Artfire Addoway Vintage Collectibles Repurposed Upcycled

Hello, and Welcome to PassnItOn! Stopping by to wish all of you a HAPPY EASTER to you, and yours. Be safe, and enjoy the day everyone. 

This year just me, and hubby sitting at home. Feels really different, but I guess this is what it is when kids grown up, move out, on their own, marry, children, and etc. Holidays will always be hard with this. 

Tonight I did about 9 listings between Artfire, and my Addoway Store. I have completed the transfer of repurposed, and upcycled treasures from PassnItOn into my LilacsNDreams Store. Has been a smooth move, and actually I think a good one too. I have been featured with more collections with the transfer, and of course puts more items into my LilacsNDreams Artfire Store which will bring more traffic too. So, now you will find the repurposed, and upcycled treasures I do in that store along with vintage, collectibles, glassware, and so on. So far I think things are blending in well enough. When you visit my store, on the right side of the page click on the category for Repurposed, Upcycled, Recycled to see all the items of this nature listed there.

I really thought about it hard, but finally did remove the pro membership on my PassnItOn Store to a basic account. Hated to let such a good deal go, but nothing is in the store, no plans to do anything with another store at this time, and it is for the best to do this. I also have another store that is with Addoway where I will be offering treasures that are not old enough for vintage, but collectibles, or pieces that are still desired by people.

So, when you have a chance visit with my stores, browse, and enjoy your visits. Any questions do not hesitate to contact me, ok? 

Wishing ya'll a super weekend, and a very HAPPY EASTER! Take care, enjoy, and be safe!

Artfire Vintage Collectibles Glassware Home Decor Repurposed Upcycled Recycled

Hello, and Welcome to PassnItOn Blog. Happy to have you here. 

Sorry, I know I have been a bit slow getting to this blog, and it has not been intentional. Been working with the transfer of items from my PassnItOn Artfire Store into my LilacsNDreams Artfire Store. Been a little slower then intended due to family, life, and something is always coming up lately. But, I keep working on it as I am able to. 

I do have a cloche that I had repurposed, upcycled, and recycled from different pieces put together. I was never really completely happy with the ending product. It felt like something was missing, but not sure what it was. You ever get that sometimes? And then it bothers you, or nags at you a bit till maybe you think of something. Done that a few times myself as I am sure others have too. Well, the other night before transferring it to my LilacsNDreams Artfire store I found a glass piece that appeared to be the right size, height, and was clear glass to match with the glass cloche dome made. I have glued the piece to the bottom, and feel better with the piece now. It gave it a little bit of height, not much, but just enough I think. My only hope is that others will like it as I like it now. My first cloche to make, and I have ideas for another one. Still a working progress for the second one. 

I have been busy with my facebook page for LilacsNDreams, and have had many likes this past week from many good Artfire Members, and others finding me along the way. I am really enjoying the combination of both these stores, have had some good responses to it, and some great views too. It really feels good to house things under one roof...so to speak. 

When you get a chance, visit my LilacsNDreams Artfire Store. Hopefully this weekend the transfer will have been completed as I have also completed a few other projects I would like to add with the inventory. I am really enjoying this, and feel comfortable with this too. Stop by to visit, say Hi, leave me a comment, and love the visits! Hey, don't forget you can do the same thing here too!:)

Thanks for visiting PassnItOn Blog today. Hope to see you again. Take care everyone, and have a super weekend!:)

Vintage, Collectibles, Glassware, Dinnerware, Home Decor, Repurposed, Upcycled, Recycled with LilacsNDreams

Hello everyone, and Welcome to PassnItOn! Glad to have you here. 

As everyone knows I was gone most of the weekend, and during the time of abscense, driving for hours, etc. I had time to think of things too. I have 2 shops with Artfire, and the other shop has a different name. The name with the 2nd one is a name I have been suing since like 2004-2005 when I first started sales online. Everyone likes simplicity, less work, easier to organize & maintain, and having things in 1 place. I believe I am going to be combining my 2 shops at Artfire under my other shop name which is LilacsNDreams. Within that shop I will be offering vintage, collectibles, dinnerware, glassware, home decor, kitchenware, along with repurposed, upcycled, and recycled treasures. Some of the reconstructed treasures might use a vintage piece during its process making. After much thought I feel that this kind of variety store would be fine to have combined, and a more enjoyable shopping experience for everyone too. 

So, now that I am back home, rested a bit today, I would like to start working tomorrow on moving things over, and combining into one store. As my friend has often mentioned....simplicity....and I feel like this is a good move too. When you get a chance, watch my LilacsNDreams Artfire Shop where you will see everything in 1 place to simplify. I will then be able to better focus with my listings more into 1 shop, give it all the proper attention it should have, and not only will it be more enjoyable for the customers, but also for me too. 

I will keep this blog going right now, and have no intentions of closing this. Great way to keep everyone informed, share, and gives everyone time to find me with other places too. When you have a chance feel free to visit my other blog at LilacsNDreams Blog, or visit my website I have also been working with at LilacsNDreams Website. Would love to have you visit, and leave comments with things too. 

Thanks for the visit, and the understanding of changes coming too. Wishing ya'll a very Happy Hump Day! Take care, and best wishes to 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.
