I'M JOINING IN PINK SATURDAY

I think it's been about a year or at least six months since I've joined in with my Pink Ladies. I have so many pink pretties this week. I just had to share.

Thank you to our hostess, sweet Beverly at How Sweet The Sound who kindly hosts this wonderful event each week. Click on her blog name and check out the other wonderful participants.

You can find most of these lovelies in my shop either today or tomorrow.

WOW, WOW, WOW

I cannot believe I haven't done a blog post since January. It's been a longggggggg time. The past several months I took lots of time to create tons of wonderful new treasures.

Michelle from Rose Petals and Blooms and I decided to sell at the Springfield, OH Extravaganza last month (May). Michelle drove all the way from WVA to Boston to pick me up, then we loaded up her van, and drove right back to WVA. Once there, she and I and her DH loaded up a 16' box truck and went on our road trip to Springfield, OHIO.

The show was great. We sold tons of home decor and hand made pretties. Everything from Pink Fairy Chairs to hand-made Bridal roses. A vast array of "one-of-a-kind" hand-made and vintage treasures were sold to people from around the world.

Once I returned home (several weeks ago), I took some much need rest. SERIOUS REST!! I thought I would never get out of that bed. BUTTTTT, I am back and going strong. I have so many stunning, new, creations for you. 

I will be uploading the photos here everyday. You will find the items for sale in my Treasuresheirlooms.net shop. If you don't see the item there and are interested, just email me and I will tell you when I will be listing it for sale. 

If you are contemplating purchasing an item from me on Etsy, it would be easier for me if you purchased it directed from my website. But the choice is yours, as Etsy does take credit cards which most people really find helpful.

Until then my sweet friends, enjoy your Sunday. Here are a few "mini" photo shoots I did today. Enjoy.

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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

I hope all of you had the best holiday season ever. I know I did. But I'm back to work and ready for Valentine's Day. Here is my very first creation. I hope you enjoy my newest wreath...

"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.

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.

I have just listed one of my all time favorite wreaths to be available in my shop. It's called the "Sugar Plum Fairy" and it is just scrumptious.

More details and lots more photos are ready for you to see in my boutique.

FLEA MARKET DECOR

I'm so proud to be featured in the Annual Publication of "Flea Market Decor" published by Beckett Media. Several of my outdoor garden vignettes were used to give others ideas on how to create magical spaces throughout your garden. 

Enjoy and have a lovely weekend.

Hi Everyone

I can't believe how long it's been since I have blogged. Between hurting my back, running to the chiropractor and learning how to walk again, it's been a very long time since I have been able to actually sit without pain and create.

My poor garden has been so neglected this summer as well as my housework. In addition to getting back on my feet (literally) I had a root canal a week ago that has once again knocked me off my feet. The very hot summer hasn't helped my inspiration much either, BUT, I am moving forward and finally having a chance to list some of the pretties I created while resting these past few months.

I've finally been able to create some lovely tea stained, tattered, and torn, vintage linen and lace pretties for my shops. I hope you all love them as much as I enjoyed creating them. Beautiful tattered and torn items have been "all the rage" for quite some time now, but I am a Pink girly girl at heart so it has taken me a bit of awhile to be able to wrap my creative mind this lovely trend.

I do think I'm enjoying it quite a bit now and hope to be sharing lots more pretties with you throughout the Fall and upcoming holiday season. Here are a few of the items you can find right now in my shop. 

Just poke around and you will find them as "newly listed" in different categories @

TGIF

To all my fellow followers and dearest friends, I have missed you. It has been over a month since I have had the opportunity to blog. Three weeks ago TODAY, I was gently pulling a few weeds in the garden and when I stood up, suddenly I felt like someone had cut off my right leg with a sword. Seriously.... this was some of the worst pain I had ever experienced.

I crawled into the house, took some Tylenol and grabbed and ice pack. After several hours trying to get the pain to subside, I knew I had to go to the Emergency Room. A quick ambulance ride, an equally quick exam, a script and I was on my way home (some three hours later). Lucky me really did it this time. My lower back and right leg have been numb and in pain for three weeks. I have however, managed to get myself to my doctor, had x-rays and have begun PT. With that said, my couch is about the only place I have been (other than to the bathroom! LOL) for quite some time.

I have found myself addicted to Pinterest and am making myself even crazier than I already was by pinning all the gorgeous items created by fellow artists. The DIY and plethora of Tutorials are overwhelming and I am just dying to get back to creating. Unfortunately that probably won't happen for quite a few more weeks. I need to get rest and take it easy in order to get back to my energetic self and create all the designs swirling in my head right now. I can't sleep at night just thinking about all the pretties I want to make. I know you know what I mean!

Until then, I hope you all enjoy your weekend and are enjoying the warm weather. We New Englanders have no clue what that feels like because it was still cold enough to turn on the heat this week! Cold and rain, a few minutes of sun, then cold and rain. Maybe one of these days it will warm up and stay warm at least for a few weeks before Fall comes and rears it cold and cloudy head again!

Take care and enjoy yourselves and think of me while you are partying, dancing, grilling, creating, visiting friends and family, yada yada yada! xo

Seasonal Sunday


Don't Forget you still have time to purchase a lovely gift for Mother's Day!

Welcome to my first garden post of the season. Although it is extremely cold and rainy here in Boston, I did manage to get my vintage bike painted and the basket filled with lovely herbs and annuals. I have been waiting to be able to get in the garden this year, but other than raking leaves and pruning, my NEW PINK BIKE is the closest I've gotten to be able to bring some beauty to my yard.

I just love the look of my new pink bike sitting in the front of my house just waiting for warmer weather to give those pretty posies the boost of heat they need to grow and spill over the top of the basket. Honestly, I just can't wait for it to stop raining for the temperature to rise a bit. I'm still in my flannel p.j.'s if you can believe that! 

I hope wherever you live the temperature is more like spring or summer than it is here! Ughh.

 

I also wanted to show off the two newest bracelets in my collection. I'm really enjoying the relaxation of creating jewelry again. Especially working with vintage pieces and old lace. I'm just thrilled at the way this collection is progressing.

Cathy Scalise Jewelry Collections

I've decided to go back to my early days when I used to create and sell jewelry. My new line of jewelry is called the "Cathy Scalise Jewelry Collection". 

This is my first piece in the "new" collection and there will be many more to come. All vintage and perfect for all ages, any style outfit from casual to elegant. A lovely gift for yourself, Mother, sister, or a dear friend. Two crocheted vintage doilies are the focal point of this statement piece. I have added a gorgeous AB Topaz colored rhinestone brooch to the center, a vintage pair of pearl and crystal earrings (one on each side), rose colored pearls, rhinestones, and vintage lace. 

The necklace chain is made from two vintage pieces, a pearl necklace and a gold beaded necklace. Together the gave me a perfect way to accentuate the main piece. This necklace, as with ALL of my creations, are One-of-a-Kind and never duplicated. I hope you love it as much as I enjoyed creating it.
