Valentine Gifts

I'm going to do some shameless self promotion here and direct all of you who are shopping for a Valentine's gift to Ye Olde State Bank Treasures & Antiques at 207 N. Main, Norwich KS. The hours have changed since my review, they're now open Tue - Fri: 1:00 pm - 6:00 pm & Sat: 6:00 am - 6:00 pm. Among all their wonderful treasures & antiques you can find items crafted by moi.

In the picture below you will see the lace display votive holders with pictures on display. At the store I have replaced these with prints of vintage Valentines. Also at the store you will find the lacy jars with the chalkboard labels to store your favorite goodies or maybe to collect coins for a special vacation or charity. Write whatever you want and change it on a whim. In the back on the lids are some fun magnets with pictures of animals, flowers and a variety of things enlarge under the flat marbles. The cake/cookie plates I don't have at the store, two them were made by and belong to granddaugters. I'll need to make more. The flower display is already spoken for, another item I need to make more of.

I've also made several prayer bracelets. These are all handmade from beads and wire. The first one is made for Nickel Silver wire, Job's Tears and glass lamp beads.




Next is Nickel Silver wire, Job's Tears and goldtone beads, medal and cross.



The next is a real beauty, it's made for Gold-filled wire and has Goldleaf medal and cross. The beads are cut crystal, aurora borealis and Job's tears.



This one is a Lourdes chaplet with Nickel Silver wire, glass Robin's egg beads, cut glass Our Father and aluminum(?) Lourdes medal.



Finally Pretty in Pink, Nickel Silver wire, Silver plated medal and ceramic fish Our Father.



I've also made a copper ring with a Job' Tear, but it's not at the store.
If you see something that interests you but can find no way to visit the store, which I REALLY recommend because there is SO much more there than just my crafts, you can contact me via my email in my profile info under About Me in the sidebar.
