Ruby Tuesday Too - Crayola Candle

For the fun meme Ruby Tuesday Too, a celebration of the hue red, I am offering a look at a unique item. This is a jar candle surrounded by a series of crayons, many of them in variations of ruby. This was created as a gift by our daughter, obtaining her Masters in Elementary Ed. As a student teacher/intern, she made the cute candle, she made this for her fourth-grade cooperating teacher at the school where she was assigned. This is thoughtful, creative and quite ruby...

Ruby Tuesday Too - Cool can and candle craft

The always lovely Patti has created a craft that fits nicely for the meme Ruby Tuesday Too - simple and easy and here adds a nice ruby glow to any tabletop. 

Add one small tuna can, lots of spring  loaded clothes pins, a candleholder and a candle. It is not mandatory for the holder to be red - but why not?!

Our small city of Ansonia CT (pop. 19,000) is hosting a very unique series of events this year, Ansonia's Market Place. The idea is to bring people visitors to our downtown on Wednesday evenings to the lovely park/green aside City Hall. The idea is to spend a nice evening of visiting area crafters who are attending - the draw for the crafters is a No Fee policy for the season. We have enjoyed four Wednesdays of nice weather so far.

So for the fun meme Shadow Shot Sunday 2, I am showcasing the unique tea wreaths created by A Spot of Tea. Hosted by Patti Pensanti and Britney Fernandes, this artistic mother and daughter team have created a cool item that is engaging and eye catching. Given the sun and shadow, this was a great way to spend a beautiful day at Ansonia's market place...
