I am unpacking my mosaic supplies
We are settling in to our new home. I am slowly unpacking my art studio. I do not have a dedicated space at this time. We are all feeling a bit crowded. I have learned that being productive is living to me. I can't wait. I have been playing with clay and mosaic. It feels good. I am taking over the entire house one surface at a time!

"One never knows"
The Pearly King and Queen
My Mom is Irish born and moved to London when she was a teen. I was born in a suburb of Boston. My Mom told us stories of Ireland and England when we were little. The Pearly King and Queen always fascinated me. I have always had the need for adornment. The suits and hats are decorated with pearl buttons. I had a picture in my own head before I ever saw the real thing. Here are some pics

Yankee Barn Sale, Dublin, NH
Yankee Magazine, headquarters in our town, puts on a Barn Sale every year. I love this!!! The treasures today were numerous. I am sitting here thinking about running back for the vintage ball jars and lightning jars. Wait, maybe I should go back for those flower tins, the red paint was perfectly distressed.
Wanted to share some of my treasure- hand carved mother of pearl buttons for pennies! Gorgeous vintage glass pearls, freshwater pearls, and a few real cultivated pearl strands. I found some amazing vintage book plates.
The food is always good, and the people are so interesting.
