CHRISTMAS CROWN SWAP, OH SO PRETTY.

 

Ok this is my first time making a crown and I'm so hooked on them. They are so much fun to do, I did mine out of chicken wire. But, you can make them out of any material you like. Of course the best part is the decorations. The themed was Christmas.  

 

 

 

 

This is the one she made for me, I have it on top of my dinning room table. I get to enjoy it everyday!

 

 

                        This is the one I made for friend  Francie from The Scented Cottage.

Well, I finally got to glitter my acorn. I made them to use them as part of my fall decor, but I like them so much that I have kept them as part of my Christmas decorations, I love how they turned out.

BALLERINAS AND MORE BALLERINAS.

 

 

I  think these little ballerinas turned out so cute. They remind me of our childhood birthday parties in Chicago. For some reason my mom must of love them too because, I remember them on top of all our birthday cakes. I added some glitter and stickles in different colors, now what to do with them.......

 

 

 

 

                                         Here I used a white one to alter a little jewelery box.

                     I found the perfect little stop for my pearls of wisdom altered perfume bottle.

ALTERED TEST TUBES, SO BEAUTIFUL.

 

I'm so loving how these turned out. I've been collecting these test tubes for a while now and it's been so worth the wait. I've separated my most precious vintage buttons, beads and bits of treasured jewelry. The one with the metal cap was the inspiration piece. It was given to me by my sweet and talented friend Doreen.

 

LITTLE PROJECTS, HERE AND THERE.

 

 

These are regular yellow pencils that I covered with Washi tape and I think they look so cute.

 

 

 

 

 

 I've finally got to altered this little vintage milk glass vase. I'm keeping these new pink pins in it.

These are altered little perfume bottles. I found this idea on Pinterest and I'm planning on making more.

THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS TO ALL MY BLOGGIE FRIENDS.

 

 

 

 

FUN, ANTIQUING IN CENTRAL FLORIDA.

 

Hubby and I just got back from a relaxing few days in central Florida. This time of year is just beautiful here in Florida, the weather is just perfect.

Going to garage sales in central Florida, is so different from Miami. But, great fun just finding and getting to these farms. Oh my, what great goodies we found and what nice forks we met. They make it real simple for you to find the farms, take a look.

 

 

 

 

 Now to Mount Dora, what can I say ........ I want it all.

 

 I did get a couple of these vintage ladies. I don't want to say I collect them but, I do have a few. I love the vintage color and the beautiful jewelry. They are all so retro gorgeous.

 

 

 We also went to Websters flea market, great goodies there too. Can't wait to go again.
