A Lot Of Moss!











I have been using it by the bag full. Moss that is. It's a new favorite craft supply of mine. These rusty pieces were purchased at a local flea market, then decorated by me. I love glittering the little birds, and making their nests. They are all slightly different, and they are for sale at Sticks N Stones in Agoura Hills California. Diane's beautiful store!! I have been using this moss for crowns, frames, mirrors,lamp shades, and now rusty old lanterns. Let me tell you, this stuff makes a huge mess. An even bigger mess than the burlap, but totally worth it. Believe me I track it all over the house. My vacuum gets quite a work out after these.
I hope you all enjoy your long Valentine/President's Day weekend.

Chat again soon.
Love,
Rosemary

My gosh you have been a Crafting Queen lately. I Love these. I know what a mess it makes I use Moss in my orchids. There is one type I Love but it has the most horrible stink for the first few days and everyone in the family gets annoyed when I use it. Hope you have a Wonderful Long weekend, Kids are off for four days, sleeping in sounds Great. xo Jamie

My dear, dear Rosemary,

I love moss. I love the smell of moss. I love the look of moss. But you are right; it is messy! WOman, you really know how to turn my head. I have been lovin' birds a lot lately and that little glittered guy you have here is a hoot! I love the shot of him "head on" and his little eyes just staring right into the camera! This is exquisitely done, as always and evokes a sense of woodland royalty! Oh, I love it.......Bisous Rosemary, one of my first blogger pals in Blogland! Anita

Dearest Queen Rosemary! You were the belle of the ball last night in your blue satin Marie-Antoinette gown! Thanks for stopping by dear! OH! I just love the pictures of your charming little birds here that I clicked on them to enlarge them. I HAVE A HUGH QUESTION FOR YOU! That darling little guy with the green face, looking head-on into the camera, he is weARING A CROWN!!! Is that metal or paper? If it is metal, do you sell the crowns? How can I purchase those crowns? DO TELL! Thanks for always coming by....Anita
