Bathroom Vanity

I love spending time in the bathroom. I dream of a room devoted to my bathtub with lotions potions and soft fluffy towels. I have searched through Etsy to bring you a few vintage inspired "necessities". I hope you love them too.

Every day should be bath day but it's not good to wash your hair every day.

Keep it water free with this vintage inspired shower cap.

Sherlock Holmes 2009 movie I can't wait

Expect to see me at the movie theater Christmas Day. I have loved the Sherlock Holmes stories since I picked up my first Sir Arthur Conan Doyle book at 10 years old. There is something magical about the time period that fills me with excitement and a little fear too. I'm sure that this along with my love for Vernian works has helped to steer me towards the steampunk side of my creations. How thrilling it would have been to have been alive in what I believe is the most important time for the inventors of the world. My great great grandfather was also an inventor and had a couple of pieces exhibited in London museums. His speciality was steam power. I may not be an inventor... yet, but I certainly let my creativity drive me.

Also if you are interested my pieces are for sale at www.lunetmuse.etsy.com

My favourite design so far

I was pondering for a long time over what to do with this beautiful piece of antique gold plated brass I had purchased. It was such a beautiful classic art nouveau design that I didn't want to detract from. The poppy looked so beautiful by itself but it needed a little something more. Finally I figured it out. See the result in the picture. If you wish to purchase it go to www.lunetmuse.etsy.com it is in my store right now.

I've been reading

So for me reading is a fun yet dangerous. I often get swept up in whatever I have read and then the creativity happens. My latest read was just an innocent magazine I picked up at Indigo. Then it happened. I found an article on glass etching. Any sane person would go to the craft store in a week or two to check out what was available, but being me I had to pick up my supplies immediately. I have now purchased a bottle of etching fluid, stickers and a practice pendant. I am so excited I am going into the kitchen after I finish writing this and I will let you know how it went. I found the idea in handcrafted jewelry but they got the idea from a book called Custom cool jewelry by Melinda Barta. She is the editor of beadwork magazine. I can't tell you the amount of times I have walked past the glass etching section but it never occured to me to use it on pendants. Thank-you Melinda especially if it turns out wonderfully.
