"watchfulls"

 I have been busy filling an order from the Fayetteville Art Walk, 

and having way too much fun seeing what I can fill inside these little watch casings.

I begin with some of my down-sized pictures,
which could possibly be of my logo, 

 or perhaps a shot I took at Warrenton 

(there are so many to choose from)

of the antique doll that I Love!  

 There is also a picture I use of a true Texas longhorn taken during the same festival trip,

on a back road outside of nearby Burton, Texas.

And, I always have to include a vintage bird nest in the mix.  

You know, nesting just comes natural for me, like most women, 

I do believe =)

Next, I will add a single word.  

Sometimes it is vintage text...sometimes not.

But, one simple word is all that is needed.

This one rings true for alot of us, as we ARE the queen of our nests. 

You know, behind every good king, there is a great queen!

 I have always liked pink.  Sometimes not as much...

But, pink and blonde hair...well you get it.  

Needless to say, I've worn alot of pink in my days. 

I do like the way pink has been coming around, and it seems a great new shade of it shows up each season.

Last Thursday, I couldn't help it.  I had to stop in one of my two local antique shops.  

I hadn't been in there for a couple of weeks, so I'm so glad I did,

because this is what I found.

Two matching vintage jewelry boxes.  I can just see these sitting side by side at my vendor table, 

or at the next Art Walk.

And, when I opened them, this is what I saw inside.

Luscious, yummy, timeless pink satin with gold embossing.

Way cool!

Then, I also saw this retro Ultralite Samsonite.

Look at its gorgeous robin's egg blue interior. 

They all came home with me.....

especially since their prices were right.

Just in case you were wondering about that cute little bee inside the queen "watchfull",

you can still get a few of them from Jill.  

She has a limited supply here, 

but a new stock of little bees is waiting in the wings until the ones I have been using are all gone.

The newbies are way more dimensional!

 

I think I likey.

If you likey the "watchfulls", you can let me know here or email me.  

(Special requests may be considered).

Each one holds a little charm, vintage rhinestone or goodie inside.

They fly out the door for $28 + $4 shipping.
