My Spring Dream




A challenge came from Pearl, at A Storybook Life: make a creation under glass. Use anything of you own choosing. I love an assignment like this -- the only limit is imagination itself. Because I have been longing for spring (as you may have noticed, haha), I decided to use a delicate teacup strewn with violets, and some pale pastel bird's eggs. My spring dream.









Give yourself a treat, and stop by A Storybook Life to see all the wonderful "Creations Under Glass." And have a wonderful weekend, dear bloggers. :)

    p.s. we were trying to get married on July 8th, because that was the anniversary that we met, but our minister was going out of town for a month. So it was either June 30 or wait until August....

  17. Very pretty Mary! I actually had a dream last night that the big tree in our yard had turned brown for Autumn, and the leaves were all over, and I was taking photo's of them to blog about! What a crazy dream, I even dream about blogging! lol

  18. What a beautiful presentation! You definitely rose to the challenge!

    This would have been a fun challenge! I don't have a cloche or a pedestal cake plate yet. I do have 2 large pedestal jars. Hmmm...
