It’s no sensitive subject, but a special occasion, indeed. The Easter Bunny came back  with a delivery of our traditional Golden Cascarones Confetti Eggs, with which we encourage you to use in cracking open a little “Eggstra Special” flare in your Spring Celebrations. Offered in bundles of three Confetti Eggs for $5.00

As well, we are delighted to present this year’s Limited Edition Hand Blown Gilt Egg Collection Design:

Inspired by my Gran and her rustic taste in fine jewelry, this year’s 2010 Hand Blown Gilt Egg  is hand gilded with 22Karat Genuine Gold Leaf and preciously adorned with a playful band of Freshwater Pearls. Each is numbered with its chronology within the collection out of 50 eggs and signed by the artist. $12.50 each

Great for a unique gift, or simply add to your own collection… In any form, as with all our resident designs, we hope the 2010 Spring Gilt Egg Collections not only brings you delight in it’s sight, but also reassures the significance of our theme, “Quality of Life”, that this art is meant to represent:

To enjoy a Balanced life, to indulge in it’s Luxuries!

~Welcome to The Gilt Studio, where our Gilt is your Pleasure!

I was collection samples of AstroTurf for an art project at Home Depot… Who knew there even existed so many styles from which to choose?! Samples are offered as 4″x4″ Squares pre-cut cut for you to take home. Once I did, not only did I find that the samples worked well in material choosing for my project, but the samples themselves ended up working for me in turn… As Coasters!

Slightly quirky in action, they make everyone stop and chuckle at second thought, and even more so when balanced in an elegant application. These “Cost Free Coasters” make for great last minute or resourceful gifts, as well as fun table decorations.

Supper Bowl Party, or Host’s Thank You Gift for the Sporting Season?! Ladies Luncheon in the Spring?! Just for Fun?! To further accessorize, hot-glue on a small silk flower in one corner for the “Ladies”, or a Miniature Golf Ball for the “Gents”? You may also take this theme to the next step and buy a larger piece of AstroTurf  in order to cut impromptu place mats or even a table runner?! The look is lovely over a white linen table cloth.

Regardless, whatever you do… Enjoy!…Haha!

P.S. Some AstroTurf Styles will frey after several uses. To prolong the life of your Cost Free Coaster, simply run a line of supper glue around the edges on the underneath side.

Tux and I wanted to let you know that he had his surgery yesterday, and the Doctor said he was an exemplary patient. We have about 7 weeks of recovery and therapy ahead if us, but are most thankful for it.

We could not have done it without such a prompt and AMAZING turnout of generosity in support, advice, and donations. We are so thankful and forever grateful. Please keep your eye on the mail, as your “Gilt T-Bone” Dogie Treat should be arriving to you shortly, as our smallest gesture of gratitude!!!!!!

Thank you everyone and we hope all is well and stays well with you!

Much love,

~Palmer and Tux…
