Vintage Victorian Stationery Box 

How beautiful is this ornate, wooden stationery box is gorgeous. These stunning boxes were an essential item for Victorian ladies. A place to hide their secret "love letters" or their "special jewels". You don't find them in such pristine condition very often. I was so lucky to have found this stunning stationery box.



The top is a beautiful Catherine Klein roses picture and the inside is a mirror which is in great vintage condition.The original hardware is still intact which adds the perfect charm and finishing touches. It is quite large and roomy which is also another lovely feature. I have freshened it up with a light "Linen White" creamy chalk paint. Wouldn't this gorgeous piece look stunning on your writing desk, vanity or sideboard! 

Check out this lovely in my Treasured Heirlooms shop under Boudoir.

"Sweet Valentine of Mine"

Gorgeous, vintage 1800s and early 1900s Valentine ephemera adorn this stunning Valentine Wreath. Another one-of-a-kind treasure filled to the brim with vintage treasures.

VISIONS OF SUGARPLUMS 
AT THE 
SWEET CANDY SHOPPE

The "Visions of Sugarplums, Sweet Candy Shop" is a feast for the senses. It is playful, whimsical, fun and looks so tempting you may think you can eat it, BUT you can't. Lots of sugar, no calories. 

Sugar glittered ice cream cones, cupcakes, gumdrops, candies, pastel birdies, hand-made roses and well, just about a little of everything sweet your sweet tooth craves. Creamy white, maribou fur is tucked amongst the confectionery delights creating a soft, airy, and whimsical style. Imagine how gorgeous this "one-of-a kind" treasure would look in your kitchen, nursery, studio, a little girl's room or anywhere you choose to add a touch of sweet whimsy. 

Perfect for your sweet, holiday home, decor and a gorgeous treasure to display throughout the year. I love the look of this wreath and it is breath-taking in person. You will never find anything like this lovely anywhere on the web. I hope you love it as much as I enjoyed creating it. Find it here at:

THE HAPPY SNOWMAN
HOLIDAY WREATH

What is sweeter than an adorable snowman during the holiday season. Cute as a button, The Happy Snowman adorns a wreath packed with fun and vintage treasures. A gorgeous combination of soft peachy/pink bottle brush wreaths and a glittered heart join together with creamy winter white and gold treasures.

SOLD OUT


I began creating this wreath with a antique wedding gown lace for softness and the perfect vintage feel. Then I went to work creating with all the lovelies that make my heart pitter patter.

Vintage mercury glass ornaments, fluffy white birds, glittered snowflakes, and creamy white bottle brush trees were flocked with snow. Ivory strands of pearls and large golden beads were draped throughout to add the perfect touch of elegance. 

Everywhere you look on this gorgeous wreath is a feast for the eyes. A final touch of vintage mica and snowflakes, along with just the right amount of "magic glitter" and this stunning wreath was ready for a loving, new home.

MARIE ANTOINETTE'S AFTERNOON
TEA PARTY

I have been dreaming of creating a one-of-a-kind, elegant, lace, tea set for years. This stunning, tea set is exactly what I had imagined it would look like and more. Beginning with a gorgeous vintage teapot, teacup, tray and teaspoon my imagination took over and I began to add exquisite elements of Venetian appliques, vintage pink chiffon, antique French lace, and stunning pieces of vintage jewels and rhinestones. 

SOLD OUT


The base is a footed silver tray which has been adorned with antique French lace and trims over sweet pale pink chiffon. The teapot and teacup are adorned with gorgeous matching lace and appliques. Gold hearts and rhinestones are a perfect touch.



The palest of pink rosebuds which I have created from clay,  decorate the delicate, glittered sugar cubes.


I am so proud of this perfectly bedazzled gold teaspoon. Elegantly embellished with vintage rhinestones and a pearl cluster completed this romantic vignette.


Imagine how beautiful this would look decorating a sideboard, a dining table, or a centerpiece adorning your table at a bridal shower, tea party or holiday gathering. Not to mention it will be a stunning piece to display year round.





Available in  my Treasured Heirlooms boutique.
