Sun Moon Stars Eye Catcher

 

Like jewelry for your home.

Eye Catchers are made with shells, sea glass, findings, vintage earring components and beads, chandelier prisms and all kinds of shiny, interesting dangling things that will surely catch one’s eye.  Hang it in a sunny window, hang it on the Christmas tree or your car mirror. A great gift for that special person who brings joy and light into your life.

Give her the sun, moon and stars. This ornamental eye catcher looks great from any angle. The light shining through the shell paints such a lovely picture as does the sun reflecting through the center amber glass bead. 6 1/2 inches long from the silver metal corkscrewed hanger to the very bottom of the star.

Purple Clematis

My purple clematis is in bloom and has reached the top of the trellis just as the pink dogwood is shedding all it’s petals everywhere.  I love spring.

M.I.A.D.

Vintage Gibson J40 Dreadnaught Guitar


We call it a Musical Instrument Acquisition Disorder and my husband has been managing his M.I.A.D very well, I have to admit.  As soon as he gets the fever and finds another guitar or ukulele or banjo he wants to buy, it’s time to sell one.   We have been selling (and buying) vintage musical instruments on ebay since 1998 with 100% positive feedback.

Stop by  Roy’s Etsy Shop*  for hand made cigar box ukuleles and other vintage stringed instruments available for purchase.
