January Flying by........Stormy Day Here in N.S

Well, its a "Snow Day" here in Nova Scotia.......so the children are all still in bed. Some nice heavy wet snow has fallen through the night, and although it was only forecasting a few cms, it looks like there are about 3 inches on the outside railing!
January has flown by so fast, I can't believe we are nearing the end of the first month of 2010 already! Although I haven't posted any new items lately I have been working, working working......
I have a few half done dollies, and have been doing up some shop order of pillows, and valentine goodies! I will have some new dollies to post, and some updates to the website very very soon!!

Primitive Rusty Quart Jar Candle Holders with Prim Labels -

Starting with plain quart jars I printed prim labels - some from google images and some I designed myself. I rusted the jars with my own "prim rusting recipe" which gives them a nice slightly bumpy authentic looking rust. They were sealed for protection, and have a grubby piece of cheesecloth tied around the rim. Each Jar comes with a frosted votive/tealight candle holder which sits perfectly in the jar opening and includes a vanilla scented tealight candle.
Jars are available at my website http://www.artsycraftsyfolks.com
They are 12.50 cnd each plus applicable shipping costs.





Be sure to check out my stitchery candle mats that perfectly compliment these candle holders for your primitive decor!
