Coffee Filter Roses. Back in my failed former days as a window dresser, I got some good advice from Tanja, the Grand Dame of the cosmetics department.
Originally from Romania, Tanja was widely renowned for her eyebrow waxing skills and had arrived at a point in her career when she only had to take one appointment a day, then happily dragged it out all afternoon. Most of the time was spent smoking and laughing and singing gypsy folk songs about beet salad, then more smoking and dispensing advice about important things like men, business, and unwanted hair. Of the many things I learned from Tanja, there are three golden nuggets that stand out; Never brush your teeth with blue toothpaste.Men with excessively bushy eyebrows are likely to cheat on their wives.Women will buy anything wrapped in roses.
*Women married to men with excessively bushy eyebrows should expect a lot of roses. Inspired by Yulia Brodskaya. I can't get over how amazing these are.

You don't have to be a fellow quiller to wish you were like this great lady. Tile Coaster Tutorial. How to Make a Paper Orchid.

I recently had the pleasure of discovering Santa Barbara, California-dwelling Rebecca Long’s shop The Rubbish Revival, where she sells a slew of decorative sea glass creations.

Ich musste diese langen Zimmermannsnägel einfach vor dem Schrottplatz retten, egal wie hoch der Rohstoffpreis auch sein mag. Die rostigen Nägel habe ich einfach um eine kleine braune Flasche arrangiert.

Dann mit weiteren Nägeln auffüllen und die Drahtschlaufen mit einer Krokodilszange anziehen. Schön fest. Fertig, Fabrikschick im selbst gemacht! Aber besser immer auf etwas stellen, das eventuell auch Rostflecken bekommen kann oder mit Klarlack überziehen, wer es mag. Passt die Katze nicht super zur Vase? Sniffed with approval. Lid Magnets.
