{My Old-Time Spun Glass Halloween Ornaments}

For almost two decades I am in possession of five special old-time spun glass halloween ornaments. They are from D. Blümchen & Company ←(click it) in New Jersey. Created using lacquered Dresden (Germany) die-cuts with a black cat of 4.5" diameter and a spider in cobweb measuring 3". The ornament showing in the hyperlink is only 2.5" in diameter and at a price of $ 32.00.

This is my very modest but unique Halloween decoration...

See D. Blümchen's other ornaments in: Halloween Shop ←click it.

Before hanging my treasured cobwebs inside  the bay window of our kitchen, I did clean away the 'natural' cobwebs on the outside by washing my windows outside and inside.

How do you like our double cascade pink petunias from Walmart?

After all the summer heat they're still blooming inside our white fiberglass window boxes, which also do come in hunter green and satin black. Look at Flower Framers of Cincinnati ←(click it) and check under Product Details .

Clean window with its Corian window sill from the inside. Will show the hand crocheted rose curtain another time in detail...

 

Here are my two different treasures!

It was still 81°F or 27°C when I took these pictures at 5:00 PM!

{MY CLOSET LOOKS LIKE A NEAT STORE}

On July 21, I did install the first Shelf Dividers into my closet. We all seem to struggle with Wardrobe Solutions and for keeping a neat stacked shelf in our closets. After doing laundry, folding things and putting them back on the shelf - one stands there and looks at the jumbled mess after you have taken out certain items to wear...
Neat stacks just topple.

BUT I was lucky to find this great solution; at Solutions Catalog!

SHELF DIVIDERS in Chrome Finish

They slide onto the shelf and are just high enough for keeping a stack from toppling.

Neatly stacked by color, looking almost like a neat store; except my items have no price tag...!☺

 I only had ONE problem, I loved them that much that I had to order more!

These built in closets are quite the norm here in the USA; they open with two folding doors for easy access. Our doors are the Charleston style, just like we have the doors in our bedrooms, bathrooms and also the solid oak indoor window shutters from Historic Windows in Virginia. Too bad they are no longer available, so we're lucky for having them. 

OF COURSE I WOULD AS A  CONSULTING SERVICE RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO A FRIEND!
