Decorative Pressed Glass Compote Candy Dish and Blue Candle Jewelry Holder Pedestal Stand

 Just listed this last night at Artfire. 3 separate glass pieces found at different times, and different places were put together to make this adorable candy dish compote. I added the iridescent pink bow for a more feminine touch. Many uses without the lid on it too.

This item is already listed in my store. But, yesterday I went through the store changing wording, titles, etc. When I got to this piece I redid the pictures, and added this angel to the piece too. She is not permanently added to the plate, but will be included with the sale. She just blends with all the colors, don't you think?






Trying not to write one of my lengthy blogs today. But, when you get a chance, it's the weekend, you're home, stop by to visit my PassnItOn Artfire Shop to see what I have listed so far. Working on more pieces....if I could just decide this glass piece with this? This glass piece with that? A 2nd layer of glass and plate? So on, and so on:)

Have a super Weekend everyone, and best of luck to you with all you do. Till the next time.....toodles:)

Artfire. . . .Great Place to be! Check it Out!

Hello again, and Thanks for visiting with PassnItOn today! Ok, just did some touch up glue on 1 item, have another finished product sitting in front of me, and need to revise the pics I took for it. Sorry, no peeking yet everyone:)

But, I would like to ask that ya'll check out this link with Artfire, and please consider it. You know I have my goodies listed there, and do not feel comfortable listing my repurposed, and upcycled items anywhere else right now. I have made enough in sales that takes care of my monthly fees, and I still profit after expenses. I love the google analytics I get with my membership, I enjoy looking at my stats, I really enjoy the forums there as I learn-share-and lurk too!...LOL:)

So, when you get a chance, click the old Artfire link above that I made clickable for you, and have a looksy, ok? You won't be sorry. Hey, I was always told don't keep your eggs in one basket, which I don't, but I sure do like having most of them in the 1 basket!:) Gotta spend a little to make a little, and why not have fun doing it too?:)

Thanks again for visiting, and hope ya'll have a great evening. Stop by here anytime, or visit my stores too:) Check out what I have been doing, and selling. Take care till the next time everyone......Toodles!:)

Etsy Changes & the New Unofficial Etsy Forums is Open. . . Visit With Them

Hello, and Welcome to all who visit with PassnItOn today. Thanks so much for visiting me, stopping by, and of course passing through too. I have 2 more items I have completed, and will be picturing them today for listing in my artfire store. Make sure you visit my store to see what is there, and what more is to come too. Visit PassnItOn at Artfire.


Now, anotther big issue is again with Etsy. They sure have been stirring things up there with making the news, changes, changes, and more changes which usually go unannounced, and you have to kind of be hit in the face with it too. Their lastest issue is with their forums there. They are closing the forums, and the only way to communicate, ask questions, share, learn, and so on will be by joining a "team". Sorry, this is not the same thing to me, and to many others too. Forums are an excellent place not only for the sellers, but also for your buyers. Everyone loves to read, lurk, share, show, and most of all...ask. Now, for all of that you have to belong to a team which we all kind of know how that goes. Whew! Still having a hard time comprehending this one. 


Due to this issue many are leaving, have left, closed up shop, and ventured off to find other ways to have their own forums for all to visit, and open to the public too. So, when you get a chance, if you haven't already, visit the Unofficial Etsy Forums that has been started. This group is steadily growing, many topics have been started, and they are progressing quite well too. So, give them a visit if you too are infuriated with the Etsy changes, and need some where to go and vent like others:)


Ok, time be off to feed horses, and to get a package to the post office from a sale on my other sight at artfire. . . LilacsNDreams. Thanks again for visiting everyone, and have a super day!:) Till the next time.....behave, enjoy, and have fun!:)

PassnItOn at Artfire With Repurposed and Upcycled Treasures

Hello, and Welcome to PassnItOn! Glad you found me, and are visiting with me today. 

I am finishing up with 1 repurposed, and upcycled treasure I almost have completed. I put lace on yesterday, added more glue, today it is dry, and now am looking at some flowers to make a small bundle to attach to the piece with a small ribbon. I used a new plate that came from a set. Was an odd piece, and I have used a light chandlier cover that has light etched flower design in the glass. Attached the 2 and made another candle holder. This piece is looking good, and looks almost like new too! I am anxious to get it done, and have it ready for show. 

I have some extra glass pieces sitting here I have been toying with a bit. I put a piece with this, put these 3 pieces together, this one with that one, and so on. I think maybe I have found a couple of more things to make. I don't rush into things. So, tonight I will got back to looking at them, and probably start gluing again. I have found 3 different glass pieces that fit together nicely to make a lidded compote, or candy dish. I was very surprised the lid fit into the decorative designed bowl I have along with a flatter and wider candle holder to make a base for the piece, and give it a bit more character. Hmmm....I might have to get started gluing it now!

