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!!!
