Somehow I forgot to show you!

I was going through my files of photos when I ran across
a few things that I scooped up this summer and somehow
they never made it onto my blog.

I was aghast! How could that be?
I am here to correct that today. lol.
Now these aren't the greatest pictures, but
you will at least get to see my lovelies.

Love this birdcage on a stand that I found later this
past summer.

Then remember this post??
I rescued this old pink table from *the barn*.
I gave her a good sanding and intended to paint
her white, but haven't gotten that done yet.
love her!

Look at the wonderful detail on the legs
and skirt around the top of the table.

All cleaned up...
Before cleaning...yes she was very dirty! :)

...and again how can we forget this post?
I also purchased this antique baby crib/buggy
for $5.00!!!!! Can you believe that price?? amazing what a person can find for not
many greenbacks.

*this is what the previous post said about this goody*

I did get another neat display item for $5.00 too that I was just as shocked about, but will share that after a coat of white paint. It has four wheels...and is so darn cute!

I realized today that I had never shown it to you
nor did I get it painted white...
what do you think??
worth the $5 I paid??

Happy Friday and wonderful weekend ahead! Blessings~

Love Is In The Air ~

I have been working on decorations this week for a bridal shower at our church next Sunday and that put me in the reminiscing mood. I wanted to share a few pictures of some of the decorating and favors that I have done in the past.
This cake was *NOT* done by me, but I just had to include it because I think it is so gorgeous!! This was the cake for my niece's wedding in 2006~
The next few pictures are of cards that I made for my neice a few weeks after the wedding. I had such fun making these cards and she loved them.
She was a gorgeous bride!
I made 150 favors of simple white boxes filled with white jordan almonds
for her wedding. We schlepped them all the way from our home in Michigan
to the wedding site in Pennsylvania.
Simple, yet elegant favors~
The 150 favors spread all over my table in the midst of tying on
ribbons and roses ~
Bird cage/candleholders that we used for my daughters wedding in 2003
and I have used them several times since for bridal decor.
These particular photos were for my daughter-in-laws bridal shower~
I put a votive candleholder in each one and then smooshed lavender tulle around it.
(I really did have the tulle smooshed down around the candle
very well so it would not catch on fire)
I put the bows on the side at the bottom of the cage instead of on top
since the candles would be lit.
Several cages on my table in the midst of being decorated ~
I enjoy decorating so much and I also love making favors etc.
It's the little *DETAILS* in life that I am drawn to.
I am in the midst of using these same cages for a bridal shower
next Sunday and when I get them all decorated
I will share them with you.
I really like how they are turning out.
The colors this time are light pink and light pistachio green...
*SO PRETTY*

Have a blessed Sunday ~
