Ink wells...

I recently recieved a huge shipment of antique glass inkwells...all different colors and shapes, plus five Carters Ink wells with the rust lids intact.  Then, today I recieved a shipment of over 50 handwritten letters and documents from the late 1800's and other paper ephemera to make my ink bottle viginettes....they will be soooo cool looking!!!!  Now I have to sit down and make my quill feathers with the pen nibs....Anyone looking to order them let me know.

Give-away-winner...

Well, it appears only two people 'entered' my give-away by posting comments, and rather than do the "enny, menny, minny, mo"  thing, both Lynn and Chris will recieve a bottle encapsulating the meaning of their name.  Please email me (qltdbrush@cs.com) with your address so I can get them out to you.  Please give me a couple of weeks to get them completed.  Thanks to both of you for following me.

"Just a Note..."

"just a note"....3 dimensional viginette for you prim table or desk. An ink bottle (empty) sits atop vintage papers, photos, and postcards along with a quill pen. The bottle is attached to the papers for easy movement, pen is free standing so you can place it in the bottle if you would like.

Its Give Away Time....

It's Feburary and time to do a give away again.  A name will be randomly chosen later this month to recieve one of my personalized bottles, "Celebrate You".  The outside of the bottle has your name, a vintage image and some antique 'bling'.  The cap is removable to reveal strips of paper with the meaning, origin,etc. of your name.  The drawing will be later this month and drawn from those that leave comments.  You can enter (comment) more than once to increase your chances of winning!!!  Bottle shown is sample...it is my mothers bottle.

Letters Written

Another addition to my etsy site.  This bottle focuses on the dead art of lettering writing.  The bottle is embellished with a vintage letter, cancellation stamps, postage stamps.  Hanging from the chain is photo of her beloved to whom she is writing to, vintage pen nibs, an old pencil, vintage buttons and beads.