Thanks again for visiting with me at PassnItOn, and when you can visit my PassnItOn Artfire Store too. Love to have the visits, and to show my work to others to see. Take care, and have a super week everyone!:)

Glass Candle Holder and Bird House both Repurposed and Upcycled

Above is another Glass Candle Holder I have repurposed, and upcycled. Item was reconstructed by me using a brown glass chandlier light cover, a lonely mikasa saucer, I added a glass votive cup holder inside the brown glass with a cinnamon roll brown candle, and then on the edge of the plate has been added this boy, and girl figurine sitting. He is giving her flowers. If you did not feel you wanted this figurine on the plate edge, I have left it that it can be removed. I just used a light tacky substance to hold it in place:)

Here is my 1st birdhouse I have done. I spent some time with this making sure things dried, searching for different embellishments to use, changing my mind, and etc. This is ready to be listed with my PassnItOn Artfire Store. Pictured, weighed, measured, and hope to have this listed with my store tonight (monday) I have attached the white base to the birdhouse I found. I then added some green leaves around the pedestal base with a little green grass too. On the birdhouse I have attached a handmade decorative bird that has a gold beak, some sequins and pearls added to the tail and wings, and has a slight flower design in it's body that blend with the birdhouse coloring. Bird was made from a long time ago, found in one of my storage containers, and added to the perch where it is now glued. The roof of the birdhouse was just a plain unfinished wood. I have added a very light layer of a crackled paint to it giving it just enough outside wear look, and blending with rest of the piece. This birdhouse was made for inside the home, your porch, and etc. 

It's Monday, new week, and I hope this finds everyone doing well. I want to thank everyone for stopping, visiting with me, passing through, and so on. Hope to see you again. Visit my Artfire store sometime to see what is all there, and remember other pieces are being worked on to also be added. Have a super week everyone, and take care. 

 

Welcome to PassnItOn Blog . . . Repurosed, Upcycled, Recycled, Reconstructed Treasures by Me

Hello again, and welcome to PassnItOn Blog. Sorry, I was getting antsy, and wanted to get this done, and really hate leaving things undone. I don't know if this is the complete answer yet for my new banner to the blog, but it is a start anyway. Maybe it will grown on me, and you? Not sure, but will give it a try. 

I am really spoiled by being use to using bannerfans.com with options I have there, different things I can do & have come accustomed to, and so on. But, for the time being I used photobucket. I wish they had a few more options there, but I have dealt with what I could work with right now. 

So, anyway, here is the new blog banner for now, and will see what happens next. Do I keep it? Revise it? Hmmmm......:) Stay tuned! LOL:) Thanks again everyone, and stop by again. 

 

PassnItOn Store at Artfire for Repurposing, Upcycling, Recycling, and Reconstructing by Me!:)

Hello everyone, and welcome to PassnItOn. Just stopping by to visit, check on things, and to show a picture of a few more items just listed with my PassnItOn Artfire Store. So, when you get a chance, stop by to visit the store, and see some of the pictures with their details I am showing.  Oh, and I still cannot get into bannerfans.com to work with my banners. I so wish I knew of another place that I can do things like I do there, and free of course too. So, finishing my blog banner & some things is still on hold. Hopefully soon. Ok, anyway, enjoy the pictures everyone!:)

Hmm...I am having fun doing this, and right now I would really hate for anyone to see my dining room table, and kitchen counter tops! I have been digging, bringing more things out, sitting together, visualizing, washing pieces, air drying them, and getting ready to soon do a few more pieces. Some pedestal stands again, and maybe some a little different too. Either way, and no matter what I do it is fun, and I enjoy the time doing it too. I hope others are able to share in with what is shown, and can also enjoy it too. 

Well, time to be off to working on some things. Thanks for visiting everyone, and stop by anytime. Take care, and have a super day everyone!

 

Repurposed Upcycled Reconstructed Crafters.....Welcome!!

Hello again everyone! Well, as you can see I got the background changed for my blog, and was gonna add a different banner, but have been delayed for just a bit. I generally use bannerfans.com, and have become very accustomed to the site, and what I can do there. Nothing fancy, simple, add my pictures/background I want to use, choose different fonts to use, sizing, borders, etc. But, once again the link is broken to the site. I hope it will not last long. Last time it did this it was like almost a week before I could get back into it. I can't complain, it's all free. But, when you get use to something, been using it for quite a while, it becomes habit:)

Been doing organizational work with desk papers, and on the internet today. Hopefully will have enough done I can get some work done tomorrow since I will be snowed in again. Wish me luck everyone. Thanks again for visiting, and hope to see you again soon. Take care:)

Repurposed, Upcycled, Recycled, Handmade, Reconstructed. . . . . Treasures by Me!

