Shabby Chic Mannequin

I have the cutest busty mannequin in my Shabby Chic at Cadwell's flea market booth!

I shop tag sales and resale shops for my clothes and I love to share them with my vintage girly!

She is looking oh so fabulous with her handmade lace rosettes!

 I made homemade chocolate cupcakes with homemade frosting and rasberry swirl! 

 I have been following a whole foods diet and after eating just one of my yummy treats, that was enough!

I also made this cute little banner for my booth, I cheated and used a bed skirt (so I didn't have to sew)

   then added the pretty pink ribbons and ties!

I pictured it on my mantel, but it is a bit large...still pretty and Shabby!

 As always I am a hopeless romantic and the pink and white bloom forever in my heart! 

Have a beautiful and blessed weekend!

I will be partying with 

My Romantic Home 

and 

Pink Saturday!

Big Squishy hugs,

Shabby Chic Garden Project Part II

Hello Lovelies!

Last season I showed you pictures at the start of
my Shabby Chic English Garden (click to see) project.
I have a small newer ranch style home.
I would love to have the money to build big beautiful porches,
but with my tiny budget, paints and plants are a more
affordable solution!
I used an inexpensive Wal-Mart paint and a porch sealer to brighten up the basic wood.
Here is a shot of Mr. Romantic adding some collected flea market accents!
The paint has flecked off some...but ohhhh that just makes it more Shabby to me!
Last year I splurged and spent $30 on this
pretty climbing rose, I also bought some magic rose plant food that
was a bit pricey but has really helped this rose thrive!
By the grace of God my pretty rose survived my umh umh "green thumb"
~giggles~

I used some mulch and cheap garden stones to create a path
so I could walk out and water my garden in bare feet.
I found this cute little decorative flower gate at the dollar tree!

Really, I just used alot of imagination, paint, mulch, and flowers
to make this drab spot fab!
Thank you for stopping by!
Please know that I take time to read and treasure each comment.
I will be sharing this with

My Romantic Home
and
Pink Saturday

Hugs, love and blessings go out to all of you!
