Crowded Studios, Spring is Sprung and February's Winner

Spring is here, for about the third time this year!  The high today is above the mid-70's.  

I thought I'd show you this yellow crocus  from the prospective of a tiny fairy.  Although we have many colors, my yellow crocus is always the first to bloom.

Don't they look happy to be above ground?

I can almost hear them cheering, "We're free!  We're not buried in the dark anymore and it's beautiful and we're free!"  

A thought befitting a beautiful Sunday, don't you think?

I listed a few things on Etsy last week:  Like these three oatmeal juice glasses, for example.  I also listed two oatmeal whiskey glasses.

They're called oatmeal glasses because they used to be buried in the middle of oatmeal boxes.  Can you imagine opening up oatmeal today and finding such a glass?  I wonder what the FDA would have to say about such a notion.  Anyway, I digress.  They're beautiful glasses and were designed by Anchor Hocking.  I believe it was during the 1950's that people were buying oatmeal to get a collection of this pattern.  It was about the same time that Dreft detergent was including a bath towel in their boxes.  

     I remember it like it was yesterday

Of course, I don't remember any of this.  I was much too young.  

I listed this peahen trinket box, too, as well as a couple of my altered tobacco tins.  If you get a chance, click on the images or HERE to see my listings.  I'll be adding more goodies throughout the week.  

Remember that, in my last post, I challenged you to post pictures of your uncleaned craft/sewing/art studio?  A couple brave souls raised to the challenge!  DEB is always a good sport . Click HERE to see her area and after you visit her, click HERE to go to Michelle's Country Vintage Blog.

     She's another good sport who's not afraid of falling objects.

     If you know of any others who responded that I don't know about, please let me know so I can post their link here on this blog.

     Okay, start your drum rolls!  Time to announce the February winner!!!  (Notice how late  I am this time - later than normal???  The short month messed up my internal calendar.)  

     The WINNER for February is PATRICIA of PATRICIA ROSE!

     She has no idea what she has won because I didn't post pictures!  I figure, why spoil the surprise and post now?  So, Patricia, if you email me your snail addy (Miller.sher@yahoo.com), I'll get your package in the mail to you!

     Meanwhile, I'll try to be on top of things for the March Giftaway!  What will it be?  *Hint* - I'm still thinning out my supply of aprons.  Stay tuned!  ;)  Have a blessed week, all of you!
