LET'S GO SHOPPING.

Southern Belles Afternoon Stroll

What a wonderful way to spend the day taking an afternoon stroll with your frilly dress and pretty umbrella. Soft fabric roses are the base for everything pretty. Pastel silk flowers, vintage Southern Belle bridge tally cards, pearls, jewels and touch of vintage lace.

A beautiful blue vintage Lefton Southern Belle is the star of the day with her ruffled, polka dotted dress. Joining her are her sweet pastel friends dressed in their finest walking gowns.

Sweet, light, and oh so feminine. Perfect for adorning any room in your home. A lovely gift for a young ladies First Communion, Confirmation, or how much would Mom love to receive this for Mother's Day. Or maybe it's perfect just for you. Enjoy and have a lovely day out for a stroll.

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY...

and welcome to some nostalgic photos of my garden from years past. Spring takes sooooo long to arrive here I just had to take a trip down memory lane today. It is cold and raining outside and the thought of playing in my garden barefoot is on my mind. I bought 4 packs of seeds for $1 this week. Who knows when I will be able to put those little buggers in some potting soil. Of course they are annuals of Giant Zinnias so it looks as though I may have to wait another month or so. Although last night the weatherman did say this week would be in the 70s.

For all of you lovely ladies who already live in the warmer climes, enjoy your gardens. Until I can run barefoot in my own field of posies, I will just escape and look at my garden photos.

Have fun this weekend wherever you live.

Sweet Shop Lulu

I was just turned on to this amazing shop by Cassandra of "An Artful Adventure". We are in the process of doing an Easter Egg Carton Swap and some ladies couldn't find the exact type of egg carton we needed. Cassi sent us an email about this shop and I am blown away by all the wonderful goodies you can buy here. I think you will absolutely love it.

Check it out some time and feast your eyes on some amazing craft goodies, party favors, and loads of other great ideas.

MY LITTLE CHICK-A-DEE

Spring has officially arrived, at least it has here at my home. What is better than the pastel colors of flowers, the rich greeness of the grass and a pretty, glittered birdhouse? A vintage Lefton chick maybe? I think so!

I've decided this will be my last Easter creation of the season. I couldn't resist making one more item with those adorable Vintage Lefton Chicks. A hydrangea basket is the new home to "My Little Chick-a-dee" along with glittery chicky postcards, eggs, grass, pearls, vintage lace, seam binding, silk flowers and a pastel birdhouse. A sweet combination and a perfect centerpiece to leave out all year long.

I finally had a chance to stop and write my Pink Saturday Blog Post. I wanted to share with you the two wreaths I created this week.

I think you will find them a feast for the eyes. I hope you enjoy.

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY

I thought I would share some really cute pretties with all of you on this lovely Pink Saturday. With Spring right around the corner, there will be weddings, parties, picnics, home redecorating, and lots of ways to pretty up your environment. I've shared some lovely items which would add a little punch of color to your home or cottage. My favorite is the beautiful Mermaid French Florist bucket. I made two this week. One with a mermaid and one for the new bride. I love the way they turned out.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Enjoy your Pink Saturday visits.

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.

LEFTON CHICK LOVE

How sweet is this Easter Chicky centerpiece. One of my "original" creations. The base is a yellow bunny pedestal dessert plate adorned with vintage lace around the edges. A sweet vintage Lefton Chick is the focal point along with a 1917 vintage ephemera Easter Postcard backdrop. Silk hydrangea in light green and light blue along with pastel eggs, a rhinestone floral brooch, and a large strand of green glass beaded trim all add the perfect adornments to this "one-of-a-kind" Easter creation.

How perfect for your Easter table or your decorated sideboard. The blue and yellow have become two of my favorite color combinations. They compliment one another and look perfect amongst your other pastel spring decor. Available now at Treasured Heirlooms.

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY

JEESH, this week flew by. I hope I'm not the only one who thought so! I am a bit out of sorts these days with the weather here in New England. The weather greatly affects my emotional and physical well being. It has been really strange having no snow all winter. Although I am so happy I didn't have to worry about shoveling, the plants and trees need water. No doubt the city will put a stop to anyone trying to water their gardens this summer. Then again, when we have such sunny, warm winters we usually end up with dreary, wet summers. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Valentine's Day came and went in a flash. Poof and it was over. A lovely friend of mine sent me a sweet package in the mail. I forgot to take photos of the outstanding chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting before I ate all six. Yup I ate them all in a jiffy. They were small cupcakes though! It was a joy to have such a pretty package sitting outside my front door when I came home from my errands around town. I think the best part was having someone think about me when I least expected it. Isn't that always a joy. My friends are my family and I truly do love them. So if you are one of my dear friends, I thank you for being there.

Here are a few pretties I've added to the shop this week. Enjoy!

HAPPY SATURDAY!

Well I've had these wreaths rolling around in my head for quite some time. I finally got in gear and made them this week. The top one I actually just finished. I hope you like the way they came out as much as I do.

The pastel wreath has sold, but the

Chick-a-dee

wreath was just listed in my

"Treasured Heirlooms"

boutique.

Enjoy my newest creations everybody and

thank you for stopping by my blog today.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

HAPPY WEDNESDAY EVERYONE

Thank you for dropping by my blog to see what's new. The weather for Massachusetts has been sunny and warm (if you consider between 38-50 degrees warm). I know we do here in the middle of January. Usually we are buried under 2 or 3 feet of snow if not more, but thankfully the few inches that fell this weekend already melted.

I have been having a wonderful time getting ready for spring. Spring cleaning has already begun. The attic treasures are finally being sorted through (been meaning to do this for years) and being posted on my websites. Everything from antique jewelry to vintage clothing, lovely figurines to awesome baby planters. You name it, I've probably got it. So it's all coming your way. I figure I should be done listing new product by Christmas 2012! LOL

I am also working on absolutely gorgeous Easter Ephemera and new Spring Wreaths. I'll let you know when they are ready for new homes. In the meantime, enjoy your day and have fun window shopping. To visit any one of my four websites. Two are on the left of my blog (just click on the icons) and the other two are on Etsy (just click on the right sidebar)
