Mosaic Monday - Christmas Decorating with Vintage Glass Balls

Mosaic Monday - Christmas Decorating with Vintage Glass Balls.

Wow!  What a busy craft market season I've had!  I've had NO time to check in.....it's all over now (except for one more market date on Dec. 21st out at the New Westminster Quay).  Now it's time to have some holiday cheer with my family (and get the house in order - you should see the state it's in after all the craft market craziness!!!).  This weekend we'll get our tree and decorate it with my bajillion  vintage Christmas ornaments.

Links to these photo's can be found on my pinterest "Christmas" board.

Mosaic Monday - Market Booths

The Winter craft markets have officially started, so today's Mosaic Monday theme is: Market Booths. Yesterday was my first Christmas fair of the year - just the beginning of a bunch of upcoming shows (found here).  Links to these booth images can be found through my Pinterest board "Displays 1" and "Displays 2".

Here's a little mini mosaic of my table. It's always changing..........and will change multiple times throughout this short Christmas fair season too!

Mosaic Monday - Studio Love

Wow.....I can't believe the ENTIRE Summer came and went without popping in and blogging! It was a great summer. Great weather, great festivals, great family fun....but busy, busy, busy!! Autumn has arrived, along with dropping acorns, colourful leaves...and those hang-y silk worms dangling from the trees!

I very recently rented a studio space outside of my home. I can't show any photo's yet, because it's in shambles with paint supplies and Ikea boxes everywhere. I spend a lot of time on Pinterest though, admiring other people's studios....so "Studio Love" is the theme of my Mosaic Monday today! The links to the studios above can be found on my Pinterest board: Studio.

Mosaic Monday - Mail Art

Mail art is on my mind these days, as I'm part of an International Mixed Media Postcard Swap by "Musings on Realities". Here's some mail art that I'm in love with:

I bought these paint by number clowns recently....I'm not really sure why I bought them (they kind of scare me), but they were my inspiration for my "Mosaic Monday" theme this week.

Mosaic Monday

I'm always on the lookout for heart shaped rocks....but I never "see" them. Other people just glance down at the ground and see them here, there and everywhere!

1. true love, 2. heart collection, 3. heart rock, 4. Heart Rocks, 5. Hearts, 6. Heart shaped rocks, 7. one doesn't have a heart of stone, 8. palavras pedra, 9. hearts collected, 10. From my heart's beach, 11. all the world loves a lover, 12. Heart of Stone

Instead, I'm drawn to the rocks with rings through them (which I also like a whole lot!). We went to White Rock beach after the Farmer's Market on Saturday. You know.....now that I look at this photo again, the rock on the far right looks like a heart doesn't it?

The kids goofing around on the pier.

You should have seen the huge portion of fish and chips that we ate after this!....good 'ol Moby Dick's!
