Welcome to my blog!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I believe that everyone can have a beautiful home without spending a fortune! One of my favorite things to do is find creative ways to re-purpose things I already have on hand, or have picked up at yard sales and thrift stores. Join me as I share with you some of my favorite ideas for crafting and decorating, as well as travel adventures, and fun things that I pick up on my treasure hunts! Much of my work is influenced by my love all things French, nature, and of course shabby chic! I have gotten so many creative ideas from you very talented bloggers out there, and I hope that I can be an inspiration to you as well!

A Few New Things



Bonjour, Mes Amis!
Today I thought I'd share with you a few fun things in my craft room.
The other day, I totally lucked out when I spotted this gorgeous large ornate mirror at my favorite consignment shop.  I first saw it several weeks ago, and fell in love with it.  Then when I saw it was marked down to 1/2 off, well, I just couldn't resist!  It is huge and full of all the ornate detailing that I love.
While I really don't have a spot for it (as much as I would love to keep it!), I am going to put it in my shop once I have her all painted.  I'll be sure to share with you the end result!
 In the mean time, we'll be able to enjoy it til she sells!
Also, my mannequin Natasha wanted to show off her cute little new skirt!
Actually, it isn't a skirt at all, but a rag and ribbon garland that I made the other day.
 I had so much fun making this, and just as much fun moving it around for my little photo shoot!
 I created it from hand torn pink and white striped seersucker fabric, pretty pink, cream, and aqua ribbons, and a bit of white tuile, just for fun.
 I created it for my Etsy shop, but for now I am enjoying it in my craft room!
 Isn't this large Paris flea market sign gorgeous?  A thoughtful friend gave it to me for my birthday, back in the spring.  I just love it, it is so me!!!

 Here's one last look.
Wishing you a great week!
