Pink Christmas preparations

Hello lovely friends! 

I have begun to create sparkling Pink Christmas ornaments for my Etsy Shoppe and hopefully to be ready for the holiday season!

It always seems like I never have enough time to create and decorate everything so this year I am starting early, lol!

I have been on an angel kick lately and trying to "use what I have" of all the bits and bobs craft supplies!

For this darling angelic creation I used a wooden base and MANY hand rolled roses...

Not something I probably have the patience for again but it ended up really cute!

I am already getting ready for Pink Christmas as it always seems to surprise how busy the season is and how I always wish I had more time.

How early do you start getting ready?

Thank you for stopping by my little corner of the world.

Praying your week is beautiful and blessed,

xoxo

Royal Pink Princess Holiday Angel

 Hello lovely friends!

I hope everyone is having a beautiful week!

Today I was blessed to spend time in my studio creating this gorgeous heavenly treasure.

 I fell in love with her sweet face and decided she needed to bloom with one of my signature Shabbydazzle florals!

 Just perfect for your French Chic holiday...

can be displayed year round.

Such a busy time of year but I am thankful to back in my studio.
Have a gorgeous week my darlings,
Hugs and sparkles,

Shabby Chic Fall

 Welcome back!

Well my darlings, I must say as the weather begins to cool down a bit and the kiddos go back to school, I immediately begin to think of FALL! 

Yay!!! One of my favorite times of year!

With pumpkin spice everything, leggings, sweater and boots!

Decorating for fall is no problem around my cottage home as I also work to create cute and pastel Autumn decor.

Today I worked on lacey FALL romantic banners to match the cute handmade Shabbydazzle pumpkins I created yesterday!

Who doesn't love a Shabby Chic pink and white pumpkin patch!

Hope you are enjoying the weather cooling off and all of the blessings of a new season!

Hugs and sparkles,

xoxo

Cottage Chic Dining Room

 Hello lovelies! 

Today I am sharing with you my little Shabby Chic Dining room!

 I love to find unique inexpensive treasures at tag sales and re sale shoppes to add a vintage flair to my decor!

 Vintage China, fresh flowers and fruit are some of my favorite Spring/ Summer decorating touches.

 My husband and I found this cute little vintage secretary desk at a tag sale. 

Originally it was an olive green and the glass doors were missing.

I decided to paint it a bright cottage white with pale pink shelves and used lace curtain panels to add a romantic feel to the missing glass doors.

 Most of my China is very mismatched and picked up at different junk shops for only a couple of dollars.

The birdhouse I found at Michael's painted it a pale pink and Shabbydazzled it with loads of laces, florals, vintage china pieces and trims.

I just cannot get enough of the Shabby Chic romantic decorating, always brings a bit of a smile to my heart.

A big thank you to Sheri Holloway Photography for these beautiful photos!

Thank you for stopping by my little corner of the world.

I hope your day is lovely and full of Joy!

Photo shoot behind the scenes

 Hello lovelies!

So, I did a professional photo shoot of my home and work with my beautiful friend Sheri Holloway at Sheri Holloway Photography.

 I spend days getting ready, arranging and decorating...

At some point we tried to use Big Kitty in a basket in one of the living room shots...WRONG!

Giggles...he wanted to be cuddled and not photographed.

AND this is my rock...my Best friend in the whole world Lorena behind the scenes!

 Lorena is most beautiful and fantastic bestie in the whole world!

Truly!

She is the bomb and totally gets the Shabby obsession!

Her home is absolutely gorgeous and she has the best Shabby Chic flea market booths in town!

 Trying to pull it all together oh my goodness I would have lost my mind without her!

The gorgeous and beyond fabulous photographer Sheri... she was seriously AMAZING!

Ya know I cannot give enough props to Sheri for taking the loveliest of photos and also embracing my girly home vibe and making me feel oh so comfortable through the process!

 We all worked hard and I am thankful for the love and support!

 I am beyond humbled and honored to say that my home will be featured in the upcoming issue of Somerset Home Magazine!

Hugs and sparkles my darlings!

xoxo