Hello, and Welcome to all Crafters of all sorts who are stopping by, and passing through. Great to have you here!

New year, and things always seem to change in regards to this, that, this, and that again. Sometimes some of us set goals for ourselves, and go all year long without completing them, or forgetting about them. Me...guilty of all:) So, this year I am just making notes to myself for things I would like to get accomplished, nothing big, nothing out of the ordinary, but things I can do day by day, week by week, or month by month. That sort of thing. Usually with goals will come changes.

Blame it on the new year, goals, maybe even cabin fever from snow & weather, but I did get started with some changed to my Artfire store. I did something simple of changing my avatar, and banner there. Nothing fancy, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing drastic with all kinds of pictures, and so on. Just some simple colors of pastels which I myself like, and applied that to the PassnItOn Artfire Store. When you get a chance, stop by to see it. I am honestly thinking about bringing those colors into my blog here too. IF I do it before you see the store.....hope ya'll like what I have done:)

Well, wanted to stop by here, say hi, check on things, and better get back to accomplishing some things. Maybe not all I have scheduled to be done today. But, hey, if I can get even a few things done....I have accomplished something. Thanks for visiting everyone, and hope to see you again. Take care......

Repurposed Upcycled Reconstructed Pedestal Stands

Good Evening everyone, and Welcome to My Blog PassnItOn!:) Glad to see you here, and happy you stopped by to visit & browse. 

Artfire has been under maintenance most of the day with some upgrades done last night, and of course today getting things back into order from all of it too. So, kind of was on hold for a bit doing anything. I did get some pictures taken of a couple of more things I plan on adding to my store that I have completed. So, keep a look out for that too. Also, I did get a chance to change my avatar, and banner in my Artfire store. Check it out, and leave me a comment if you like it better than this banner here on my blog because I am thinking of changing it here too. Nothing fancy, simple, but I sooo love my pastel colors too!:)



Notice on the right side bar I have also added my rapid cart from Artfire. Helps me just in case I forget to add the pictures here for ya'll to see the work being added to my store. 

I have some more loose pieces sitting here I have washed, and cleaned, and thinking about. I have some ideas for some more items I know I have stored in my spare room for when I feel like being creative, and venture off to do a few different things than the pedestal stands that I have been doing.

I know with some of the craft shows, and with flea markets the pieces I offer now are like some of them that are also offered with these places for people to see, and purchase. I think they are really neat, and there are soo many possibilities of things that can be done with them too. Giving New Life to Treasures is fun, and I enjoy spending my time working with the items, and putting them together, and thinking of things to do. Hey! It's better than sitting around twiddling my thumbs coming up with ideas of things to occupy my time with, better than thinking about bills, and much better than looking out the window at all this snow & not being able to get anywhere again. At least for tonight...NO travel being advised. 

Here is to wishing everyone a super great weekend! Thanks again for visiting with me, and stop to see my store when you can too. Never know, you might find something you like that would be great for your home decor, or given as a gift too:) Take care everyone.

PassnItOn Repurposed Upcycled Treasures at Artfire

 Hello everyone, and Welcome to PassnItOn! Glad to see you here, and thanks so much for stopping by:)


I am just stopping by here myself to show a few pictures to some items I listed with my PassnItOn Store at Artfire. I am enjoying the repurposing, and upcycling of some of the pedestal stands I have been doing. I hope others can also enjoy the Giving of New Life to Treasures being offered, and adore them as I also do. 


Well, when you get a chance, stop by

 to visit my store, and have a look at some of the yummies shown there.

See those green apples? Those are candles. In fact, I think they are suppose to be floating candles that I have added with this plate as the colors, and everything just came together to make this what it is. 





 

This pedestal stand was fun! This mauve colored dish is something I had sitting for show for a very long time in my home, have attached it to a glass holder, added a simple bow underneath, and have included this white angel with pink flowers. She had a broken hand, but it has been repaired, and she looks good standing in this dish, don't you think?:)

Well everyone, again, thanks so much for visiting me here, and make sure to stop by my store too. Take care, and have a super weekend. Enjoy it, and be safe all!:)

HAPPY....NEW.....YEAR....EVERYONE!!:)

It's official now everyone, and here it is........HAPPY NEW YEAR, AND WELCOME 2011!! Hoping everyone is enjoying their time, have a super weekend, enjoy, and please be safe. Here is to the New Year from PassnItOn!:)
