HAPPY THURSDAY

Cassandra from An Artful Adventure hosted a adorable Easter Egg Carton swap several weeks ago. Each of us had two partners. We had to paint and decorate an Egg Carton, fill it up with awesome treasures, wrap it really pretty and send it off to our Easter Partners. We choose our favorite themes, favorite colors and things we love to collect and craft with. I had a blast.

Let me share with you what I sent to Robin Martin and what great treasures she sent to me. This was so much fun because Robin loves Retro and bright colors which took me right out of my comfort zone immediately, but I had a blast creating for her.

Look at the wonderful Easter Egg Carton I received from Robin. Lots and lots of fun treasures from pastel ribbons, to a pink rhinestone bling. A beautifully hand made gift card and a wonderful vintage Easter Ephemera Post Card (which I LOVE). My favorite item in my secret package was that yellow and rhinestone RING. Yup, it's a ring, it fits me perfect and I can't wait to wear it.

A lovely glittery rhinestone brooch adorned the top of the box and there was a stunning pink crochet and pearls Easter egg inside. I know exactly where I will be tucking my lovely treasures.

Thank you Robin for all your goodies.

Happy Easter to you and enjoy your Retro Treasures.

Well my little peeps, I'll be posting my other swap partner's goodies and the fabu lot of treasures I received from her tomorrow just in time for Easter and Pink Saturday.

Til then, have a great day ladies.

Way to go, Octavia Spencer! Congratulations for winning an Oscar!

It's Monday already... Wow the weeks are flying by. I stayed up way to late last night watching the Oscar's. I really love Billy Crystal and thought he was great, as always. A little disappointed that Viola Davis didn't win Best Actress, but hey how can you complain when Meryl Streep took it? She is the ultimate actress of all time. I had also hoped that "The Help" would have received more awards and that the Academy had spread the love around a bit. It's so much better when all the movies receive at least one award, but it looks at though "The Artist" swept them away. It must have been quite a movie. I'll have to catch it when it comes on cable! lol

I'm sharing a new creation with you today. I hope you like her. A stunningly lovely and quite large Altered Art Apothecary Bottle. She can be a pretty Southern Belle, Marie Antoinette, Madame dePompadour, or Cinderella. Whatever floats your boat.

You can find her HERE.

Thanks for dropping by and allowing me to share with you some of the pretty little treasures I've added to the shops this week. In addition to an adorable and oh so whimsical "Glitzy Ghicks" Easter wreath, there a wide variety of vintage pretties available. Something for just about everyone from the newborn baby to your sweet Mom.

As always, these pretties can be found in my Treasured Heirlooms boutique.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I'M BACK IN THE MOOD

I know it's very hot and a bit early to start thinking of the snowy, cold winter-time, but I'm in the holiday spirit. My Glitz and Glam station is a wonderful place to create on a hot summers day. It cool and comfortable. So I thought I would start making a few new Christmas treasures for you.

"Mary Christmas" is the first wreath in my new line of smaller, more affordable, one-of-a-kind, themed wreaths. I just love the way this came out. It is about half the size of my large wreaths (22-24"dia), but has just as much charm and treasures. At approximately 12" diameter, "Mary Christmas" is perfect to place on a photo stand mixed in and amongst your other holiday treasures, or hung on a wall during the holiday season.

She will arrive safe and sound at your home covered with a light dusting of vintage mica snow and a touch of glitter. I know you will just love her. If you would like to order one similar, please email me directly and I will do my very best to make one up with a lovely "Lefton" holiday figurine.

Keep cool and enjoy the holiday treasures I have posted for your pleasure.
