Velvet Millinery

I just love velvet flowers, velvet ribbon and just about anything velvet really. I just listed a few in the shop . Thanks for all your ideas and suggesting for the shelf, I think I am going to glue the wallpaper to cardstock and then tape it up .That way I can always use the wallpaper for other things, but really thought even if I glued it on, it is so pretty would I really change my mind?

I love vintage wallpaper and wish I had enough to cover more things!Also wanted to announce the little box I was giving away to # 11 Tristan . Thanks to all who sent an email to WWC , she said I had such sweet friends and you know I really DO! xo Andrea

I've got gluesticks

To glue or not to glue, that is my question??? I have the vintage wallpaper tacked up behind everything and I just haven't commited to gluing them in place yet.

What do you think, should I glue them? Just I spent $150 on this Rachel Ashwell Simply Shabby Chic book shelf that I LOVE .And once it's glued thats it theres no turning back should I change my mind someday. So what do you think?

Glue or not glue?? I am leaning towards gluing ....would love to hear what you think???

Like this pretty old album that just had to come home with me , the inside pages are the prettiest shade of blue.

Do you ever go shopping and then get home and think about that thing you "should have bought" so then you make another trip?? Well I did and this old rose candle stick along with a new vintage white farmtable for my studio ( will post that next) was my reason to go back again.


Isn't it pretty, it love the way it looks with an old hat hanging on top.

I love my new table , it fit my little studio perfectly and hubby was such a trooper too!! He loves my little shopping extravaganza's , I just know he does. What did you do this weekend???
