A little change from making etched glass lenses- mini milk bottles for Santa (£4) and tiny treat jars for his Elves (£2)

There’s been a lens hiatus over the last few months, after the rush of Easter and Mothers Day. Instead, I’ve been working on lots of other lovely upcycled things- paper book flowers (perfect for end-of-year teacher and nursery key worker gifts), vintage teacup gardens and afternoon tea stands made from vintage plates.

Paper book flowers are £3 for a posy (2 flowers and a pompom), £1.50 for a single large stem, £1 for a single small stem. Collection from Sheffield only

Afternoon stands are £15 for a 3-tier and £10 for a 2-tier. Collection from Sheffield or potentially postage (I’d need to price up)

Teacup gardens have sold out within about 5 minutes of posting on my local buy and sell group!

I’ve just had a proper count of the etched vintage glass lenses I’ve sold since starting to make them in December and realised it adds up to 90 lenses! Gosh!

Looking for non-chocolatey Easter gifts? How about an inquisitive bunny?

It's been a while since I posted! I have a full time job- so my crafty activities have to fit in around the edges. The snowdrop lenses have been my most popular for March- but the hellebores in my garden are well in bloom now, so this lens seems fitting.

Today’s custom order- one happy little puffin on a military blue ribbon, with a suction cup to hang from a window

Did you know that glass is the 'modern' theme for a 3rd wedding anniversary? Me neither- but now we do :)

A reminder of these love-themed vintage etched optician's lens available to order- only a week left to order for postage in time for Valentine's day :)

I love objects that are functional but beautiful. How lovely are the wooden trays that my vintage opticians lenses come in?
