Hello all! It's sneak peek time again here at Words and Pictures.
This time I'm hoping to tempt you over to Calico Crafts where I've been having a lovely time creating a rusty rustic garden - all in a printer's tray!
I hope you'll enjoy your garden perambulation if you hop over to take a look, and I'm hoping to enjoy some blog-visiting in the next couple of days before things get completely bonkers here...
Update - since the Calico Crafts blog is no more, these links now let you see the whole project here at Words and Pictures.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Many things grow in the garden that were never sown there.

A tiny favour...
This request goes out to anyone who enjoyed the dollshouse posts last month. Cestina's museum, Small Worlds, is now listed on a Czech tourism site. Somehow Cestina managed to give herself only a 3 star rating... (don't ask me!).
If you would be willing to click 5 stars to up the average to its deserved rating, then all you need to do is visit here and click the fifth star.
Thank you!!

The tray is simply brilliant, I think it has soared to the top of my favourites list - would make a great 97th birthday present and totally eclipse mine!
Thanks for the star-clicking heads-up and thanks to all who follow the request. I hasten to add that it was not me that started the rot. Jana clicked 2 stars-all too easy to get it wrong!
Happily been and clicked the stars and pleased to see it's up to 4 now! Off to see the printer's tray in all it's glory :-)

I went over and clicked the stars. It was at 4 star but still is...hope it hits 5 star soon. I have followed your Mum and her journey to establish SmallWorlds. If I ever get over there, I will definitely go to view it.

I will now pop over to see your tray.

Love your fabulous printers tray! So many wonderful details Alison. I'll be happy to help Cestina up her rating. The dollhouses are such a delight and everyone should be lucky enough to see them. :)
I love that rustic style tray with its lovely collection of treasures. So pleasing to look at this one.

I so absolutely adore this piece. All the rusty bits and nature elements are so effortlessly (seems that way, anyway ;) ) displayed in this wonderful printer's tray. Love the crackle finish ... gorgeous. As I said on the Calico Crafts page, I sincerely hope you have this one displayed somewhere. It will be a bit of summer garden sunshine on your wall when the wind howls this winter. Lovely -- Mary Elizabeth
Amazing creation, Aison! Stunning details :) Love the 'window' with pear ;)
Wow wow wow absolutely gorgeous stunning creation. I love the fact you build it yourself as it's so hard to decorate the. Really love the crackle with the paper, and the inside is awesome. I have clicked the 5 star, hope I did it right, as it really does deserve it. Kezzy :-) xxx
