Sparkin'

 

I almost always make it out to Sparks, Kansas twice a year for their huge flea market.  The same dealers are in the same places so it's easy to find my faves, including Billy.  He has good stuff, the prices are right, and who couldn't love a face like this?!

There were lots of pretty flowers at this Spring's show.

I fell in love with this farm table.

Another awesome table.

I found lots of mosaic ingredients including vintage aluminum coffee pots I'll be transforming soon.

Austin Country Living Show

I'm back from the Austin Country Living show.  It was a huge learning experience and I met many amazing people!  Thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth - I was blown away by the compliments and look forward to getting back into the studio next week to make more good stuff.  I sold out of buttah dishes and have only one tea pot left, so I need to rebuild inventory and set my sights on the next show!  Here are a few pics of my booth space.

This is Deborah (above).  She bought the switch plate for her laundry room and I had to take a picture of her fabulousness - just look at that ring!!  And below are some fabulous customers from Denver who bought "SALT LICK".  In fact, I'm making another so they both can have one in their bathrooms.

Too funny!!!  Scott cashiered for me and would only pull it out when we had a customer he knew would not be offended!

Martin Family Mortuary

Welcome to the Martin Family Mortuary.  What took your loved one from this earth?  Was it the neighbor's cat?  A recently Windex-ed sliding glass door?  Bird flu?  Let our staff at the Martin Family Mortuary prepare your loved one for that epic journey to the Great Beyond.

 

Eccentricities Mosaics by Kelly Aaron

Things are coming together for the Country Living show next week in Austin, TX at the Travis County Expo Center. I'm so excited about my new sign!!

This was the first cowboy boot I made and it was purchased by a great customer in London.


Signs by Tomorrow made the sign and I would recommend them highly. If you're in KC, they're on 87th and Farley.

I spent hours the other day getting every piece tagged and bubble wrapped. I want to make a few more things and am going to land just shy of my inventory goal, but it is what it is!!

Welcome to the Bluebird Bistro

My latest mosaic birdhouse is perched upon vintage wooden spools and features spoons for the roof. Chirp, chirp!








I am loving the coffin shapes - these are 12" by about 4.75" at the widest point.

Yo Ho Ho A Pirates Life for Me

Finally grouted a few things today. I glued two large coffins, coming soon. The ones pictured below are tiny magnets that measure about 4" tall by about 1.5" wide. Love em'. This heart was inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World's Magic Kingdom. The knife and skull were purchased in the gift shop there.
