Happy accidental discovery!

A base of Paint Couture’s Antique Gold lux metallic paint + a dry brush of their Lilac lux metallic paint = carnival glass!

Have you checked out the great printables from Sparks of Joy Studio?

These potion labels are doing double duty for me - as a journal and (coming soon!) a coordinating desk sitter!

I’ve been looking for something that has my trademark snark, but isn’t •too• spicy - bingo!

I decoupaged it to an A5 hardcover lined notebook, added some additional aging with Tim Holtz distress ink along with a bookmark and these will be great for my upcoming craft fair!

Thanks so much, Natalie, for your inspiration!

Because of Mother Nature’s impending hissyfit, the Fall Foliage Festival in Winsted has been cancelled.

But - this adorable pumpkin shelf sitter make-and-take class is still going on! Stop by Andy’s Attic, say hello to Amanda of Levesque Farm & Apiary and bring home a cute little fall decor piece!

Even though this weekend isn’t going as planned we still have an event on Saturday. Make an adorable wooden pumpkin shelf sitter. This is a walk in class no pre-registration required. You will pay the vendor directly. Class runs from 12-3 while supplies last. $10 per pumpkin.
