More Etsy!

Some of you know that I have 3 shops on Etsy. I run a  finished mosaic shop called Memories in Mosaics,  a mosaic supply shop called Memories Mosaic Supply, and a vintage shop called Memories of Yesterday.

I am currently running a 20% OFF Sale in my supply shop. It is on everything in my store so if you know anyone who uses dish tiles, half vases or focals please let them know.

Here are a few items from there.

My vintage store  really didn't get up and running until my sons started adding merchandise they found at estate sales. Some great buys to be had.

Here are a few pieces of what you will find when visiting MemoriesofYesterday.

Until Next Time :)

Customer's Photos of Custom Mosaic

Doing a custom mosaic is always a challenge because you have so many variables going on, such as colors, patterns and overall design that you just hope what you have in the end is what your customer wants.

Thankfully this mosaic was a take-off from one I had in my shop.  The size changed as did the dish tiles and some of the coordinating pieces,  but the overall design was the same.

My customer wanted a large mirror for her bathroom.  This one finished out at 28" x 32" with a 22" mirror in the center.  Fortunately I was able to purchase such a large mirror at an IKEA store.

I just got the photos in my email today from this custom  mosaicI did several months ago.  The woman was pregnant and her baby was due the following month so she was rather busy.

Here are the photos she sent to me.

What's New?

 Since I didn't sell much at my craft fair I have quite a number of new mosaics in my shop and I thought I would share them in my post today. 

Like most online sellers I am always trying to figure out what people want in the way of design, colors and overall appeal.  My new pieces are a variety of all of these and I plan to continue making more for the upcoming Christmas season.

I am happy to say that this one has sold!



I call this one" Caribbean Contemporary" because of the blue and yellow wavy pattern of the dish tiles I used.



An adorable little plant stand



Another contemporary I call "Cafe Latte" due to the rich brown colored brown tiles and the  creamy beige glass gems in this one



This one isn't mine.  My husband made this mask from a palm frond leaf from our yard

My daughter made this funky fun photo frame

Sort of an abstract that my husband says looks like a man with a yo-yo.
