Welcome March!

Welcome to March

in Vancouver, Washington . . . 

Yes, we woke up to a blanket of snow!!

Hope you had a great February!

Spring will be here soon,

but I do love snow.

Thanks for stopping by.

I'm still keeping busy at the thrift store.

A White Winter Shadowbox

 

I made another shadowbox

this year, full of vintage white treasures.
 

It started with an antique snow dusted

(flaking plaster) frame 

that I kept in its found condition.
 

The main color scheme is white

with touches of pink, green and blue,

with some vintage angels and silver sparkle.

I love the old angel tree topper in the middle.

This month, I had the honor of having

my two vintage shadowboxes on display

at Starting Grounds Church and Coffee Shop, 
and art gallery

You can see more about the 
gold shadowbox here.

Thanks for visiting.

Merry White Christmas!

vintage sock stretchers

Last week I found these

vintage sock stretchers
at an antique sale

(are you really supposed to stretch your socks?).

I thought they would look nice 

just hanging as stocking decorations
for Christmas,

but when I got them home, 

I decided to dress them up with

some vintage lace and trims.

What do you think?

I listed a couple in my etsy shop, and

some will go to Junk Fest.

Happy White Wednesday.
Hope you are enjoying your week!

sheet music paper wedding dresses

Busy creating . . . 

 pretty things from paper
  

a special order for a bridal shower
 

sheet music wedding gowns
 

I loved creating these . . .

 

designing individual little dresses,

each one unique 
 

adding vintage lace, paper doily trims, buttons and flowers

making veils, trains and simple bouquets.

We've been to several weddings this summer,

sharing the love, beauty and joy, 

of young couples

full of life and love,

just beginning their lives together.

Congrats to all those newlyweds and

 to those celebrating many years of marriage.

Remember the joys of your wedding day

joining your life to another,

keep celebrating your life and love,

being thankful for the love and time you share.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Love is the greatest gift of all.

Daisies . . .

Hope you're all enjoying your summer!

We just returned from a great visit 

with our kids and granddaughter.

We came home to a yard full of daisies . . .

wild daisies and shasta daisies.

Just had to pick some bouquets and
put them in our newly purchased pitchers,
which will soon be for sale in my etsy shop.

Happy White Wednesday!

Have a great week!
