How are you with photos? Not just the taking of them, but the process after that follows it, you know the editing, cropping, color adjustments, deleting ( not unimportant!) and then finally the albums...

Let me tell you that I have been a bit tardy in this area, like by about 5/6 years, ok I'll be completely honest, I still have piles of photos in a box of our wedding...which happened in 2004. Oh yes...that long ago.

So here I am, day three of sorting. So far that's all I've done, just deleting, deleting and deleting of the digital era ones, and the odd rezoning of folders, but I haven't even come close to putting any in albums yet. For all the advantages of the digital era, that is definitely a disadvantage in my book; we just take WAY too MANY photos now! Most of which will never leave the comfort of your desktop, just sitting there...taking up space and cluttering the virtual world.

 As I am going through them, I end up daydreaming as many memories come flooding back to me, THAT is the beauty of so many photos as well... here are a couple:

 

 

 

Hi there,

So...it's been a while..I know..

Life got in the way a little, been having a bit of shoulder trouble, and consequently been concentrating on getting better instead of writing on my blog. But I am cautiously optimistic at the moment... got a new shot last week and am pain free! Let's just hope it'll last, fingers crossed.

Anyway enough about me, let me show you what I've been up to:

 

 I am so excited with the things in my shop at the moment. The traffic is picking up and customers are coming to me for custom pieces. If you have anything in mind, that you don't see available or would like a certain piece in a different colour, just drop me a line!

My favorite pieces are still these two ladies:

 Heavenly Hirani and Trixi Talulla

So far no one has snapped up these two ladies, what do you think it is? Should I brighten up their gorgeous brass frames? And if so, in which shade?

Hope you are enjoying the day, wherever you are

The great thing about my new venture is the never knowing what I might come across on my trips to find new stock for my Etsy shop. Look what I came across the other day:

Trixi and Hirani on Etsy

These two old girls are just lovely, aren't they? In really good condition, the brass frames are delicate and because I just couldn't decide whether or not I should customize them in a bright colour, I decided to put them online as is.

I think sometimes its important to let things be the way they are..not just upcycling for upcycling sake, what do you think?

Having said that...this little candle holder was just screaming PINK to me( it was a very dark brown before) it has really brought out all the details of this lovely little piece!

on Newfromnow soon..

If you are looking for a particular item you would like to see in my shop, let me know, and I will go on the hunt for you!

Have a great weekend.
