new designs

brooch with several buttons for center


brooch with vintage lace and tulle

this brooch is a new design, the center is just made up of linen strips

brooch with doily and button for center

i found this straw bag at my church in a pile of garage sale items, i decided to liven it up a bit so i made a brooch to match ( i do have another brooch just like the one above, but unfortunately this one is not for sale!)

I just wanted to share a few pictures of the brooches that I've been whipping up. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to write a post, I'm going out of town for the weekend, and I was excited about these brooches and couldn't wait to show y'all!!!

Oh! and please let me know what you think about the new blog changes in the comment box below.

                      Have a wonderful and fun weekend!!!

projects in progress

sander, wood stain, grinder, rag, and hooks....i'm ready to get to work!!!!

this is a simple project( or atleast i think it is....i haven't finished), i don't know what to call it because it kinda looks like a ladder, but let's just call it a scarf rack.

that's my hand, i'm sanding the scarf rack

these are decorative hooks ( the cool thing about these hooks is, i didn't have to pay for them, i found them in my mother's wardrobe). i'm going to put one on each side to hang my tote bags.

a window frame that i purchased out at Coughran Market Days from Suzanne, you can find her here


i found these pretty ( and inexpensive) knobs at World Market. i think they'll look cute screwed to the bottom part of the window frame to hang tote bags.
 I've been so neglectful the last few weeks, I apologize for not posting in awhile, but I'm back again to share a couple of projects that I have been working on.

I'm staining the scarf rack using white wash stain, once finished, I'll sand it to give it a shabby chic/weathered and worn look. The window frame will stay the way it is (why would i want to paint it!!!! it's lovely the way it is), and screw in the four decorative knobs for the bottom to hang tote bags.
