New Pretties!

Well Spring is here! Yippee I'm starting to work with my contractor and building my new garage/art studio so I'll be crazy busy.  Also having hand surgery so I'll have some down time, then I"m off to the Pacific Northwest on vacation and a buying trip for my sale.  When I return home I'll get busy creating some new pretties for my first ever "Vintage Pretty" Sale to be held in my new studio.  Hopefully I'll have time to visit you all and keep up in blogland. 

I'll be posting my creations for the sale over the next few months (they'll also be listed on Etsy until the sale). So here's the first, some "Jewel Keeps" to show off your jewelry collection or some other uses could be a pin cushion or you can even use it to display your favourite picture just pin it on.100_2451

And I wanted to post the lovely creations I won from the OWOH (One World One Heart) giveaway back in February).   I received a beautiful collage from Kathy, she's an amazing talent. I was a lucky gal because I also one the beautiful charm from the very gifted Deirdra. I also won the vintage mirror (pictured) part of a vanity set from Dona and I'm planning on restyling the brush into an altered art piece.  Thank you all, I will treasure my lovely prizes!

Best Antique Shopping in the USA

Need your help...quick post to ask the question, what town/city has some of the best antique shopping in the USA?  I'd like to plan a vacation and since my fav thing to do on vacation is antique shop I'd like to head somewhere with great antique shopping.  I love anything rustic, worn, torn & tattered, not the highly polished antiques.  If anyone has some suggestions please leave me a comment. THANKS!

Have a Pretty! day,

I know rice cakes are good for you but I prefer LACE CAKES!

Well the springtime air and longer days have sparked my creativity.  I watched the film Marie Antoinette last weekend (great eye candy) and was inspired to do a collage with a modern, little girl twist. Lovely_things_collage

When finished I loved how the lace turned out. It looked like a lace cake...aaahhhaaaa, God gave me a wonderful idea (He gives me all my creative ideas)!  Then I got on a roll and started to create a bunch of lace cakes just because I love lace and I love cake.  I'll be posting them on Etsy this week.
