Happy New Year Aloha Style!

Welcome 2010

Here in Hawaii we really know how to ring in a new year!
If you ever have the chance to come for a New Year celebration you are in for a real treat. The fireworks displays are widespread in just about every backyard along with special displays given throughout town. Last year we had a 360 degree display. It is a good thing the wind has picked up a little as the air gets, shall we say, quite cloudy later on in the evening. Have fun!

Lawbre greenhouse kit


This is a photo of an assembled Lawbre greenhouse kit.
The walls of my kit are mostly complete although I ran into a stop point recently after discovering that a  few of the plexiglass panels were scratched.
I am undecided exactly to what purpose this greenhouse will be used but do intend for it to be part of the street of shops.

Miniature sale finds


Here are a few of the treasures I found a few weeks ago as we happened upon a miniatures yard sale in our area.  I love all of these hand painted little metal trays. They remind me of the vintage toleware and trays that I have been collecting. 
The pottery bowls are delicate and fine. The little stools are going to be fun to use and one of them is tole painted.

The furniture pieces with the exception of the huch were also finds at this stop. Can't wait to rework these.
I'll save more of my finds for another day.
