I have tried not to shop for treasures to create with for a while but to try and use my treasures and goodies that I already have first but as you all know I am sure that can be very difficult at times which it proved to be yesterday and ... I lost the battle with myself!...But I did find a few very neat things to create with!!
Canadian Tire had already put all their Christmas decorations on sale and because I didn't know about the sale I unfortunately missed out on new outdoor lights for the house. Instead I found the neatest little ceramic white bird houses which are a Debbie Travis design. I like their simplicity ~ it gives me more to work with I think.
Aren't they just so cute?!
I am going to try and leave them until next Winter before I work with them. Will I leave them? ... only time will tell.
And of course Michaels was one of the other stores I just had a little look at and I also found something really nice that I would normally not think of buying but this year I did! It was a packet of silver cake doilies with so much detail ~ just so pretty!

All the detail ~ beautiful!
Just like with my other finding I am going to try and leave these alone until next year's Christmas.
I have been working on a few Christmas creations these past days and I am hoping to share them with you in the next few days. So ... do stop by and visit me here at Todolwen soon again.
I hope you are well and life is treating you kind my dear friends.
Have a peaceful and creative day,

Gorgeous finds! I love that doily - and I'm not usually a paper lace doily kind of person either but that is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with keeping your hands off the birdhouses for a whole year!
