Relative bounty
October 23, 2011A few weeks ago I bought a tiny brass bottle at an estate sale. Two inches tall, heavy and stoppered, it looks like something a genie might live in – a really teeny genie, who can grant only very, very small wishes.
Like say you wish for a million dollars, a long and healthy life, and true love. But all the genie can give you is a quarter off the sidewalk, a good night’s sleep, a smile from a stranger.
But you’d rub the bottle anyway, right? These days, you’d take those slivers of luck and feel grateful.
Here are a few of my recent wishes. I hope you enjoy. (Click the images for more.)

May 19, 2010Here’s a confession: I have trouble throwing certain things away. I’m particularly fond of containers – nice jars and bottles, clever boxes, painted tins. Supposedly there’s something Jungian about this. . . I don’t really want to know.
Nevertheless, it’s a relief to have found a use for some of my stash. These cute little pendants can light up the dark corners of a hoarder’s habitat – or soul – while leaving you feeling virtuous about consumption. (You can even use a CFL inside, if you feel so inclined.)

I can make these to order if you have tins you’d like repurposed. Contact me or visit my Etsy store for more information or to purchase.
