My glass is half full. Is yours?

Yesterday, as usual, I went on the hunt for a Craft Fair and lo and behold, Amy, Izzy and I found one! Hurrah! This week it was at Woburn and I thought I would share with you my favourite stand from the fair.

L J Boy Stained Glass was by far the most beautiful stall with a range of handcrafted glass products ranging from coasters to cuff links and everything in between (please comment if you would contact details of this vendor).

Whilst at the stand, I was like a kid in a sweet shop and ended up buying the A-MAZING coaster, pictured above, for £5 (wishing I had bought more now grrr), a very cute blue star and an equally cute green star for £3 each and a long purply/bluey type hanging jobby (another technical phrase there). I am so besotted with my shiny gems that I shall be posting the pictures below.

I was told by the lady who ran the stall that the little £3 stars, which I thought was a very reasonable price by the by, actually have a different type of glass in each of the 5 triangle sections- Wowza!

If ever you have the opportunity to visit this craft stand, do it! You wont regret it :)

.....and one for the little boy who lived down the lane

Once again, not very beads or buttons but definitely a sprinkle of glitter.

On my regular Sunday Sparkle day (more on that later), we parked a little out of the village and I was filled with glee when I saw what road we were parked on. Issobelle was tickled by it too.

Hope you're weekend was filled with as much glee as "Duck Lane" was as we walked down it.

T Time

Way back when Little Sister and I did our glitter hand print canvass, I let her loose with a mini canvass and some gold glitter. Naturally (sorry Tiyana!) she messed it up, despite her good intentions, and it became a pink canvass with a funny almost star shaped glitter splodge.

"Waste not, want not!", I hear you cry! Well boys and girls, waste I did not!

I smothered (mmm lovely word is "smothered") the pink part of the canvass in PVA and covered with gold glitter, so the odd looking splodge was a thing of the past. Once this had dried, I roughly covered the edges in black glitter to conceal the pink perimeter and give a bit on an edge to the canvass. An edge on the edge haha.

Then, as a centrepiece, I cut out a card "T", black glittered it and placed it in the middle. Super!

Maybe one day I'll get round to the "iyana" to her "T".
