A favorite

A favorite . I love these more than roses.

I think everyone should have fresh flowers in their home , these came from my sweet neighbor , she has about 6 huge bushes of these peonies, so I am sure I will be having quite a few of them .

I have a small little plant of these and I can't wait till it's a huge bush to pick and pick from, nothing like fresh garden flowers , right? Hope you had a lovely weekend ,we just lounged around ,it was great ..nothing to do , no where to go .. there's no place like home..

The Goods

Something pretty for anything......I just love old silver ,can't seem to snatch up enough of it.

A few pretties just listed in my new shop ! You may remember this vintage velvet strawberry pincushion.

Vintage crinoline trim. I love using this on little things.

Remember the vintage dress fromthe 1930's ,well here are cute little bundles made tied with vintage velvet ribbon.

And I also added this sweet little vintage mirror,I made this awhile ago ,covered with vintage pretty little millinery flowers ,some pretty velvet ones too.

You can check out the Old Goods Here !
Wishing you all a lovely memorial day weekend, remembering the ones who gave it all for Freedom.

Still Creating....

I had made this using pieces from that vintage wedding dress I showed you, I did finally cut it, see the cut little pom pom trim. I sewed it to make it bunch up a bit, like ruffles and added it around this old frame .I also had made this for the show what you create blog party, but didn't get a chance to photograph it, so here it is!


Here is the whole view ,I think I'll use it when I'll be a vendor at the next Funky Junk show. And hang it from my new vintage dress form I picked up this weekend.

Isn't it pretty! It stands in my living room right now becasue my studio is already jam packed with junk . I put one of the old dresses I picked up at the flea on her, with one of my favorite old millinery flowers.

Do you ever go shopping and after you wish you would have bought that thing you seen??Well that was the case with this old vintage dress.I had seen it at the flea and was kicking myself when I got home for not buying it, but luckily I got the vendors card and walla I contacted her and bought it .I felt so lucky! I think I have a vintage dress addiction!

And at the same little shop I picked up the dress form I found this cute little old scale. I just love it .It sits on my kitchen table ,I had one but it wasn't as cute as this one, so I sold the other.

Is there anyone else who loved old dolls like I do??I am sure I am not the only one, right? Well a new antique shop opened up in town and yep you guessed it I had to buy these.The look darling up against the white bedding.Sigh....

Thanks to everyone who created with me on Friday ,I tried to visit as many of you as I could .I loved all the creativeness! I have a big news ,I can hardly wait to share with you ,but I'll have to wait even though I am not very good at keeping surprises!

Show What You Create Blog Party

Show what you create today and we all create something! I am posting the night before the actual party because I am a busy mama in the morning!
Here is what I created ! I turned a vintage honeycomb bell thingy into a sweet basket!By turning it upside down and gluing it to a heavy cardboard like base.



I wrapped a handle over it with vintage velvet and used pipe cleaners to hold the ribbon up in place! You got to love hot glue!I then filled the top of the basket with vintage blue tulle and added a few of my favorite millinery flowers! Isn't it pretty! I plan on making more of these!

Be sure to visit the other creations today! And happy creating ..We are all creative!

Flea Market Pt 2. The goods

These are the goods that came home with me ,I can already hardly wait for the next flea in the fall. I was even thinking of being a vendor myself this time.I just love old ticking fabric pillows.They sure don't make them like they used to!

And another doll, a girl can never have too many right??

Some tea stained trims ,old keys and watch faces.

I couldn't resist this old green pom pom trim.

Picked up this cute sack cloth towel to use in the kitchen, not that I have used it yet . Some old heart picks for corsages I make and things.

Lots of these, wish I would have bought more!!

And say hello to the perfect purse from Anthropologie!!! Brand new from a seller who actually lives in the same town as me! It's so nice to meet people who are like you !

I must confess I have a vintage dress and crinoline addiction, found these two at the flea.

I could just look at them all day !

So much so I tossed them all on the couch ,I had them hanging about my room but needed a pretty place to keep them .

And so here is what I did ! I bought a rack to hang them all on and it is now in my living room.I would have perferred an old rack but this will due for now until I can find one!!


Hope you enjoyed the flea as much as I did! Friday is the big create blog party day! Will have the full list of blogs who will be creating posted friday am or thursday eve!!!

Flea Market Pt.1

There is just so much to show you , so I thought I would start with these..


I had so much fun!

I can't wait to show you what came home with me , old prom dresses,tea stained trims and old ticking feather pillows just to name a few...



I brought my 2 girls with me and they were a big help!


Carrying my bags as we filled up the flea market cart I brought with rather quickly!



Remember Friday is The show what you create Blog party! Yes there is still time to sign up, it's about five posts back. Will post everyone playing on friday!







This could just be my longest post ever, but I am sure you won't mind!

Off to the Flea

Off to the Flea tonight and I can hardly wait! I will be bringing my little helper, it's so much easier to shop without an armload of treasures.



And wanted to say Thank you to Cerri of LittlePinkStudio for this lovely basket, we were partners in Jenny's May Day basket swap! And I just love everything she sent me. The doll, the basket and all the little goodies fit right in to my home!


Can't wait to show you the flea, will be taking lots of pics!

To cut or what?

Thanks for all your help on the chandelier, I think or now I will leave it. I do like the contrast against all the white around here not that there could ever be TOO much white!
I made a crown yesterday for my little doll head here with some vintage wallpaper, old tinsel and pieces of an old doll dress .


And I found this a 1930's vintage wedding dress and just LOOK at the trim on this , oh my .I am really thinking about cutting it up and using the lace and trim, what do you think?? It's not like I am going to wear this although I certainly would if I was to be getting married. Oh please help me decide!!!


And you can never have too many of these .I really like this blue color ,more and more .This old shoe bag has lovely stitched detail and will help out alot once I get it hung up in the studio and stuffed with goodies!

I think I am having an organizing fetish lately, I bought the shoe bag and this old vintage drawers from an old sewing machine thingy. I just love the chippy old paint.

Remember about 3 posts down ,theres still time to sign up for show what you create! And I can't wait to show you what I came up with!
