool things in this post. If your readers are interested, I just posted about yoyo quilt flowers inspired by Flea Market Style magazine, on my blog. They are so easy to make, I know some of your readers will want to try them this weekend!
Hi Dawn!

Those painted pistachio shells are really amazing. I saw them on her blog a while ago and thought they were just stunning. Nice rusties, too.
Those pistachio eggs are incredible! Sandy does such beautiful work. Have fun with your friend!

I cannot believe those eggs are pistachio shells! So pretty! What a great idea! I bet you were thrilled when you saw them! I may have to try this one for myself! This would add a nice touch to anyone's Easter decorations!
Have a nice day!
Your blog is the only one I read everyday. I mean the mind (my mind) can only take in so much at a time- and then the wheels start turning-
Hey friend,
Where to begin....first of all the painted shells, brilliant! I am in love with that simple idea. She did them perfectly too. Just last week you were talking about not being able to find the robins egg blue eggs.There you go. Then I have to tell you how jealous I am that you get to hang with Cheryl. She is one of my very favorites. Say hi for me. The little box of rusty goodness is making me want to reach into my computer screen & snatch them. Girl, you find the BEST stuff! Those will be perfect in your assemblages. Well, I'm off to find those give-aways. Have a great day. Lisa
Hi Dawn... That lamp shade is intriguing... Love the little shells... so sweet...
Hello Miss D. Thank you for posting about my giveaway. You always bless.
Those little eggs are amazing. And, I'm right there with you...loving the crusty, worn, beaten down stuff that too often ends up in the junkyard.
Love it all!
Thank you...thank you.
