Smelly Stuff :)

For the glycerine soap....

Sugar Plum Dreams (The Sugarplum Faerie) -- my personal favourite :)
Tea & Honey (The Honey Bee)
Fresh Pear (Partridge in a Pear Tree)
Acorn Harvest (The Nutcracker Prince)

Sugarplum Tomatoes!

I ordered these from FlowerAngel Nursery in Texas.....Sugarplum tomatoes have been rated the best tasting grape tomato! Super sweet small fruits have firm texture and form in long clusters which allow for an easy harvest. Excellent for snacks and salads.

Charming are they not?

Another package arrived in the mail today :)

This one was filled with the charms for the wine glass charm project. As this initial order was to evaluate size, quality and quantity required, I am now in a better position to place a larger order.

I would like to thank Lois7374 (ebay) for this order.

The Nutcracker - these are actually larger than I thought they would be, but the detail is awesome :)



The Sugarplum Faerie - yes she's nude, but that's how they come!!



The Pear - these are just beautiful



And for next year...The Honey Bee - symbolized by the Beehive with two adorable little bees on the front.

Parcel :)

Wow......I love them :)

Today parcel arrived from Surrey, BC from Moefe (ebay).
I ordered from them parts for the Sugarplum Faerie pendant and the Petal Faeries.

This is what arrived....


So here is the breakdown of the contents.
The small package on the left contains little tiny spacer beads for the top of the Faeries head on the pendant. The picture does not do these beads justice at all for the two strands of purple. As I didn't know the size of the wing beads, I ordered two different Sugarplum coloured beads. Amazingly the larger beads are the ones that are going to work the best. The wooden beads on the end are for the heads of the Petal Faeries.



And these are the components for the Faerie pendant so far.....

Sugar Plum Spice

After buying a box of Celestial Seasonings holiday herbal tea - Sugar Plum Spice, in December my inspiration for my 2011 Christmas theme came about.

The box file shows little faeries dancing amongst floating sugarplums in a wintery backdrop. WOW...that's all it took! The tea itself is a very fruity and touch on the sweet side....perfect for the holiday season.
