pine cones autumn centrepiece / aranjament de toamna cu conuri

Simple pine cones table centrepiece.
 I rescued the glass from my attick dumped there by the former owners. It was an old gas lamp, and only the glass was left from it.

Un aranjament de toamna foarte simplu.
Am recuperat sticla din pod aruncata acolo de fostii proprietari. E sticla de la o lampa veche pe gaz . Doar sticla a mai ramas dein ea.

stone hearts / inimi de piatra de la mare

aaaa, la mare, la soare!!!

green wreath / coronita verde

  We went to the Black Sea last month, 2 days in Vama Veche (The old custom border) and 2 days in Mangalia. In Mangalia we surfed the coach of a couple. When my hubby showed me their profile I had the impression that I was reading about ourselves. We had a lovely time with them. She is in the arts and crafts as well so we had lots to talk about. I found these gorgeous kind of tree fruit so I made a wreath for them. I must say that I love the way they turned out.  She showed me lots of her handmade earrings. Beautiful.When we left she gave me this pair of beautiful blue earrings. As she guessed they were my favourite. We had a great time with them and we'd love to see them again. Thank you for having us in your home O and A.

Wild flowers wreaths / coronite din flori salbatice

These are some wild flowers  wreaths that I've done this autumn. The wild flowers are everywhere and they are so easy to make. And they look so lovely.

Acestea sunt coronite din flori salbatice pe care le-am facut asta toamna. Florile de camp sunt peste tot si coronitele sunt asa de usor de facut! Si arata asa de frumos!

white, gold and black party favour boxes / cutii tort albe cu auriu si negru


And this is my last example.  And this one also sold. So, sometimes too simple is just too simple, and other times simple is perfect. I guess it depends on what you want and what you want to do with it. And, of course, it is also the money problem: if it is more complicated (therefore more materials used and more work) then it is more expensive. My advice: play with it all cause you' ll never know.

Si iata ultimul meu exemplu. Si tortul acesta s-a vandut. Asa ca uneori prea simplu e pur si simplu prea simplu, iar alta data e perfect simplu. A, si mai e deasemeanea problema banilor: daca e mai complicat (prin urmare sunt folosite mai multe materiale si mai multa munca), atunci e mai scump. Sfatul meu: joaca-te ca nu stii niciodata ce iese.

white, gold and purple party favour boxes / cutii tort albe cu auriu si mov

 Here is another example of how I went to one stage to another until somebody liked it and bought it. I must say that photos are soooo important. The light is the most important one. I have many of my photos taken with my telephone camera and I am pleased with them because the light is great. Anyway, my idea is that you never know what sells, so keep on trying till you do.

Iata un alt exemplu. Se vad etapele pe care le-am facut pana cand unei persoane i-au placut si le-a cumparat. Trebuie sa mentionez cat de importante sunt pozele. Cea mai importanta e lumina. Multe din pozele mele sunt facute cu telefonul si imi place cum au iesit pentru ca lumina e buna. Oricum, ideea e ca nu stii niciodata ce se vinde, ce ii place omului, asa ca trebuie sa tot incerci.

red and white paper cake party favour boxes / cutii tort alb cu rosu

I made these white paper cake boxes with red bows and ribbons and didnt sell. I liked it but it didnt sell. Then I gave it a make over: I added gorgeous pink self adhesive heart shaped diamonds to it and lots and lots of  pink drops. Now it looked great. To my disappointment, it didnt sell either. I'll give 2 more examples. Please read further.

Am facut cutiile astea din carton alb si fonta rosie. Nu le-am vandut. Mi-au placut dar nu s-au vandut. Apoi am regandit totul: am adaugat niste inimi superbe roz si multe picaturi roz pe cutii. Acum aratau super. Spre dezamagirea mea, nu s-au vandut nici acum. O sa mai dau 2 exemple. Cititi mai departe.
