happy dance
because
today's artist is
Jan Blough from
silhouette pieces
Each object is cut by hand and matched
to 18th or 19th century paper,
which she uses as background.
Her designs include
framed pieces, beveled glass ornament
and jewelry
She is the type of person you just want to
HUG!
{so warm and lovable}
Jan was so generous to donate 2 pieces
that I popped into my suitcase
just for you
She let me pick any beveled glass ornament I wanted
and so I thought this
lovely little bird silhouette would be perfectly suited
for a bluebird notes giveaway
this little glass bottle with a vintage brass tag
and papers is the other adorable piece
So go ahead visit her shop here
leave me a comment on what you absolutely love
plus

if you follow me... tweet...face book or post about my giveaway
