An Oldie but Goodie..

 I am Dusting off an 

Oldie but Goodie Banner 

thinking about Valentines Day 

Just around the Corner

Valentines Day.....Valentines Day?!

Oh My How time Flies! 

Remember when you were Little 

How time seemed to move as 

Slow as Molasses in January!

 (I can Hear my Grandpa 

Saying that in my Head!

He had so many 

Wonderful Metaphors

 like that.)

 

Well just in case I haven't already,

 Wished you a 

Happy New Year 

Well Then...

~ My Wish for us All 

in this Bright New Year

is that We are Always Surrounded 

by the People We Love 

and Hold Close to our Hearts;

And that we Find 

Peace & Happiness 

in the Everyday 

and that 

 Good Health & Prosperity

 Always Finds Us~

 Have a Wonderful Year!

A Very Merry Christmas to You!

  Dear Friends

My Wish for you

on  Christmas Day

is that you find Yourself Surrounded

by all of those you hold Dear.

That you find Yourself Smiling 

Because you Know that everything 

that matters in Life 

is Right There With You.

That you Find your Day  Full 

of Memories in the Making 

and that you are Reminded 

of all the Blessings 

That are yours.

Merry Christmas My Friends!

~Windows into our Hearts~

 I Just wanted to take a Moment and

Thank You All for Visiting me in
my Humble Little Studio

And all of your Sweet Comments! 

Also I would Love to Thank Karen from My Desert Cottage 

for Hostessing this Wonderful Blog Party 

so we could get a Glimpse into where the Inspiration Begins!

I Enjoyed Visiting Everyone that I Could.

( Getting Ready for our Trip to Visit my Father In Law in Canada tomorrow.

I Hope to Continue when I return)

I Must  say That it was so Marvelous 

to see Everyone's Creative Spaces! 

Our Studios Tell so much about us don't they,

And are so Uniquely Our Own.

 

 Where we Create is 

Truly a Window 

Into our 

Hearts and Spirit 

don't you think?

 We are Leaving Bright and Early tomorrow for Canada.

A Very Long Car Ride ahead but 

We are Anxious to see My Father in Law. 

Thank You all for your Kind Words of Support and Prayers. 

They meant so Much.

Thank you

See you all Soon My Friends and a Have a Wonderful Week!

 Hello Everyone and 

Welcome to my Studio! 

I want to start off with a Big Thank You 

to our Very Gracious Hostess 

Karen of My Desert Cottage!

Yay Karen! 

Thank you so Much for this Wonderful Party!

 

I Have to tell you that my Studio is Teeny Tiny!

I have been Banished to the my Bedroom 

but Shhh.. don't tell anyone..

I really Love having my Studio there! 

My Mood Board is the First thing I See in the Morning.

I Love waking to  my Creative Muses!

 My Vintage Altered Bottles 

I created with Nancy Maxwell James!

think I just might have to make some more of these!

 

  Studio Right

My Inspiration for this Lamp came from PB,

They wanted .. Wow!  

A Lot of Money 

for their Lamp!

So I decided to come up with My Own.

This is Made with my Own Collection of Images, 

A Tomato Cage, 

Office Depot File Clips,

and A Pull Chain Lamp Kit from Home Depot.

The top is an Old Bedroom Ceiling Light

(Circa 1970's)

That I found at a Local Thrift Store.

Black Spray Paint was all it Needed!

Using my own Collection of Images 

made it More Personal and Fun not to mention 

How Beautiful they are Illuminated!

 

  The Big Picture.. Well the Tiny Picture!

   I Love these Old Watch Faces.

 This is my Mood Board.

 I Like to Have my things Out so I know what I have.

I am kind of like Dory from Finding Nemo....

Short Term Memory.

 

  I Love Old Books....

  I Love using  Serving Pieces for Display. 

They are Wonderful for Organizing your Collected Pieces.

Did I tell you about my 

Love Affair with Buttons and Lace?!!

After Visiting most of your Blogs...

I have discovered I am not Alone! Lol!

 

  Don't they Look Scrumptious!

 

 Aaaa Yumm!

  

 I started keeping a Project Box. 

It just helps me to stay more Organized .

   

 

  ~Rue Lafayette No 33~

I Made this for Organizing My Collection of Jewelry.
