Vinyl Lettering on Plates & Glass Cubes

I LOVE these!!! I especially like the
way the Vinyl Lettering looks on these
plates..The gold & the red are so classic..

I love the sayings as well.

(In the photo below) it shows the

Nativity & Wise Men still seek him..

& what it looks like with little white lights

behind the cubes..

The photo following that..shows it

without lights...a different type of

atmosphere.

Below are some of the 1/2 glass cubes with specific

words on them...This is the year of POLKA-DOTS..

Fun loving bright colors with Polka-Dots....

I LOVE them!!!! They are fun to do....I have

Cutie-Pie Aprons for little girls/Adults...&

Cutie-Pie Bows...& now Polka-Dot ribbons w/

Glass Cubes... These Polka-Dots are contagious!

I could totally see moms getting them for young

women...for birthdays, graduation, Christmas.

They are a great gift for any occasion...or just

for yourself... a daughter-in-law,sister,aunt,

grandmother...the ideas are endless!!!

For the FAMILY...That is one of the Main Themes

for this Boutique..These would look great in a

FAMILY ROOM, Living Room, Study...really

any room in the house...

Come check these out along with a wide

assortment of other Home decor items @

Santa's Gift Shoppe Boutique...Dec.4th & 5th.
