Antique wicker floor lamp
This beautiful antique wicker floor lamp is from the late 1800s and has an eiffel tower base and is in remarkable shape for its age...a special find!
Vintage treasures
This pair of vintage ashtrays have swinging legs and fans...curious conversation pieces for a table...if near a fan or blower the legs and fan will swing.

Antique sideboard buffet
Not sure what the correct name for this piece is but it's a real beauty with unique features that I wanted to share. Notice the ball and claw foot and the shelf supports shaped like a lion head.

Flowers and Pom Poms!
Just some additional colors on the flowers and some multicolored pom poms.

20"x30" tissue paper - 12 sheets 3 of each color


These flowers use two sheets of tissue paper cut in half so you have four pieces, accordian folded taped or wired in center, fluffed and small tissue flower added to center.

Large Flowers...still
Okay...I can stop anytime I want...well, maybe, but just not right now! I'm just glad I've got some wall space at the shop! These are in my office but they are a little large for the space especially the blue one but isn't it pretty?! My mom's favorite color!
On the large blue flower I made the outer petals a little simpler than the previous large flowers. I thought there might be less drooping from the top. The center is five coffee filters scrunched together.
The other flowers are about 13" across.
