vintage glass glitters are getting extremely hard to find. but there are some beautiful modern varieties availble today. the aqua version is from our friend, martha's line. and a search online will yield you a number of sources for this precious granule. i will also share a little secret...unable to throw away a gathering of sadly broken vintage mercury glass ornaments...i put them in a thick plastic bag and gave it a good once over with my ceramic rolling pin. VOILA! your very own glass glitter! so get out them pins and do some creative recycling!
this star {below} is a glass glitter variety that started out a gleaming silver and since "tarnished" to it's current bronze...a lovely trait of true glass glitter!
i have a plethora of glitters in many forms. glitter glue...glitter spray...glitter powder...oh my! the spray is a fabulous way to get a quick, subtle sparkle as seen in my handstamped ribbon {below}. it's there..squint hard!
some more vintage varieties {below} little cans of sparkle that i covet. their colorings are spectacular. (oohs here)

i created this little cutie of a charm {below} with the vintage bronze powder as seen {2 below}. i think the girls who join me at our annual "wild wimen" gathering at my home for the holidays will be tickled to see them tied to their glasses as a "marker". now...i better start on them now if i am to dream of finishing intime!
not technically a glitter...this box of vintage mica was too darn fun not to share! i love both the outside and inside contents of this "flakey" little number!
boy...how many times can one say "glitter" in a single post! + you'll likely see more mention of this personal fave! especially since the holidays create an impressive spectacle of this grainy treasure! well...i am off! time to run out the door with the hubby to work on winterizing projects. oh! did i mention my door? well...{1} last picture shows a wood letter i painted, then...what else!...glittered to greet everyone with some holiday cheer. ok! that's it. for today anyway!
hope your day is filled with ***sparkle***!
