Sunday Treasures

 Yesterday was so much fun! My sister and I went to a vintage antique show.

There were lots of vendors with wonderful items. Many vendors created very artistic displays. I am so inspired!

The icing of the cake was this amazing hand craved St. Francis statue. It was love at first sight! The birds are hand craved and added on the statue. I do not know the artist name as they wrote on the bottom in ink and it has rubbed off mostly. This little statue has a new home and it just made a wonderful day yesterday, perfect.

 This was another little jewel that I got. Have other pieces of this set from mine and my husband's family. This little dish is a fun addition.

Another simple item that I found yesterday is this vintage box of greeting cards. They each have a little sparkle. Love the box they came in, too. Can't wait to use one on a project.

1. Learning to handle work frustrations
2. The spring sun
3. The artist I do not know that created such a beautiful St. Francis statue
4. Blessings from someone I need understand differently
5. Knowing that art gives me such great peace and joy

Have a wonderful week, Amanda

Keep Going Sunday

There seems to be a list of To Do longer than time this weekend. Last week I was able to do some creative work. These were two cards created for a coworker.

Both cards used scrap papers that I love. I liked the colors and details in each card. Both have a vintage feel. I reused an old button for the center of the flowers and then created the cardboard heart added gold paint with a splash of gesso for the other card.

One day I hope to be more of the art but until I am thankful for the time I get to do little bits. I am truly blessed and my top 5 blessings this week..

1. A beautiful homily at Mass today.

2. Music

3. Time with family

4. Paint pens

5. Yummy bakery items

Have a wonderful week, Amanda
