I have been busy creating more one - of - a - kind garlands. Loving this pastel colored one. It is already sold...yay! :) |
 |
I just love the pretty colors. What a great garland for spring! |
 |
 |
 |
Here is another one in neutral colors |
 |
| I will continue to make these as time allows and I hope to get some listed in my Etsy store soon. |
 |
I saw a garland on facebook that someone had made and it gave me the motivation that I have been needing to make one. I have been wanting to do it for a few months, but just never sat down and started before this, so start I did and am I ever glad! I am loving the way it turned out! |
 |
The sky is the limit on these fun beauties! Any color, any fabric, trim etc. long...short...old...new... |
 |
A work in progress in my dining room |
 |
How fun would these be hanging outside in the summer just because... OR ...for a garden party, in a potting shed, on a porch ...anywhere really!! :) I do believe I will be making more. I want to make a soft pastel one soon and I can't wait to see how it turns out. A few of them just might land in my Etsy shop as well so be on the lookout if you are interested. Happy Sunday! |
|
 |
Oh how I am longgggging for Spring!! YES...SPRING...full blown spring!! I know many of you are as well so here's to hoping it arrives soon!! |
 |
Today I gathered up some of my supplies and my oodles of vintage flowers and made a couple vintage flower garlands. The lighting still isn't all that great so I only have this one photo for you. Hopefully more soon. I love how it turned out. |
 |
I have held onto this fabric above for a few years and I am GOING to get something made out of it this year. I WILL...I WILL...remind me of that later will ya?? :) |
 |
Stashes of my gorgeous lace that I had to share with you when I saw how pretty it looked stacked up all together. This is a drop in the bucket of what I have and I love it all. |
 |
More laces and doilies...in LOVE...Happy Spring my dear friends even though it has not arrived here yet...hopefully soon. If we keep thinking that, it just may arrive and surprise us all!! |
 |
I have been told to get on the ball and post something...anything...so here we are. I was wandering around the house today and thought I would take some photos of my vintage shutter in my bedroom. |
 |
I added this glittter slipper ornament and lace a week or so ago... |
 |
...and today I added this flower garland that I made a few years ago... |
 |
...yep , I tend to hold onto things forever. Maybe it is time to make a new one? |
 |
I shot from this angle and that angle... |
 |
...up high... |
 |
...down low... |
 |
| ... and every which way. ha! |
 |
Sorry if you are a bit overwhelmed with all the pics... I have been overwhelmed for days, but I think there is a light at the end of the tunnel...it is barely flickering , but I can see it!! |
 |
...and I am trusting God to work all things out. So thankful that I have Him to lean on in troubled times. God is good...all the time! |
 |
| I did a little after Christmas shopping one day last week and found these adorable white frosted pine and bell garlands so I purchased the last two @ 50% off. |
 |
| I hung them on my chippy white shutters and took a few pictures. I do love taking pictures. :) |
 |
| Don't you just love the simplicity ? I do. |
 |
| I was thinking that these would make neat postcards or notecards. What do you think? I may check into that. Praying that whatever is going on in your life right now, that you are at peace and have love and joy in your heart. If by chance you are going through hard times, please don't give up...there is always hope. |
 |
| ...for the holidays? For all the hustle and bustle, happy people, cranky people, the extra lbs. packed on from all the holiday goodies, finding that perfect gift, busy stores with people bumping and jostling, |
 |
| I am not. Seems like the older I get the faster it seems to arrive each year. Since we have simplified our gift giving it is not nearly as stressful as in years past, but I am still not ready. We are having Christmas with our children and grandchildren at Thanksgiving so I guess I better get ready huh? It is only 16 days away! |
 |
| I need to start wrapping gifts for the grands and just get in the Christmas mood. Maybe some fa-la-la music would help? |
 |
| Yes, the celebrating is just around the corner...reminds me of an old game ... ready or not...here |
 |
| I had to show you some of my recent finds. Aren't these the neatest old suitcases ever...AND they are WHITE! :) |
 |
| Haven't figured out yet which room they will end up in , but for now they are just sitting on the floor in the dining room. |
 |
| One has a blue lining and one has RED! Not so fond of red, but at least it is inside. ha! |
 |
| This is a must have for all of us who love to create. Guess where I found it?? No ...not Hobby Lobby, or Michaels or any other craft store. TJ Maxx!! Can you believe it? It was only $1.99 for this large size. I am just tellin' ya so you can check out your TJ Maxx stores if you so desire. |
 |
| I purchased three of these old white chippy shutters a few weeks ago and am thinking I need to go and get the other three that I left behind. I am going to do great things with these just you wait and see. lol My blogger jumbled my photos again so they are not in the right order , but such is the life of a blogger lady. {hee hee} I found the white glittery pinecone garlands at Michaels. The candle is Cranberry Fig, again from TJ Maxx and it smells wonderful! Joining Kathleen again over at Faded Charm for White Wednesday this week. |
It is another cold...brr...day in Michigan today so
Still loving this Sander tablecloth. This is the tag that is 
Thinking outside the box here. I found these crown 
This bottle was 1.50 at the antique store so I had to
snatch it. Haven't a clue what I will do with it yet.
Maybe just display??
Have you ever seen a heart bottlebrush garland? This
was at the Goodwill too with the TJ Maxx tag still
attached. It will be heading up to my booth soon.
This candle is so much prettier in person! I received one
for a Christmas gift and I found this one the other day
at the Goodwill. My first one is all used up so was tickled
to find this one. They are from Kohl's.
Oh my goodness! How in the world did this little
sweetie end up in my thrift store finds?? Well she was
NO thrift store find at all, but I would have scooped
her up had she been!! LOL
I just found these this past week. Neat silver creamer
and beautiful vintage rose plates. 50 cents each.
Vintage Iris pitcher at the Goodwill as well...
I purchased this set before Christmas. It was found at
Now I need to get busy before the whole day is gone and
