IT'S PINK SATURDAY....

and I'm going romantic all the way. Today I'm sharing with you scrumptious new items added to the shops.

Look at this awesome vintage cherub clock. So gorgeous surrounded by all its beautiful pink roses and tiny blue Forget-me-Nots. I just love it.

Getting married? Or know someone who is? Here are perfect bridesmaid gifts. Gorgeous 2x2 beautifully adorned soldered charms. What girl wouldn't want to wear one of these beauties? I know I love mine.

There are so many uses for these lovelies, the ideas are endless. I prefer to wear mine because they really make a statement and since they are all one-of-a-kind, no one else will have one like it. But I also hang them from my holiday tree, have them dripping from your favorite chandelier, or tie them to a light pull.

Here is a gorgeous Bridal Shoe set into a stunning, pink, vintage dove candy dish adorned with pearls, roses, glitter, rings, and hand beaded fabric. A bride-to-be would just love opening a box to find this lovely treasure inside. I know I would.

THE LITTLEST MERMAID

My mermaid wreaths were such a big hit, I thought I would make one more. "The Littlest Mermaid" wreath is adorned with a gorgeous vintage porcelain mermaid and surrounded by all the wonders of the sea. Starfish, seashells, sea glass, gems, jewels, and just about everything else you would expect to find on a stunning, one-of-a-kind wreath.

MERMAID HAVEN

I know that it's still summer and very hot in many parts of the country which continues to inspire me to create lovely mermaid treasures for your Beach Cottage, Bungalow or Romantic Home.

Ms. Mermaid is comfortably resting amongst her favorite starfish, seashells, sea glass, and seaweed. She's happy as a clam as she awaits her arrival at her new home.

It's a Poodle Kinda of Day

Very cool here in MA. I guess fall has actually arrived. I'm not loving this cool weather! Nope, I'm not! I love summer. Plus it means that I need to get outside and cut down my garden and tuck all my cute garden pots, birdbaths and gazing balls safely away until spring.

I have to remove the quilts and pillows from the Pink Fairy Cottage so the mice won't think that is where they need to nestle and live for the winter. I guess I need to muster up some energy and get myself a movin' out there.

Have a wonderful Sunday and enjoy my new Poodle Gift Box. It will be available soon at
Elegance & Whimsy.

PINK SATURDAY

Sweet, sweet Beverly at How Sweet the Sound asked me if I would like to be a Featured Blogger this week. Of course I said "Yes". So hang on tight and here we go......

Don't you just love GEMS and JEWELRY? I know I do. Everything from vintage rhinestone brooches to gorgeous European cameos; Bakelite bangles to high school charm bracelets, clip-on 50s earrings to pierced Swavorski crystals; long multi-strands of pearls to hand made fabric roses; necklaces created with soldered/crystal charms; new resin candy rings to those old painted metal flower pins. WE LOVE IT ALL.

So without further ado, let me introduce my NEWEST line of lovely soldered charms ~ "Charming Treasures". Let's just say, these are not your average charm.

I've never seen anything quite like these lovelies before so I hope you love them as much as I do. "Charming Treasures" are actually large, soldered, 3D charms which have been embellished inside and outside the glass.

You all know how much I adore creating just "one" of everything, so this was right up my alley. Tucked inside large 2"x2" glass slides are beautiful and fun images. Added directly on the image I use Swarovski crystals, glitter, flowers, pearls and any tini tiny pretties to accentuate and embellish the lovely photo.

Each and every charm is individually decorated in a coordinating theme. Once I've finished soldering the front and back together, a jump ring is added to the top for hanging. Now I begin my favorite part, adorning the outside of the charm with more scrumptious goodies and glittery treasures. The front and back of each pendant are equally as pretty and can be worn either way.

Wear these "Charming Treasures" by hanging them from a ball chain, vintage seam binding, silk ribbon, ruffled fabric, vintage pearls or whatever your little heart desires. OR...... tie these glittery pretties adding sparkle to your holiday tree; hang from a window shade; tie them to a vintage lamp pull' hang them in between your favorite chandelier crystals; on your favorite mannequin, or give one to a "bride-to-be" as a "Something New" present. All you need is a place to hang them. I have them hanging around my own home, beautifully placed decorating stair posts and bed posts, lamps and shades just waiting to be worn with my favorite outfit.

The holidays are quickly approaching and I am hoping you enjoy these amazing creations as much as I do. I am so proud to bring you a new line of unique, one-of-a-kind, treasures. Have a great weekend.

OH SO MARIE!!

If you love Marie Antoinette as much as I do, then you will just love my newest Marie Tussie Mussie. Take a peek. Isn't she lovely? I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather as we near the end of our summer here in New England.

MAGNIFICENT MERMAIDS

Ever since I arrived home from Kim Caldwell's Mermaid Art Event, I have creating beautiful treasures with a Mermaid theme. I always knew Mermaids were very popular, I just never had the inclination to create in that theme.

WELL, let me tell you ladies and gents, that has ended. I am completely over my moon in love with anything mermaid, seashell or ocean themed. I can't get the ideas from my head into real artwork fast enough. And it seems as though my customers are thrilled too.

Here's what I just uploaded in my Elegance & Whimsy boutique yesterday. I hope you enjoy my creations. More to come.

THE LAST BLUES OF SUMMER

I couldn't resist cutting the last of my beautiful hydrangea. I wanted to enjoy their beauty inside. Don't you just love all the different shades of blue from just one shrub?

I hope they last at least a few days in the vase. They are so beautiful.

Have a great day.

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!

Hi Everyone and Happy Pink Saturday.

This week I had the opportunity of meeting the super-talented Ms. Heidi Wallingford (Birds of a Feather). We live about 20 minutes from each other and we finally had a chance to meet and play together. I emailed Heidi last week and asked her if she knew anyone in the area that taught soldering classes and she replied that she taught them at her home! How perfect was that. Only 20 minutes from my humble abode and I arrived at Heidi's stunning house and was soldering charms.

Soldered jewelry and charms are definitely "up there" as some of my favorite trinkets to collect these days (so addicting), so I figured it was time for me to see if I enjoyed making them before I purchased all the supplies.

We had so much fun chatting and soldering, playing with pieces of vintage wallpaper, glitter, lace and posies. I made my first two charms. One is very simple, and the second was my first attempt at a 3-D charm. I LOVED SOLDERING and Heidi was a great teacher. I can't wait to purchase my supplies and make some of my very own designs for my themed wreaths.

If you are attending Cassandra's "Marie Antoinette" event in Florida come February, you will be meeting sweet Heidi in person as she will be teaching one of the several classes being taught at this "over-the-top" event.

Heidi was so sweet, so kind, amazingly talented and beautiful human being. I was honored to receive one of her "Original Marie Antoinette" fabric doll kits to take home with me. I've posted a picture of her beautifully packaged kit below. You should see Heidi's completed doll - 2DIE4. You can visit Heidi's Etsy shop and grab one up for your very own. The kit will arrive with everything you need to create a stuffed "Marie" doll with your own special stitching and embellishing style.

Today, I'm also showing off the pink Mermaid cuff bracelet I made for the Mermaid Event in CA and an awesome set of vintage Pink Poodles I snapped up at the Flea Market in LA during the trip. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful weekend.

DON'T FORGET TO SIGN UP IN THE POST BELOW FOR MY GIVE-AWAY
THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED TOMORROW.
