Oh, Josie! Your teapot is ready! Lol, I just listed this special order in my handmade shop, <a href="http://www,cottonridgeemporium.etsy.com/" target="_blank">CottonridgeEmporium</a>. Josie saw this teapot in my sold items and asked that I paint one just for her. I sure do hope she likes it 'cause I had fun painting it!<br />
<br />
If you see something in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CottonRidgeEmporium/sold?ref=shopinfo_sales_leftnav" target="_blank">sold items</a> just drop me a note and I'll be happy to do my best to recreate it just for you. <br />

Did you miss me? Several days ago I decided to not renew my .com domain name with my provider and to look for a cheaper alternative. Found one right away and started the transfer. Then my .com disappeared for 3 days. I guess it went pretty smooth considering. I'm just glad it was only 3 days. Anyhow, I'm back now and at a cheaper rate!<br />
<br />
So here's what's new at Cottonridge Vintage:<br />

You can see from the photos it has a few small age holes. They look like they are burns from sparks to me. There are also some places where someone wrote on it in ink. They're pretty faded now but are still visible (enlarge the photos to see them). </div>

You may know by now that I love the images and ideas you can find from around the world by browsing the internet. Recently, in my net travels, I came across this lovely vintage display as part of a New Year's celebration. If you love it as much as I do you can find two of the pieces needed to recreate the look in my shop</div>

A wonderful 1800s Victorian style quadruple silver butter dish with its etched dome lid would be a lovely fill in for the candy dish. You don't need to mortgage the house to own it either.</div>

I love the old turquoise step stool. Its wonderfully distressed and is showing some of the red paint that was its original color in the back. The little footstool is a gem, too.<br />

See the little dog, he's a keeper. I know he's a likeness of Spuds McKensie (sp?), but to me he looks very much like my little granddog, Monkey. He's even the same size! And the lovely cake stand is a birthday gift for my dear Aunt. (Shhh! Don't tell her.) All the other pieces are going in my shop.<br />

Including some lovely old English china and some blue onion.<br />

That's for me!)I go to a local auction once a week. I'm a regular with a permanent number and a reserved seat, lol. The aucioneer knows my number even if I don't raise it! There are a lot of regulars and when I bid on something I can pretty much tell you who I'll be bidding against based on the type of item it is, but the hardest part of auctioning is restricting myself to buying for my shops. There are soooo many things that are perfect for my taste, or just the right price for an addition to my project list. Here a couple I could not resist...<br />

This one is on my project list. Won't it make a great hall tree! Well, the front hall is as far as it's gotten so far. I did find an old oak table that I will be using for its shelf, but right now it's in the upstairs bedroom serving as my table for photo shoots, lol.<br />

Luckily I'm attracted to things that I can usually put together on my own and, lord knows, I have enough of everything to do just that. Some people I know have always been fond of telling me "You'll buy <em>anything</em>!". You know what, they're right, anything that's old or cheap enough or that I want enough! <br />
<br />
One of the things I've been attracted to lately is any type of cloche. I know, you've seen then all, but I wanted to make some! So here's my first <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz4Y6RWwRGyrvJI1L8-JYuJnRw4D-F_LpfBPZqO1s2YRiCMIzr1uGWMOsp8D2ODPEzU2ETqwQwYO-hG9gnkBh811a53mWa2vvUnGI6kBkTkH2HG4064PkkCX8i788saYO8NqqURQumw3I/s1600/3351a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz4Y6RWwRGyrvJI1L8-JYuJnRw4D-F_LpfBPZqO1s2YRiCMIzr1uGWMOsp8D2ODPEzU2ETqwQwYO-hG9gnkBh811a53mWa2vvUnGI6kBkTkH2HG4064PkkCX8i788saYO8NqqURQumw3I/s320/3351a.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Isn't it great? An old vase and an old glass doorknob. Doorknobs are another of those things that attract me for some reason or other. And since I had started with the epoxy I put together all those old plates and glass candlesticks I've been collecting. You know once you start with that stuff it's use it or loose it. So I used it on this...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
