Salt of the Earth Pink Tree




This tree is in my booth at the Calico Craft Mall. I had it there for Christmas, but planned on leaving it in my booth for Valentine's Day. I made up a dozen or so ornies by putting fake snow in salt shakers and then putting part of a scripture verse on them regarding the "Salt of the Earth". I've sold four or five and had some left so why not see if I can push them for other times of the year.




The owner of the booth asked to put in in the front window to go with her Pink and Red theme. Well, since I have a LOT of pink in my booth, she took about 10-12 of my items for her front of store/window display. What a compliment, but now I've got to get busy making and painting more pink stuff for my own booth! What a problem to have, eh?

  7. Love the salt of the earth salt shakers...great idea. You have great talent and it shows by being featured in the store front window!
    My condolences to your family in the home going of your father-in-law. Holidays are hard times without our loved ones...we just lost my brother 12/26/09 after a 7 yr. struggle. May God bring sweet memories and comfort to you.

  8. When I first glanced at the tree, I thought it was like one I did. After reading about it, it is different. I had a small green tree and I decorated it with the small AVON bottles from years ago...they were hung with white ribbon I tied around the top...brought back memories....

Doesn't this look so cool the way the light filters through the tiny holes and then out the top?
