I'm a Big Fan of Lollies. . .

Rosettes, fans, or lollies, whatever you want to call them;

I am in love!

 

Yup, I'm a big fan of lollies, (which is the word that I choose to call them.)  Don't they look just like big lollipops to you?

 

 

I often use them in my crafting.  They are a fun addition to almost any craft.  I've used them a lot in banners.

 

I have a fun little contraption that makes them a bit easier to make.

 

But I actually bought these large ones at a local shop called, Retro Betty's.  It is owned by the daughter of one of my friends.

 

I layered some of the lollies and then added the vintage images that came with the set.

 

I used the sticky circles that came with them to add them to a black vintage window I had.  Years ago I modge podged the newspaper pennant border along the top.  They kept falling, so ended up hot gluing them to the window.

 

I thought my black and white witch and moon and star banner was the perfect addition!

 

 

I added a black glittery branch and tucked stars in here and there.

 

 

The tarnished tea set was a thrift find.  Perfect for a witches tea!  This pumpkin had an eerie feel to me and fit perfect in the silver pedestal.  This is when I prefer my silver tarnished.

 





This was one of the quickest mantles I have ever put together.  May just be one of my favorites as well.  :)

 



 

How about you,  Do you love lollies?

 



 

The hearth is decorated with the 'spooky' urn arrangement I made with craft group #1 last year and a pillow I

 made many moons ago.  lol!

 



On the other side of the fireplace is my 'party animal' crows having a hay day on my old type writer and a silly skelly I bought at Glitterfest in CA last week.

 



 

Only a little more than a week till the hauntingly fun day is here!

 

hugs,

Jann
