vintage button wreath

I dove in my vintage button stash on Saturday to make this heart wreath.  I have jars and jars of buttons that are just waiting for me to use them!  I wrapped the wreath form in vintage laces and accented with vintage ivory pearls.

I used more lace to hang it along with a white seam binding bow. I might have to make another one for myself!!

You can find it available here.

I wanted to introduce our new jewelry line that can be found here!

I've been into natural and earth tones lately, and it's reflected in my new jewelry pieces. 

Most can be found on etsy, I'm still adding them on there...

I know it's been awhile since I posted last, but I do have 2 good reasons why...

One is because hubby and I took a vacation to the Caribbean, taking a week long vacation. We visited Key West, Grand Cayman, and Ochos Rios. We had a blast and it was much needed!!

The second reason is that I was getting things ready for a show I am going to be in this weekend!

It runs for 4 days, so I've heard it's a pretty big show! If you live in the area, be sure to stop by!

I'll post photos of my booth this weekend.

If anyone needs direction give me a call!!

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.

Some can be found in my Etsy shop :)
