Dinner Party

Between Christmas and New Years-what is that week? I like to say goodbye to the old year & Hello to the New Year-what better way than a tiny dinner party!

Jade plant for luck and white roses just because they were lovely

Napkins(big)monogrammed with numbers - don't ask? but I have a passion for numbers & letters so these in the shop are monogrammed-lucky napkins they found a new home this week-

but for now the table was set in the shop Braswell

Wonderful glasses-(mixed) because that includes a little bit of everyone's taste
-a little bit of this and a little bit of that-from mom and grandmother or just odd glasses picked up along the way 

And with some lovely animals-the table is set at BRASWELL ready for dear guest to arrive!

Feather Light Fixture

Feather light hanging in BRASWELL the shop

I have been wanting to try my hand at making a feather light fixture since seeing a similar one on of my travels.

above picture shows the first layer of feathers 

You will need: 

 10'-12' cord with at least 75watt bulb

bowl with hole for light

glue gun(-be careful you can burn your digits with hot glue)

White ostrich feathers -80to100-feathers come in lots of colors

Half way through putting on the feathers..much easier to work- when fixture is hanging

Elio hanging completed fixture-It looks good!

In this shot you see white dupioni silk covering light cord( made silk snood for the cord)

gives it a more finished look 



Isn't this GRAND...you too can make this for your home or order one here.
