Pretty Pale spring colors

Photobucket
So spring and pretty~ I love spring time cleaning and bringing out the pale colors, I always go with pale colors for everything and now doing more so with my wallpaper boxes, like this lovely one with the vintage crepe ruffles and velvet ribbons.

This was some of a hoarded vintage wallpaper and decided to use a tiny piece of it for this little box topped with vintage millinery blossoms!

And this one is my absolute favorite! Pale creams and pale pinks with crepe ruffles, also some of that real pretty ledger paper here and there, withr ibbons, just so simple and pretty!I might have to keep this one!

Inspired to journal or collage ??With this pretty journal you would be!I love the pale millinery blossoms with the cream ribbons and vintage ledger paper background~

And this is real spring like ~a glittered bird in a glass cloche topped with hand knotted seam binding ribbon in aqua with a pretty velvet vintage millinery blossom! A few goodies for the shop, I have been trying to be a good little shopkeeper!!
PhotobucketThese pale colors are the prettiest to mix with with creams and whites! A not so fussy tussie , this is a meatl one stamped with roses , I tucked in a few of my handmade roses~

wish for scraps??? Vintage wallpaper scraps that is, I keep even really small pieces andthis is what I used them for , so don't throw the little pieces out!Looks pretty with all the glitter on it~ Well these are just a few things I have finished up in my studio, I have had so many unfinished projects so it feels good to finish them so I can make new ones!!!!

Also remembered buying some vintage baby shower napkins at an estate sale a few weeks ago and I am thinking of using those for the invitations, maybe handstitch those cute little miniature baby rattles to one or something! I'll show you what I come up with !!!!!!!!!
