  1. So love the cogs under the metal tape Trace - great background! I wondered about that jar die and I like what you've done with it. The tinsel is so lovely - I might just be persuaded to buy that!
    Have a great weekend.

  9. Totally love the colours this time round - gives the metal work such an aged, burnished patina - incredibly cool! Fabulous flowers too! Not so much bats in the belfry, but bats in the bell jar - nice!!
