Mouse In A Ladle/Dipper

Oh yeah, here she comes with those mice again.......this time I put one inside one of the black enamel ladles/dippers I picked up last week during my 'travels'.  I hot glued ( yes, Lynn I really did, LOL and did NOT burn myself this time around) some Spanish moss, grapevine twigs and Sweet Annie inside the dipper and then glued the mousie in.  His tail is a piece of jute and it curled in the oven which I just love.  It's sitting off to the mousie's right side if you can see it in the photo.
I then tied a bundle of Sweet Annie to the handle with some coffee stained cheesecloth.  I love how it turned out and this lil guy will be hanging from the top of one of the cabinets in my kitchen.  I have a few more ladles, so will be making more to add to my website and ArtFire and Etsy.
I took this photo first - and of course it's not a good one because it shows the flash in the copper tin. 

This one is better, although I think I need to find a better backdrop for the photos I plan to put on my shoppes.

Some Goodies

Had a wonderful 2 day trip with hubby to Lancaster PA and Carlisle PA .  Just got home last evening.
Picked up some goodies in Hummelstown, Pa on our way to Lancaster

These are my goodies - 4 ladles/dippers, a fluted cake pan, a small bowl - rusted inside but that's quite alright considering what I'm going to use it for. A tin scoop, and 3 wooden candle holders.  My favorites are the wooden boxes.  I paid $6.95 for the box on the far right, which I've seen go for $20.
My 'deal of the day' was the 2 other wooden boxes - the small one and the HUGE one - for a total of $3.  Those 2 I picked up at the Carlise Car Show.

 

 

This was my 'largest' item we purchased in Lancaster at Kings Furniture

I already have one exactly like it - but we really needed another one for storage.
