Change to VMB website.

For a while now I have been thinking of closing my website down due to family commitments but it seems such a shame after Cathy from AVALON ROSE DESIGN designed such beautiful graphics for it which I love so very much. So after talking to my husband I have decided to make it an online portfolio for my china mosaics. I do love making my mosaics but my family comes first as my beautiful son Jake is only 7yo and I want to make the most of his childhood as well as spend more time with my wonderful husband Cane and other family members. I am very happy with my decision and this does not mean I will not be offering my mosaics anymore, it means I will be listing them on eBay when available. Life is too short and for this reason I have choosen my family over business. Thankyou for all your support and understanding.



A favourite memory of my son Jake and I at my 30th Birthday this year.

Beautiful Vintage Glass Flower Drops



Lately I have been obsessed with chandeliers and this post is no different. I found the most beautiful vintage glass chandelier flower drops and have them now available on MY EBAY AUCTIONS. Mind you I will be keeping a few for myself as I just love them! I added a few to my bedroom chandelier as you can see below. So very pretty and pink!

Capodimonte Chandelier Lamp

In my last post I spoke about how I wanted to buy a chandelier to pop on a stand in my spare room but sadly missed out on the one I was bidding on. Fortunatly yesterday I found this beauty and knew I had to have it for that little odd corner I wanted to fill in my spare room. This chandelier lamp features the most beautiful and rare Capodimonte stem with cobalt blue, white, gold gilding and best of all pretty pink roses. Simply stunning and everything I love for my home.



Cascading crystal swags and beautiful ornate brass fixtures.


This would have to be the feature of the whole piece which makes this chandelier lamp so very rich and regal.


Beautiful hanging crystals suspended on rare vintage milk glass bobeches.

I just love when I find something that is so very special!

What a Chandelier!!!

Lately I have been collecting alot of rhinestone clocks to add to my collection, I found a really pretty one at SHABBYFORME and decided I would take a look at the other items on offer. Well, Sharron had some wonderful vintage treasures but this is the most beautiful and outstanding chandelier I have ever seen and just needed to share it with everyone.




What a chandelier!!!


Full of sparkling colourful beads suspended on vintage chain!



The most wonderful cameos incased by pink, green and blue coloured rhinestones!



What a dazzler with the lights on!

I really wanted to display this in my home but was sadly outbid...oh well...I will just have to keep my eyes open a little more but I will never forget this wonderful treasure in my life. I would like to thank Sharron for the use of her beautiful photos, please drop by and see her latest listings at SHABBYFORME. I am sure you will love them!

New Vintage Treasures on eBay

I have been doing a big clean out home due to renovating and have decided to list some more of my beautiful vintage treasures. I can not belive I am letting go of some of them but you can not keep everything so I am told by my dear husband! I thought I would share some of my favs with you all below.



This vintage ballerina is so very cute!!! Her tutu is even that beautiful rainbow lustre...so very sweet for that special little girls room.


I have been holding on to this glass english comport for ages now and never used it as i have so many cake plates and comports. I have never seen one like this before...very french inspired! Sorry but the little cakes are not included but can be purchased from Kimberly at MY PINK BOUTIQUE.


Well, this vintage glowmesh bag is such a stunning set as you can see from the photo and in new condition as it has never been used and still has the tag attached...again I thought I would display it somewhere but it never seems to happen...


And last but not lest by far is one of my beautiful rhinestone clocks which I have an addiction collecting...I just LOVE them!!! I will make sure I add some pics of them a little latter down the track once things calm down with all the renovating at home.

As I have been busy with my home, my mosaics have been put on hold but I can not wait to get back into it soon.
