Strawberry Tissue Box

Here is a strawberry box to hold your square tissues.  Quilled strawberries are on three sides.  Look at more quilling at www.artbybetty.com  Quilling is sealed with polyurethane, so this would be safe in any room of our home or office.  What a neat idea for your desk, a refreshing designer touch.  Contact me through website for more information. 

 Also on my website is another square tissue box with western flavor, two sides having horseshoes and the front has a horse head.  This is a great idea for a den, office, cabin, or any western deco.   I do have more tissue boxes, but have not taken pictures, after picture taking – then posting them to the website. 

 My niece and I would raid my sister’s garden, well actually only her strawberry patch every summer and eat all the ripe strawberries right there in the garden.  My sister could not figure out what was happening to her strawberries.  Those were the best tasting berries ever, so sweet and juicy.  We would use the water hose to rinse off our hands and mouths before we went back in the house.   What delightful memories of growing up.  Gardens were always a huge part of our summer time.  Weeding, watering, but before that preparing the ground for the seeds.  But it was SO good!

Butterfly Box

Don’t you just love trinket boxes?  This box measures 3 ½” square and 2” deep, just the right size to keep rings, paper clips, thumb tacks, etc.  The designs are hand quilled and sealed with polyurethane.  Visit www.artbybetty.com to see more quilled items.  Hey, this would make a perfect gift for all butterfly lovers

 Quilling is a beautiful art that is not too well known today and it takes on many shapes.  Glass front framed pictures (of anything), free standing quilling (like chess pieces), earrings and necklaces.  Quilled jewelry is amazing lightweight and durable.  Check out the free standing butterfly on www.artbybetty.com – honestly it does look real, in fact some people have asked me if the free standing monarch butterfly is real.  Have not got them posted yet, but have some western boots earrings that are just darling. 

What is your favorite breakfast?  That seems to be a hard meal, bacon and eggs?  Heard that is not good for the body, especially the bacon.  So do we eat eggs by themselves?  Ugh. Hard boiled? Maybe but not fried. How about scrambled?  Okay but just eggs scrambled are rather bland; add green chili and tomatoes or … salsa with grated cheese on top.  Okay now we are talking about tasting good.
