I recently bought a gorgeous batch of Blenko art glass at an auction. I really had no interest in it until they brought out a tray of 10 pieces of this blue glass and the sunlight hit it and made it twinkle and I was in love. I've got a few pieces on eBay right now and the rest are in my booth at Barn House Antiques in Lansing. I've got a small blue chicken dish (not Blenko) on my Etsy site, too.

I got a box of these at an auction a couple weeks ago. I was going to sell them, but know that I've photographed them, I've fallen in love. I'm thinking sculpture or maybe porch ornaments.

The gals from Quirky Works Studio traveled to Poplar Ridge the other day and we had a quick lunch of pumpkin soup, raisin bread toast and pears while we mulled over creative ideas for our businesses. Martha and Karen brought over a new batch of their wonderfully altered clothing, this time featuring more FLAX. You're gonna love these pieces.

An old DDG promo photo...I still love it! We are coming up on our 10th anniversary. Mind boggling.

I'm feeling pretty creative these days and thank goodness I've got a bit more time to work on projects. This chair is not mine, but it inspires me in several directions. Take a look at Wintercheck.com and see if it doesn't move you to think in ways you haven't thought before.

We went on a little family drive yesterday with our main destination being the Apple Station in Union Springs. The owners are old buddies of Ed's and they run a great place with fantastic apples, veggies, pumpkins, NY cheddar and homemade donuts. Yum! As we were driving home we noticed that Coppersque was open. I've never happened upon the store when it was open, so I was thrilled to finally go in and see what they had to offer. I was instantly smitten with the leather bags by Paulette Rollo of Maine. They only had a few items left in stock, but I managed to snag a small heart-shaped leather bag that is just charming. I need to get a good photo and I'll post in here soon. In the meantime, check out Copperesque, either in person or on their website.

The key to buying clothes online is to know the measurements of your favorite articles of clothing and compare them with the items for sale. Take if from an expert. Please.
