Inspiration Kit GIVEAWAY!!

I have been wanting to do a

GIVEAWAY 

for awhile now and I finally got a kit made

for one lucky winner. My birthday was yesterday

so I thought what better time to share my blessings with

you. I can't believe I am 55 years old! Where have the years

gone? I am sure I don't know! HA!


Enough about that...now on to the giveaway...

I painted a chipboard box in white and light gray colors

and  I filled it with pretty tresors. 

When you open the box the first thing you will find
is one of my very favorite tags.

 Then you will open a vintage white hanky that is trimmed in

luscious lace and embroidery to reveal all the tresors inside.

Lovely items such as:

a rose pin

a parchment rose

and trim that I hand-stamped with script writing.

a Cinderella card

an enamel number and a glittery metal tag

A sparkly butterfly

A number tag that I made along with some vintage 
buttons and a script heart.

a few tags...

some vintage lace and trim

on hand-stamped script tags

and finally
more old lace on a handmade card.



If you are interested in this kit and you have a

United States address,

please leave a comment

on this post

and you will be entered in the drawing.

For an extra chance to win share this post on your blog,

or on facebook.

Please leave a separate comment for each  entry

or your extra entry will not count.


I will draw a winner next Tuesday.

Good luck to all who enter.

UPDATE: I have made a new blog header as you may have noticed and the writing on it appears
blurry to me. I have no clue why. This has never happened to me before. It looks fine when I
made it, but now doesn't...please bear with me as I work on it. Taking a long break right now
though. lol

L.O.V.E. Giveaway

"...and now abideth faith, hope and LOVE, but the greatest of these is LOVE".

I Corinthians 13:13

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude.
 It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
 Love never ends.

I Corinthians 13: 4-8

That day when we bestow gifts upon those we love such as chocolate and
diamonds  is sneaking up on us and will be here before we know it!

To celebrate this wonderful day I will be giving away one of these love signs.

It measures approx. 12 inches long x 7.5 inches high and is covered in silver glitter.
I have added a pink ribbon rose and  ribbon hanger so it is ready to hang in your home
to celebrate that special day.

Just leave a comment on this post and I will draw a winner next Wednesday,
January 16th. If you want to share this giveaway on your blog sidebar or pinterest,
please feel free to do so and that will earn you an extra entry for each.

Thank you!

{If you just can't wait , I will also be selling these for 14.99 each plus shipping.
Just shoot me an email and we will work out the details }

Rosette Party today!

I hope you wonderful rosette makers out there

will bear with me today. I decided last night...at the

last minute that I wanted to join the

French Cupboard rosette party.

Definitely not much time to prepare so be warned

that these are not the most beautiful photos you will

ever see , but they are definitely rosettes.

I made this rosette pin a few days ago by tearing off a

strip of old white fabric that had the crochet trim still

attached. I love how it turned out. One of my

favorites right now.

I made these on the spur of the moment last night. I took two silk roses apart and stamped, stamped,

stamped Parisian images on the petals. That is as far as I have gotten...more work to be done

on these.

I made most of these rosettes at one time or another

except the colored ones. I am sure you know who

made them. Yes it was Erica of Meadowstreet! Love her work!!

{ I posted this wristlet several days ago,

but am reposting it for this rosette party}

I cut the shabby trim off the top of a skirt

and made this ivory rosette wristlet.

I wanted it to be simple so all I did was add a small

muslin rosette that I had made and some tiny

vintage lace.

These white gauze rosettes are in my Etsy

store right now. I love working with this

dreamy thin fabric. No two are ever alike.

These are some of the first rosettes I ever made.

I hooked three of them together and added

some ribbon tails and a button like Erica did.

I know there are gorgeous rosettes out there

in blogland. You can see many more by

attending the rosette party today through

the weekend.

God's beauty...

All things bright and beautiful,

All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful,

The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,

Each little bird that sings,

He made their glowing colors,

He made their tiny wings.

The tall trees in the greenwood,

The meadows where we play,

The rushes by the water,

To gather every day.

He gave us eyes to see them,

And lips that we might tell,

How great is God Almighty,

Who has made all things well.

Peaceful Sunday to you today ~

As promised...and my booth

the other gorgeous vintage card I found while antiquing

{see post below this one for a pink rose card}

{These cards are cardboard and measure

approx. 5 inches x 6 inches}

The perfect size to tuck into a vignette.

I have taken the *plunge* again and am

expanding to a larger booth at the antique

mall. I was tossing around the idea for the past few days

because you can only get so much stuff into a 4 foot x 6 foot

area. I emailed the owner and immediately got a phone call

and she told me she had the perfect booth for me.

It will be on the main aisle and I am so looking forward

to a larger booth. I will also enjoy the hunt for

more stuff to fill it up. Moving day is around April 1.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead. We will be on R and R again, but I will

try to check in every so often.

Almost forgot to tell you that I hit the jackpot

at the Goodwill yesterday. Got two silver pieces,

a chenille spread, two pillows, brand new white battenburg

duvet {still in package} , two candles, and a couple

other goodies. The pillows , spread and duvet were 1/2 off too!

I rarely find anything anymore so I was

a happy camper. In fact, I was in the dressing room

keeping a close eye on my cart through the slats in the door

{ I know I know...pretty obsessive huh}

when someone came in and yelled, "Is this someone's cart out here

with the white blanket {chenille spread} and I said, "Yes".

To which she replied, "OH SHOOT...then I won't root through it.

LOL

Blessings~

A rose by any other name...

is still a rose ~

look what I found at the thrift store a few

weeks ago for $2.00

brand new with tags still attached

including this one

{original price was $26}

I have not unwrapped it yet

I love it as it is

Blessings~
