PassnItOn Artfire Shop RePurposed UpCycled Treasures

Hello, and Welcome to PassnItOn! Sorry, been absent a little bit with putting things together, making decisions, gluing, creating, crafting....and having fun! Then, taking pictures, and revising them to better fit for my listings. Artfire is still hopping with new sellers coming to the sight everyday...you know, some of the issues with Etsy and all. 

I wish all the new sellers coming to Artfire well, and much success too. Best to all of you!:)

Sorry to make this short, and uneventful but rushing to get things done around here. I wanted to wish everyone a super weekend, have fun, be safe, and enjoy!:) I shall be gone most of the weekend, and will check in with things as I am able to. Take care everyone, and stop by to visit my shop when you can PassnItOn Artfire Shop. Enjoy the inventory there, and watch for more to come:)

Also, I need a few more likes on my Facebook Fan Page I had to start over with a new account there due to glitches, and such. If you will, please visit that page, and like it for me.....I NEED a new URL address that is shorter, and easier for me to deal with too!:) LOL:) Visit PassnItOn Fan Page, and give it a like please.....Thanks soooo very much everyone!:) 

PassnItOn Repurposed UpCycled ReStored Treasures

Good Morning, and thank you for visiting my PassnItOn Blog. Hope this finds everyone doing well, and having a super day. 

I have a mess on my table with pieces of glass to glue together, sorting through pieces, setting pieces together and then deciding do not like it, or altering them, and so on. I have different little mini bouquets of flowers sitting around trying to decide finishing touch for another piece, and babysat grandbaby yesterday.....so I was delayed from what I started to do:) Looking at it today, and still unsure of a few things. 

Think gonna leave house for a bit, get some errands done, clear the head a bit, and hopefully when I come back I will see a picture of things to accomplish with some of these pieces here. 

Don't forget to visit PassnItOn Artfire Shop to see some of the pieces I have done, and watch for more to come....once I get them completed. Also, to see my links, pictures, and notes in one place feel free to visit a site I am working with PassnItOn. I am thinking I might like this better for a website than the google one I have been working with. Much easier to navigate, and deal with. Still a working progress, but really like the ease of things with this place. Check it out, and see what you think. 

Here is wishing all of you a Happy Hump Day! Wishing you luck with all you do being productive, and with those who sell too. Thanks for visiting PassnItOn, and hope to see you here again soon!:) 

 

Is Etsy Still Truly, and Legally a Venue OR are They Social Like Facebook

Welcome to PassnItOn, and glad you are here! I have slacked a bit lately with my Artfire store I have with this name. Stayed busy with other shop there, and today was looking at some more pieces trying to decide what to do. 


There are have been changes that happened at Artfire with their forums. Looks better, more organized, and everyone seems to be adapting well. 


Now, are any of you associated selling, or buying on Etsy? If so, I would strongly recommend to be careful right now. There is too much happening that is sending some tidle waves around there, and they have people closing their accounts too. 


It has been a spiral with Etsy. One thing after another, and it keeps happening too. They had the issue of the treasuries a while back where personal names, and information was going out about sellers there, or those who had accounts. Then there was the coral fiasco which was not good. Another issue not long after that was with a seller there, and the kind of cards they were offering that were very offensive, and very disruptive with everyone. It was bad enough that this issue made the CNN news with it. How sad. Next is the issue of the forums at Etsy, and that they will be rid of them soon. Oh, they will keep a few areas, and they are pushing the circles, and the teams that you will have to join to find out anything, get any information, ask your questions, and so on. But, they have just recently redone their forums, and the layout, and not sure what to think. Are the getting rid of the forums, or not now? 

Lastly, there is the issue of the privacy that is really making many of the members mad. Etsy wants you to ok the release of your address book contacts to them so that they can store, use, sell as they see fit. Their excuse has been so that people looking for you can find you through your email addresses. You will have the option to opt out of this, but if someone else you bought from has your address, and they opt in, well...their goes your information. During this time of disruption with the privacy issue some started to experience issues with facebook....they had their etsy shops connected to facebook, and had the applications accepted at facebook for etsy. But, some had their personal information coming out from this too. Their personal names, and it wasn't just hitting the fan pages. Some reported it happening to their profiles with their personal pages. 


I would recommend stopping by Etsy, and reading through the forums while you can, while they are still there, and searching through things a bit to see what is really happening. For the sellers it is not good, for the new members it is not good, and also for the buyers it is going to be an issue too. Especially if you bought from there, even if it was a long time ago, your address is there, and I have to apologize for everyone. When this rolls out with this last change, if you get spammed, I am so very sorry it is happening to you.

Many things to think about here, look at, read, and draw your own conclusions. But, what do you think of Etsy now? How do you feel about what is all happening at Etsy?

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:)

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. 

 

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!:)

Hello again, just me:) Wanted to come back in here, and leave pictures of some of the items I have added to my artfire store within this past week.

Repurosed Upcycled Reconstructed Handmade Treasures at Artfire

Hello Eveyrone, and stopping by to add to my blog a big, check on things, the usual:)

I have added another item to my store on artfire, and hope you can stop by to see what I have been doing, adding, etc. See PassnItOn at Artfire to see my treasures I have been making:) I have a few items sitting here that have been washed, air dried, and ready for me to connect those pieces together too. Let's see, cobalt blue goblets, plates with soft blue flowers and blue to match the goblets, some silver trim....Hmm...sounds inviting, huh? I hope to have them done in a couple of days, and ready for show too:)

Hope the weather is doing well where you are. We got hit with quite a bit yesterday. Winds up to 40 mph, morning day and night it went on. This morning woke to sun, and sparkly snow that needed to be moved to get on & off the yard here, to get around to feed horses, and paths to just be able to move. Hard to imagine going from 1 extreme to the next...UGH! 

Well, I better be off to check on things, and see if it is ready for me to start gluing yet:) I have a birdhouse I need to put the finishing touches on, and hope to get that done tonight yet so I can have that listed in my store too. Stop by to visit my store when you can, and thanks for visiting here. Stop by anytime:) Have a super week everyone!:)

Visit my Marketplaces with Artfire, and eCrater Too

Time is just flying now isn't it? Where is it going? It has passed me some where as I am not getting everything done as I should, or want to do. I have started items to my Artfire store for PassnItOn. I don't have all in there I wish to have, but am working on it. Taking pictures, measuring things, and listing as I am able to between the dealings of everyday life too:) I have items ready to list again, some items to be completed, and some items that have pieces setting out ready to be reconstructed too. It's exciting, I love it, and wish I had all the time in the world to get them done. But, one day at a time, and hopefully get done what I want to.

When possible visit my store to see what I have added so far, and keep an eye out for what other treasures I will also be listing too. Don't forget I also sell vintage collectibles, and have another store at Artfire for such a thing. The name of that store is LilacsNDreams. Yes, Artfire sells Hand Made, Vintage, Supplies, Media, Design, and Fine Art. Wonderful people there, and everyday something is always being added there. So, visit my stores there when you can, and visit with other sellers there too. And, lastly what I cannot offer at Artfire with their rules of what can be sold, can be seen with another store I am adding inventory to. That store is at eCrater, and also using the name of LilacsNDreams. 

When you can stop back to visit with me here, and also with my stores. Love the company, the comments, and seeing everyone there. Wishing everyone a great Sunday, and a beautiful week! Best of luck to all of you!:)
