Wacky Answer

Nestle Quik wasn't too tricky to figure out from yesterday's (5-30-12) post. Did you notice the hand reaching out of the top?! Maybe that is why Nestle went from a metal lid to plastic!

Wacky Pack Wednesday


I know this Wacky Package product is still with us because I have a canister in a kitchen cupboard.  And I, not my daughter, am the one who drinks it!

Enjoy!

TT/Bunting and Flags

A timely theme this week at Tag Tuesday: "Bunting and Flags."  I made paper buntings out of scrapbook paper that I aged with a wet tea bag.  The main image is from a commemorative postage stamp booklet that I thought might come in handy someday.  And that is a genuine postage stamp near the botom.  Note the cost!


I spent more time and effort on this tag than previous tags.  I thought it turned out so well that I hung it on the corner of a patriotic sampler I have.  What I didn't notice was it fell.  Rhody, the Coonhound, did notice.  Good thing I got a photo of it prior to her adjustments-- I guess she doesn't like red rick rack.  The tag was salvageable, but it will never be the same.

Enjoy (Rhody did!)!

70s Vases


These squatty vases were thrift store purchases (at different times) a few years ago. I imagine they once held some tall 1970s straw flowers that probably faded and collected dust until the owner tossed them.  I don't keep flowers of any era in them but do have them setting on a side table in my dining room.  I like their shape and colors.

Enjoy!

Draft Horse Tag

I've always had a great admiration for draft horses.  Where would civilization be without them?  Here is a simple tag I made recently.


Enjoy and thank a draft horse!

Playing Card

Another playing card from my collection.  I thought this looked rather summery.  I ought to set it our for the season, shouldn't I?

Enjoy!
