Shabby Glittery Sand Dollars!

One of my farmgirl sisters gave me a basket of sand dollars!

 Did you know there are the sweetest shell like doves inside of a sand dollar? My little man and I got up early one morning and cleaned and glittered them...

I thought they turned out gorgeous and it made my heart sparkle to share some creating time with my little man!

Don't you just love antique baby photos...

and antique ornaments...

 Make it Fabulous for less tip~ Add an easy pretty tag to your Holiday creations using pretty glittery scrap booking letters! You can find them for $1 sheet at Wal-Mart!

I am so excited about the Holidays and I am sooooo thankful for all of my blessings!

I usually do not work with seashells that much, but look at how cute this little bottle turned out!

 I used the super fabulous E600 all purpose glue from Michael's and then added vintage French paper and a pretty fluffy bow at the top!

 So...I am part of a Fabulous group of ladies called the Farmgirl Sisters! Our fearless leader has a darling little painted cottage in our old historic downtown area and we are hosting a cottage sale the first week in December!

The Farmgirl Sisters also have the cutest website...check it out

Have a Super Wonderful and Blessed Day!

Shabby Living Room Reveal!

I adore Shabby in all forms...

A couple of months ago I TRIED to integrate some darker woods and colors into my home, but it just did not make me feel fluffy happy like the Shabby does!

Giggle! 
My living room is back to my Shabby loving pinky ways!

Pink ruffles and fluff are at home here!
The gold curtain replaced a lacy one but I must be practical for winter...

I have a totally funky lampshade in this corner of the room...

!  

Ooh la la! I hope you enjoyed the tour of my funky junky Shabfabulous home!

Please stop by and see my Friday favorites...

Gorgeous Fabulous Shabby Whites!

Remember my faux mantel and the gold mirror?

Well, I just had to bust out my Shabby paint wand to make it fabulous...

Some days are ordinary and some days you discover an estate sale full of the coolest vintage white purses and milinery flowers...

And you find a gorgeous birdcage that fits perfect in that blah spot...

I am really excited for Christmas...

this was my tree last year...

I am joining the local Farmgirl sisters for a Dec 1-4 cottage sale

hmmmm...

what should I make, what should I bring???
Oh, I have been working on cute jars and bottles...

In my etsy store~

Please comment and leave me tons of fabulous ideas!

Love the White Wednesday!

My Pink Hunk of Junk

We were driving by my favorite resale shop when I braked for a piece of rusty crusty metal. My son said..." Mom what are you going to do with that old hunk of junk" ?

Paint it pink of course!

Add some roses and a little Parsian flair!

Wal-Mart has spray paint on sale for $2.67!

I love sales!

Have a lovely and blessed day!

Hugs,
