I have been bitten!

I know...I can't believe it myself, but the creativity bug

has finally bitten!! I actually sat down this morning

and finished up these french lavender sachets that I

started several days ago. I do love how they turned

out and they are now in my Etsy store. If you don't

do Etsy just give me a shout out. :)

{I do have more sachets than I have listed if you

need more as well}

I tend to get carried away taking photos.

I made three different styles.

I embellished them with crinkle ribbon and paper tags for a little something extra.

Little sachets all hanging out together...hee hee.

Happy Thursday! Blessings~

Beautiful lavender sachets and minor disaster

Thanking God today and every day that we live in a nation

that is still free and that we can still worship God freely as

well. I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday. We had a

cookout at my parents house {wonderful time}, but then

it was right back home as hubby is replacing a small roof

on our home and he only has a few days to do it.

{it is the roof I was on top of this past winter shoveling

off!}

Speaking of the roof we had a small disaster that I will get to

in a bit, but before that...

I promised to show more of these beautiful lavender

sachets awhile ago and today is a perfect time.

I purchased these gorgeous pieces from

the bathing boutique

at the Flint Farmers Market.

They were made with vintage linens

and then embellished with printed images of beautiful victorian ladies.

I love each and every little detail.

hand stamped ribbon along with a rosebud

made out of fabric

They now reside on my bedpost and I love them there.

I also wanted to share a favorite shelf in my bedroom.

Can you believe it is chippy white? lol

Can never have too much of a good thing!

Believe it or not it is almost time for White Wednesday

again so be sure and visit Kathleen over at Faded Charm.

I am one tired grandma today. I had my little Ainsley

and Annika today while our youngest son helped hubby

with the roof. Never knew I could wear green beans

so well! ha! Ainsley loves to bat the spoon out of my

hand when I am feeding her. Yep...green bean

covered grandma here. :)

Now on to the disaster part of our roofing project.

As I said our youngest son has been helping and

yesterday he fell through the ceiling of my studio!

{rather his leg fell through}

I heard a terrible crash, went to investigate

and found a gaping hole. I started picking up

nails, a hammer, brackets and pieces of the ceiling

that had fallen down into the room.

I figured all was well and that it was just a misstep.

Then through the hole I hear my son moaning so

I ran outside and found him laying on the roof

just groaning and holding his head.

I yelled and asked if he was okay and really

didn't get an audible answer from him so I ran

to find my husband who was in the shop getting

some wood. I told him our son was hurt and he

dropped it and ran. LONGER story short...

son will be okay , but when he fell his one

leg went through the ceiling and the other

leg twisted behind him. Of course it had

to be his bad knee that he hurt at work a few

months ago. I felt so bad for him. His hip is also

sore, but all in all I am very thankful that it

wasn't worse!! He was here today again and

helped for several hours and thankfully no

mishaps today.

...and how was your weekend? :)

Everyone needs a little black bra...*blush*

Don't you think so??

I picked up this little black bra

on an outing a year or two ago.

When I laid eyes on it again today I thought

*hmm...blog post?* so here she is!

Isn't she so cute? Problem is...she just doesn't quite fit!

She came in a box that is 2 inches x 6 inches, but I love her anyways. {straight from Home Goods gals}

Love these vintage slips that I picked up here and there

for $1.00 each.

Just love the ruffles on the white one.

Beautiful pastel aqua and white.

Wonderful vintage lace.

I have a sneaking suspicion that they don't fit either.

But that's okay! I bought them for their beauty.

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you have a

blessed weekend ahead~

A little time for creating ~

I finally made this little Christmas goodie from a

tutorial that I purchased from Dawn at

The Feathered Nest quite some time ago.

Isn't it sweet ?

I also made some more dried lavender sachets

in the theme of the season ~

they are in my Etsy shop now

you can click here to visit

Notice the pine in the photos? The day finally came...

they trimmed our trees.

they look very sad now.

they literally cut the whole side off

of one tree so only half the tree

is left.

I asked them to save the pine

from our tall pine tree

for me to use and not put it

in their shredder ~

Have a wonderful Thursday.

Shabby is Still Chic ~

Remember when

Shabby Chic

first came out several years ago...

I own two GENUINE shabby chic items

purchased back then.

One is this box of matches

{as you can see it is still unopened...how silly is that}

I also adore my enameled antique hand held mirror with

gorgeous pink roses.

Can't forget the pretty little vintage sachet either ~

I purchased this Shabby Chic tote a few years ago on ebay

and I am sure you all know how when you really want something

you can get caught up in *auction fever*...that was me!

I didn't over pay, but I thought it was much larger than it

actually is. I vowed to pay attention from then on. {lol}

I do love it though ~

The fabric is so beautiful and the colors are so soft ~

Tell a loved one today how much you love and appreciate them.

Life is short even at the longest~

Blessings~
