What's in your bag?

I found this really cool flickr group through Sophie at Her Library Adventures. Almost 20'000 of people have already shared the contents of their bags. We all are curious by nature, aren't we? :)

Want to know what's in my big bag today?

What does my bag say about me? Hmmm... Probably that I carry around way too much stuff. :) Good that I took my beading box and three different kinds of glue out of my bag yesterday. That would have been weird. :)

What does your bag say about you? ;)

My Creative Space

For past three days I've been playing snowflake factory. I pulled out my copy of Sandra's Snowflake book and started beading again. (Two free snowflake patterns by Sandra D Halpenny available here) I've been making these wonderful snowflakes every Christmas for past three years. And guess what, I don't have even one of my own. They all got picked off our Christmas tree by my friends and relatives. So, this year I've decided to send some snowflakes along with Christmas cards, so they leave my tree alone. :)

Still long way to go...

Have you already started decorating for the holidays?

I pulled some decorations out of the closet last weekend...

Now I can burn candles in the work room and enjoy the warm light.

Meet my reindeer farm. I love this metal reindeer mobile that is now hanging between the living room and entrance. And those couple of bright dots on blue in the background are star lights in the bedroom.

It's dark and cold in Finland, so we're trying to cheer up with early Christmas decorations. :)

This week there is no Creative Space post at kootoyoo and the next one will be only in January, but I think I'll still keep posting My Creative Space.

Enjoy your evening!

Flea Market Finds

It's Sunday again, and I have some interesting finds to show you.

I haven't been flea market shopping for a while, but this week I decided to try my luck again. Surprisingly I found two things that I've been looking for during past two years.

First thing is great vintage porcelain butter dish. Perfect condition, no chippings or scratches. It has letter Z stamped on the bottom, and I'm still trying to identify the maker.

My other find of this week, which I'm very happy about, is this table mirror.

I've been looking for a mirror like this for over two years, but all I've found before have been in bad condition, repainted or way over my budget. But now I'm a proud owner of this wonderful piece, made in Finland, 50-60 years old. It's in perfect condition, clean from inside, no missing parts, no scratches. I couldn't be any happier!

If you'd like to see other Flea Market Finds of the week, visit Sophie at Her Library Adventures or check out Flea Market Find Flickr pool!

This week I also joined Thrift Share Monday at Apron Thrift Girl.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Saturday Shopping

It's Saturday again and it means that we go shopping together with Sandra from zsazsazsu.

I haven't posted too many new items this week in my Etsy store, as I was busy creating two very special goddesses for a wonderful lady from France, who makes gorgeous rings with vintage finds.

Here are my newest items...

Sweet Gingerbread Couple to wear on your favorite warm sweater.

All sparkling and shining Silver Peacock Barrette to brighten up your New Year's party. And you can wear it in so many different ways.

Black pendant with gorgeous fan shaped agate and cute faux fur skirt.

Enjoy your Saturday Shopping! Only 21 days till Christmas! ;)

My Creative Space

... is a bit different this time. It's more like early Christmas or late birthday.

I finally spent the birthday money that I received this year from my dear relatives.

The package arrived today. Liisa found it very suspicious.

Even more weird inside...

Can you guess, what's in the box? Here is a clue...

And here she is - my new pink toy. I've always wanted a sewing machine, but never had. It's nice, when dreams come true. Now I finally can make blue throw pillows for new bedroom and many other things...

Also got a small gift from the seller - cute tin with supplies and carrying case. Neat!

Now I'm impatiently waiting for the holidays, when I finally have time to figure out, how this thing works. :)

Meanwhile I have good bed time book to read.

Looks like a great day to me. What about you?

Enjoy your Thursday!
