Happy New Year to you all, I know this is going to be a great year ahead! Here are some pretty bundled flowers from Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic store . Finally got my computer problems fixed I've had for a few days and I also have a winner for all the birthday goodies , the randomly number is
The randomly picked number is: 36
Lowest Number 1
Highest Number 60
Email me your address~ and congratulations~!
These votives are so pretty, like vintage mercury glass with a pretty rhinestone on the front , I picked these up at target, I think I have been there about 3 times a day lately with all those good deals!!!I just keep going back for more !!I think I have about 10 of these now, and thinking about going back for more of the simply shabby chic stockings for those gorgeous crown pins!

I am surprised they still had some left ..
PhotobucketAnd while my computer was being crappy I found time to make this sweet little vintage wallpaper box with one of my pretty papers I have hoarded for awhile now.. I love how it turned out, just so sweet and femanine ...Photobucket And this little box I made with A pin cushion top, the sides are covered in a vintage wallpaper that is all sewn together with bits of other vintage papers, perfect for a little travel sewing kit, this would make a cute gift becasue even the paper is sewn and then the top embellished with pearly pins ,vintage trim and fabrics with some velvet millinery from my stash! Made this for my little shop, some new things for spring!
PhotobucketI have been trying to actually use some of the things I always hoard to make my pretty things prettier!

And I have been working on some of these sweet fairy baskets with glitter dusted vintage roses,vintage wallpaper and feathers..

Pretty things! I bought all the Shabby Chic stockings my Target had in early November, and I don't think they ever got any more! I was in Target this past weekend and scored a 7 1/2' champagne color pre-lit Christmas tree for $49!!!
