I have been shabbying up some pretty bottles...

 fluffing up some pretty jars and opening an Etsy store... 

 shopping for vintage pretties...

painting anything I can get my hands on...

fluffing up my home...

and of course the most important being a good wife and mommy

we set up our Christmas village this week!

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

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!

Fabulous Free Shabby Pine cone Ornaments!

My little Fairy Princess and I decided to 

pick up pine cones outside of her preschool. 

I just knew I wanted to paint and pretty 

them up and who can resist FREE!

I made these last year but I hand painted each one! 

This year I got a little smarter and decided to dip them using a large plastic storage container.

How to make painted pine cone Ornaments!

 Put about 2 cups of paint in a large container.

Add 6 pine cones. Slowly move your container upside down a couple of times. Pine cones should be mostly covered. Remove with tongs and gently shake pine cones to get out excess paint. Turn pine cones as you let them dry, move to a new sheet of wax paper if there is alot of extra paint. Once dry add fabulous glitter, lace, vintage baubles and ribbon to the top to make a gorgeous ornament!

These are a little messy but the end result is well worth it, they look so cute in a pretty tea cup!

 Have fun and please send me pictures if you try this and I will feature you on my blog!

Check out my new Etsy Shop for more gorgeous items to fluff up your home!

Pretty Rose Tea Cup Candle Light!

 Hello! I have been creating up a storm...
I am so delighted with how gorgeous this little tea cup light turned out!

 

It was a tad cool today, so my little princess and I stayed indoors.

She painted little wood cut outs that you get for peanuts at Michael's and I created Shabby Rose Treasures! 

The teacup I used is one of my favorites!

Such gorgeous roses!

 The perfect addition to my living room!

I cannot wait to show you the rest of my gorgeous fluffy creations!

Hugs,
