Glass Teacups

I admired Martha's jewelry

with tea cups so I decided to try

matching up some of my creations

Martha does a much better job

these teacups

came in the thrift store

when I manged it

for the theater

I thought this blue was so pretty

I've thought abt making candle holders out of them

but I'm still up in the air abt it

The following house is for sale $148k

If you're looking for a home

 with character and options, look no further.

 Being built in the 1800s, this home is a fortress. 

So many wonderful features which are true to this

 era of a home to include the original ornate woodwork, 

grand oak staircase, many transoms

, wrap around porch, beveled glass doors, 

and some stained glass windows, and the list goes on.

 This property has an efficiency apartment

 with its own galley kitchen and own entrance,

 so you can have a tenant to help 

with your mortgage payment OR open the apartment

 up to have more square footage for your own family.

 An approx. 2000 square foot carriage house 

with a 3 bay garage for off street parking is included.

 This property is amazing and is a must see.

 It needs work, however, recent improvements

 include gutters, downspouts, roof, sheeting,

 water heater, newer boiler, and Gilkey windows

 (all but 4) 2 Blocks from downtown Tipp City,
