studio time...

I have been working non stop on my "new" studio for the past 4 days and is almost complete:) I'm so excited to share it with you! It has been really nice organizing everything from scratch, and putting labels on each container.  Hopefully now I will follow what I have started!! 

Pictures soon to come!! Enjoy your week:)

vintage jewelry box

I went to a local church sale yesterday, I forgot about going on Saturday, and on my way home I was excited to see that they were open and have a $2.00 bag sale!  I found some great goodies that I am excited to use!   

I've been wanting a vintage jewelry box and I saw one sitting on the table with various pieces of jewelry, so I added the little cutie to my brown paper bag. What a deal!!

This morning I filled it with some of my collection of sparkly stones and my favorite laces.

The starburst broach in the above photo I wore on my wedding dress, it's defiantly one of my favorites!

My hubby has graciously agreed to change our office rooms with me, his is a little bigger and I am running out of space for all my crafty items in my little studio. So next week we will be working on changing the rooms around.  I am excited to be starting from scratch; arranging everything just right! Pictures will be coming in the next weeks!!

{and this little cutie will be on display}

 

busy busy busy

How time flies! It's crazy that we are almost at the end of July! 

I've been absent since May, but I am still going, busy as ever!  I started selling at another local store; and been making new things in any of my spare time.  On August 1st the store will have been open a month, and I'm very happy with the turn out! :)

This is one of the new items I have been making.  They are available at the store and in my etsy shop.

I have plans to make other sayings as well. Those will be coming soon:)

I used different vintage trims along with some vintage fabrics. 

I love how the baby one turned out! Perfect for a nursery.  :)

little wristlets

This weekend I have been making these little guys.  I wanted to make something new for the shop and the local shops I'm in, so I thought these would be cute to sell.

I have been having fun picking out the color combinations. I really liked how this yellow turned out.  I made a corsage with a vintage button for the center.  

This pink one has the black and white gingham inside and on the wristlet part. 

 

And this blue one was my first try, which turned out pretty good :) I found this beautiful fabric at a re-sell store, I just love it!

If your interested you can find some of them here.  :)

pretty finds...

i found some pretties last week at sales.  When ever I see any kind of lace at a sale, I go in and sweep it up!  I have a ever growing collection of vintage laces, I just love the intricate workings.

I also found some pretty pink floral corsage and loads of pearls. I am hoping to collect enough of them to fill a glass canister. How pretty would that be? 

how pretty...

spending some time decorating...

I finally spent some time re-decorating my home today.  I feel like I have no time to work on my house because of other things going on.  So I spent the day at some sales and fixing up the house....

I added one of my favorites... Little Women novel. I remembering watching the movie for the first time years and years ago, and I still love it today. Such a good story!

I've been wanting to neutralize the hutch for some time now.  So I gathered a bunch of whites, creams, and ivory. I wanted it simple looking.  

Loads of vintage buttons, faux birds nests, glass, lace, and mother of pearl napkins rings, among other things make up my hutch... have fun looking..... happy friday!!!:)

journaling

This past weekend I made some journals. I had some really pretty paper and ribbon that I thought would be fun looking for jounals.

I don't know why this one photo is going the wrong way... I loved all the prints together on this green journal. And I LOVE polka dots also!

A nice blue- aqua one...

More polka dots again....

This one my Mom made for the shop. Just love the little "forget me not" charm on the binding.

This paper is one of my all time favorites. Love the pink and black together. 

And the last one is this garden journal.

Some of them will be in my etsy store and others will be going to elsewhere. :)
