Teeny Tiny Vintage Cards ~

I adore most any type of vintage paper items and I just love the old cards. They sure don't make them like they used to anymore. I have a collection of teeny tiny gift cards and wanted to share some of them with you today.

Isn't this little birdie so cute along with her pink parasol and flowers~

Love this parasol trimmed with vintage lace as well~ Another adorable little bird ~

Lovely umbrella with daisies~

I want a dress and hat like this~

Just too cute~

Sweet fair maiden bringing gifts~

I have noticed a lot of the older cards have birds on them~

I hope you enjoyed my walk down memory lane. I often wonder what will become of my vintage paper ephemera when I am gone because I don't think my daughter is the least bit interested in it. Although I think my oldest granddaughter would love it! She is a *DETAIL* person like me and she is only 10 years old. (well on June 2nd she will be) She loves to make things out of paper just like I did when I was young and she is always drawing or doodling...hmm...I think I found my answer~ Blessings~

Sneak Peek at Romance ~

I decorated for a bridal shower this afternoon at our church and I wanted to give you a peek at the decor. Light green and pink were the colors ~

I decorated six of these centerpieces and embellished them with handmade tags and paper roses...love the colors and how pretty they turned out ~ A few words of *LOVE* were sprinkled about the tables along with a few rose petals in the perfect matching color ~

I used my vintage white tablecloths and lots of my vintage hankies along with antique rose berry bowls to sit the votive candles in~

Pink roses that I made out of tissue paper...three went in each centerpiece ~

Blessings to you and yours today ~

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 ~
