A nifty package arrived here this week... My mom sent me the remainders of the silverware my Nana had in her home all while I was growing up. I had found a spoon in that pattern years ago in a thrift store, and immediately recognised it. The patient faithfulness of inanimate objects is one of my constant fascinations; with these few forks and spoons, I use the same ones that her hands held as a young bride in the twenties. And though the box was nowhere near full, the box itself was so lovely, mauve painted wood with at stenciled laurel wreath on the top in gold and white, very much an artifact of its time, now to find a new life here in my own time and home...≈ : ♥ : ≈
The glass tiles that I ordered from Modwalls came today, only four days after I placed the order. The colors are great, (walnut and aubergine), but the tiles are a lot thinner than the other glass tiles I already had (shades of pale blue). Ummm, I guess that means I will need to figure out the "indirect" method of mosaic, which is a way to set tiles that are different thickness so they end up a smooth level surface. Should be possible, the needed sections are fairly small. Lots of library research in my future the next few weeks...≈ : ♥ : ≈
