Romantic Homes Giveaway~

So pretty , not sure if I showed you my new 1920's metal bed frame or not but here it is topped with Rachel Ashwell's Simply Shabby Chic all white sheets and ruffled white blanket.

I love the basket with flowers ,it is also on the footboard part as well. Chippy cream in color , still trying to decide whether I'll paint it white or not, but for now I like it in it's original state.

Birthday Girl

My Lily Mae turns 7 today . It's amazing how fast time goes by ..it seams only yesterday she was just a little baby.
Every girl wants to be a princess right? I created this pretty garland out of strips of fabric, I had so many little pieces of this and that , and this was a great way to use them all ..Isn't it pretty!I have another one in the works of creams and whites and vintage linens.I am going to use them when I will be a vendor at the next funky junk sisters show for my booth!

A close up of all the pretty fabrics. I used strips ranging from 2by8 inches to 3 by 12 inches. With a little burlap mixed in , It really didn't take too long at all, i tied them onto a sturdy piece of ribbon.

And a party wouldn't be a party without another old dress I picked up off of ebay, I really love this one, with it's velvet waist band.

And layers of tulle ruffles. I think i am addicted to these !

Hope you have a lovely weekend , We got Lily a new bike so I am sure we'll be out on some bike rides! xo Andrea

Check it out!

I have been making these cute headbands for my girls ,using old millinery flowers. I just love them ,I used a piece of old pale blue elastic, then sewed it together and glued on the flower.
Art really does save , as a busy mom ...art is my time for myself , it is relaxing to me and with my own little studio, it's like my own little getaway ...

I love what Jenny has done with her new venture . Visit Crescendoh as I am a guest curator for this week and have gathered several great links of pretty things!

What makes you happy?

This is so pretty! I specailly ordered this from Gabrielle after seeing one on her blog and I can't even tell you how pretty it is! Old fabric and tulle flowers ,I am going to hang this in my girls room ,maybe ? I kinda like it for myself, but I need to quit hoarding! Do you ever feel like a hoarder?
