I am always happy to have you visit me for a moment and I hope those of you who make a corsage will send me a pic of the finished project - I would LOVE to see them!<br /><br />I am happy to have those back who "lost" me and happy to have the "regulars" and welcome to the newcomers!<br /><br />I have been away doing a fantastic project that I can't wait to share - out of town a lot and working very long hours.

I love your ideas!!<br /><br />I thought of the pillar candle idea and was going to use one, but did't have the right size candle on hand and was short on time to run out and buy one - great minds.... :-)<br /><br />And another use? Slide over a wine bottle when giving as a hostess give when arriving for a dinner party! Decorate with a vintage wine label, velvet grapes or leaves....<br /><br />And finally? How about on the side of a really cool hat? After seeing the royal wedding and all the hats, I kept thinking with the right baubles and feathers, and with the right hat, and sewn in the right place, it could look very chic on the right person...<br /><br />Okay, have to go now....thanks for writing.<br /><br />Oh, and as far as multi-tasking? It is way over-rated. :-) One thing at a time looks really good right now hahahaha :-)<br /><br />Love<br />EElizabeth Maxsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301271156213625334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-75075422761195644222011-05-19T08:29:32.236-05:002011-05-19T08:29:32.236-05:00BB:

The filters (very inexpensive!) can be screwed onto any lens until a macro lens can be bought. I have used them for years. One day, would love to buy Canon lens, but Sigma lens are high quality too - I think this one cost about $500 or so? Can't remember.<br /><br />I hope this helps!<br /><br />E :-)Elizabeth Maxsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301271156213625334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-49766226497953189032011-05-19T08:21:08.048-05:002011-05-19T08:21:08.048-05:00Anne!

I just posted and was checking out...Hi Elizabeth... I just posted and was checking out others this morning as I think about starting morning house chores... I loved the post as always and I have a box full of the collars.... Being a retired floral designer of 25 years my imagination just soared with your post... About 8 years ago the teens went through a couple years where they wanted ankle corsages and that was a stretch of the imaganation to create these for them... They wore tea length dresses for a couple years of which I love... I can see these being worn on the ankle with something as casual as capris or a Robin Brown type creation... Love the fact that they can be worn and uised as a display...even can view them as a pillar candle embellishemnt... Hum... Your mind always shares wonderful imagination and creation... I love your multi tasking, and I use to be able to do that and find in the last couple years I have lost that capablity.... since my heart attack I can only do one thing at a time and sometimes that is questionable... I don't know what for sure took that ability away from me, or is it is just the meds I take that I struggle for focus but whatever it is a fact that I am learning to live around... Just one more little objective way to learn to enjoy life with what you are given and what may be taken away with the key being just to enjoy.... Sending you best wishes ... I am hopng and waiting for the sun to make it appearance and add alittle energy to my battery... It has been a very different spring for many of us but oh so blessed more than the people of southern states that are devasted... There are so many things to be thankful for....Sweet Old Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02307788288548257588noreply@blogger.com
