the living room

Here's a another look at my living room. It's still a work in progress, more projects I want to complete.  


The lamp on the top of the bookcase I got at a sale for only $6, the little roses on the base are so pretty.  The shades a little plain, so I thought I would add some ruffles I won in a giveaway on Vintage Bella Studio's blog. 
Thanks for all the goodies you sent me!

Here's a another look at my living room. It's still a work in progress, more projects I want to complete.  

I had a couch cover in my sunroom that I moved into this room. I also had some black furniture pieces that I bought from Pottery Barn a couple of years ago moved to our family room. I wanted this room bright and have the shabby look to it.  I added some new pillows and ones that I made to the couch.  And to make it complete I put my bargain of a quilt over the back of the couch. 

hope you enjoyed another look at my house. more to come :)

new vintage inspired jewelry



I created some new jewelry pieces for the shop. I've had some vintage style charms for awhile and been wanting to make something with them.


I really liked how they came out. Very simple and chic. Right now there is only the bracelet and the necklace in the shop.

But...

In the weeks to come I will launching a new jewelry line in my etsy shop. All kinds of pretty and vintage inspired items coming your way!

mini collages

I started making these collages this past weekend. I had so much fun making these little hangings.  I got all of my vintage trim and laces together and matched them with the picture I was using.
I like the detail a lot on this one, the pearls, lace and trims go along with the French paper and an old photo.


This photo of this sweet little girl caught my eye; I used vintage music paper with vintage buttons.  

A couple more I made... sweet little eyelet lace.



Some of my favorite laces, aqua and the intricate ivory.
