L.O.V.E. Giveaway

"...and now abideth faith, hope and LOVE, but the greatest of these is LOVE".

I Corinthians 13:13

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude.
 It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
 Love never ends.

I Corinthians 13: 4-8

That day when we bestow gifts upon those we love such as chocolate and
diamonds  is sneaking up on us and will be here before we know it!

To celebrate this wonderful day I will be giving away one of these love signs.

It measures approx. 12 inches long x 7.5 inches high and is covered in silver glitter.
I have added a pink ribbon rose and  ribbon hanger so it is ready to hang in your home
to celebrate that special day.

Gauze Curtains and a Gift ~

I wanted a new look for the curtains in my bathroom (without spending any money) so I got out some white gauze fabric that I had in my stash. Then I remembered these pink drapery clips that I purchased from a resale shop for a little of nothing some time ago. I had no clue what I would do with them at the time of purchase, but just had to pick them up. Now I know why. I love them with this gauze fabric. I embellished the curtain with a hand painted ribbon rose made by Erica at Meadowstreet. I adore her roses and I have several of them.

I also wanted to thank Marietta over at Sweet Old Vintage for bestowing this gift on me a few days ago. I will pass it to Lady Pamela at Lady Pamela's Cottage. I know there are others I could pass it to, but when we reformatted our computer a few days ago I lost many of my links and I am in the process of finding them all again.

THESE BLOGS ARE EXCEEDINGLY CHARMING... THESE KIND BLOGGERS AIM TO FIND AND BE FRIENDS... THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN SELF-AGGRANDIZEMENT... OUR HOPE IS THAT WHEN THE RIBBONS OF THESE PRIZES ARE CUT, EVEN MORE FRIENDSHIPS ARE PROPAGATED.. PLEASE GIVE MORE ATTENTION TO THESE WRITERS.......

Simple Lampshade Embellishment ~

Things of *BEAUTY* are to be shared and enjoyed and not hidden away ~ I was thinking today how much antique lace I have just laying in piles away from the unseeing eye and I realized I MUST get some of these out to use everyday.

This piece of lace was just the perfect size to lay around the top of my lampshade. I took a beautiful ribbon rose pin that I purchased some time ago from Meadowstreet and I pinned it to the lace. I absolutely LOVE the look ! I am finding myself drawn to more creams, taupes, and browns. They have such a calming effect on me. I think I may be moving away from so much pink...did I say that? Never thought I would! ~

Erica embellished this pin with seam binding ribbon, antique buttons and a tiny key charm...too cute!

This was just a simple embellishment , but it made a big difference in my living room. Have a beautiful day. Blessings~
