Asheville!

A while ago, I went with a friend to the town of Asheville. It is an awesome place! A kind of hippie place in the mountains...lots of vegan restaurants, street musicians. There are no franchise restaurants/cafes! Everything is local. There are many beautiful hotels. I've been there a few times already and I never get tired of the place. Many local artists, jewelry makers, antiques, odds and ends. If you ever come to North Carolina you definitely have to come to Asheville!

Laugh, Love, Hope...

At an awesome crepe restaurant...gluten free!

Old Nancy Drew books!!

At the Omni hotel.

My Converse and me! Perfect for Asheville!

Smokey Mountains...

Tulips

Don't know the name of these, but love their color!



And besides being in such an interesting place,  the weather was perfect! Ahhh...spring is beautiful!

Thanks for reading!

Earrings!

I love to look at blogs that use old things for new purposes!! And I also  LOVE earrings, and I had a lot of them all tangled up in a little box. On one of these blogs I saw how an old picture frame was transformed for hanging earrings, so I went to the Salvation Army store, bought a .97 cent wooden frame, got some gorgeous paper at World Matket, and some wire...a few minutes later I had made an awesome earring hanger!! So easy, cheap, and to my eyes, very pretty!!! So now I share it with you :)

Here is the finished project!

These are just a few of my collection of earrings, I will probably have to make at least 2 more...

Almost all my earrings have a story :)


Like these were made of melted glass by an artist friend from Mexico!


 
 
 
So this is my small project of the month. I will publish more as they are made...Thanks for reading!!!
