Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Today I have another tag for Sandie's challenge at Tag Tuesday
This is one of the few stamps I have with a sea-side theme, and I have used it year for year. Here I have done a lot of stitching, and made a beach from torn paper. The sun is an ornament from some shoes I had more than 20 years ago - they have long since gone, but I kept the suns!




And I have more pictures from our beautiful glass museum.
Some modern pieces:








And lots of antique glass from the Romans, Phoenicians and Islamic cultures:















I'll be back on Monday!

Have a happy weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

    Have a great weekend! I love that you used the suns from an old pair of shoes. What a wonderful way to reuse something. :) Awesome! So many beautiful glass pieces. I especially love the block of glass with all the rainbow colors.

    Hope you have a happy and safe weekend! :)

    Wonderful art piece Valerie, love the stamp you have used. The zig zag stitching gives a different look too. That museum has some amazing glass. The colours in some of the modern pieces are beautiful.

    If you have to have one ocean stamp, that is a good one to have. That is a super tag and the vintage lady is a nice addition. And I enjoyed the modern glass, but I have to say the ancient glass is really more my cup of tea. It is amazing how it survived and can still be so beautiful. Enjoy the start of your weekend. Hugs-Erika

    Good Morning Val! Hope you have slept well. Love the tag, it's so bright and full of sunshine, makes me want to be by the sea! Great photos from the museum, too, I must visit there again sometime. Have a great weekend, we're off to visit mum after breakfast, perhaps we'll all go to the park. Hugs, Sarah

    Do I understand well that for Tag Tuesday remains the same theme, or word Monday chosen a new theme?
    Glass has always fascinated me (of course not the glass from the window! LOL) and I have all kinds of pots in different colors, but the museum pieces are fascinating!
    Wishing you a great weekend! Enjoy the sun and the nice weather! Hugs!

      The theme at Tag Tuesday changes every 2 weeks, so still plenty of time! The glass is indeed fascinating. Enjoy your weekend!

    What a gorgeous tag, so bright and cheerful to see on a foggy morning in coastal west Wales. I adore that stamp, the colours are perfect, and the stitching just finishes it all off nicely. I have boxes of bits and bobs that I have collected, like a magpie, over the decades.

      Thanks Deb. Lucky you to live near the sea. I have the Rhine here, which is good, but not the same as the coast! And as for those boxes of bits and bobs that fill them up, I think we all do that. I had a big purge recently, and a lot of my hoard had to go, but there's still too much! Have a wonderful weekend, take care!

    Good morning Miss Valerie: You kept shoe ornaments for twenty years? Please sit down while we undertake your psychological assessment. Clinical assistants are standing by with large nets in case remedial therapy is not successful. Each time you give us glimpses of your apartment it always looks so clean and tidy, well-organized with books and agreeable objets d'art, but perhaps it is but a cover for a stash of hidden "treasures" from the past! Your resolve to throw away scraps by the end of June has taken on a whole new meaning! Have a lovely weekend with nice walks, even in the rain if need be, with good coffee. I will look forward to new creations and words of wisdom on Monday.

      Bon jour David! Yes, I keep things for many years, just like that, and you are right to question my sanity, I do that on a daily basis, mostly without finding an answer. I have just been painting a couple of my heads, does that help the assessment?! All shall be revealed, but not yet. The weather here is nice, so today should be a dry walk. Good job, too, as I washed my raincoat....Have a wonderful weekend, take care!

    The beach will be the place to be this week as it's supposed to be very hot and humid for most of the week (yay!) Your bathing beauty has picked out a nice spot for herself or is she die Lorelei? Love that sun. The ancient glass pieces are amazing. What stories could they tell? Enjoy your weekend

    Once again I'm late to the party. Your tag is amazing. I LOVE the double stitching. It is awesome and you sew such even stitches, too. Of course, the images are great and DO remind me of what I think when I think of the beach.

    I always LOVE modern anything and that glass is awesome. One of the heads was a bit scary, though. I also really enjoyed seeing the ancient glass. It's incredible that the colors have stayed so vibrant over the ages. I'm really LOVING the glass in this museum, dear.

    Hope your eye is better. Mine is not so good.
