Chandelier Creativity.

Everyday I scour the net and magazines looking for something new and exciting. Well girls, I think I found something. When I flipped through my new Traditional Home magazine and found this Turquoise baby, I was intrigued. My mind was flooded with ideas of using all the other varieties of stones available, even beads for jewelry, oh my gosh, endless possibilities.

Enjoy, Heidi

Turquoise Empire Chandelier by Marjorie Skouras Designs.

I have loved this Abalone Chandelier from Anthropologie for a while now.

Saw this Spoondelier at an Antique show, thought it was brilliant.

Then I saw it on the Curious Sofa's blog. Then I saw it on Anthropologie's site. Clever.

Spoondelier is catching on and getting more sophisticated as in this design by Fabbian Lighting.

Zanfirico Canne work

Micah and I have been working on making zanfirico canne. This last Saturday was our 2nd try at it. Then we wanted to get enough to make a "lace" handkerchief bowl. Recently Marty Lockstone came by the restaurant, saw the glass and gave me a call. Marty is from Weatherford and we knew each other back in high school. He graduated a year before me at Weatherford. He wanted to know if he could come and watch us blow glass. He came over Saturday and was good help. He helped us pull canne and helped us with the zanfirico bowl. It's been nice to get reacquainted. Here's some photos of the canne, the bowl and of a vase we have been trying to pull off. It's blue, about 13 1/2" tall with a yellow coil around it.

Black and White.

I just can't seem to get enough of Black and White. Enjoy, Heidi

Skona Hem

I love Skona Hem, it is a Swedish website that translates to, Spare Homes. I thought I would show you one pic at a time every now and then but I decided to just show you them all at once. There is no such thing as too much of a good thing. Happy Fall! Enjoy, Heidi

Practical Magic

I do believe I have found my dream house. This house is just a movie prop, hard to believe. It is a shell and was built on a park land in Washington State, after the movie "Practical Magic" was shot, Warner Bros. tried to sell it and have it moved off but no one bought it. It was torn down and the park was restored to it's previous state. I saw the movie and fell in love, then I saw the house featured in Victoria Magazine and stored away the pictures in my dream file. So the House has resurfaced again this time to be shared on my blog and just in time for Halloween. Enjoy, Heidi
