Marie Antoinette Hat

Oooohh La la!
How can we resist going over the top for Halloween!
Marie Antoinette fits perfectly into the "High Style" category...

With thoughts of over the top frilly gorgeousness I created this
pretty vintage hat!
I tried it on to make sure it was wearable!
I am crazy over the moon for vintage coats and chunky jewelry beads for fall!

Tons of over the top flowers set on a vintage hat base with pretty white lace edging.
It does not take much for me to let go and do over the top!


This is the new antique secretary Mr. Romantic and I picked up on our latest junkin adventure!
Surprise! He shabbied it for me...
True Love you know!
Giggles!

Of course will all of this fabulousness we can't forget to accessorize our pretty hangers!
More over the top Marie Antoinette inspired hanger!

I just know you are all having one amazing week...
remember if you are given lemons turn it into lemonade,
at the very least make it look pretty!
I will be joining

Shabby Chic Halloween Pink Pumpkin


I am finally getting in the mood for Halloween!
Of course I am doing some pink pumpkins!
This little darling is my newest creation.
She is pretty and spooky all lit up perfect for a "Shabby Chic Halloween"!






Really, I just can't do traditional Halloween...
for my cottage pink and white pumpkins are a must!
Everybody was tired this morning and me and the hubs are still sniffly.
Now, if I can just turn my energy to cleaning and not crafting, my house is getting messy!
If anyone has seen my fairy Godmother please send her my way!

Shabby Chic at the Cottage Sale


This week has been perfect weather ( high 70's) for our Farmgirl Sisters Cottage Sale!
We brought my gorgeous Shabby Chic Hall Tree, Handmade benches, decorative suitcases, windows, picture frames and much much more!
This has been our best sale yet!
Tons and tons of goodies, friends and fun!

I have directions posted on my Shabby Chic at Cadwell's Flea Market facebook page in the top right hand corner of this blog.

This adorable chair was made by my friend Jan with strips of fabric!
I'm gonna have to try this!
So many goodies, I am trying to restrain and not shop till the end of the sale...

Ok, I am secretly praying my Shabby Chic Hall tree does not sell.
My confession of the week...
Seriously,
would you sell it?
He reasoned with me and told me he would make me ten more...
I think I'm a Shabby hoarder.
Giggles!
Anyhoo, lots to do today! I have the sniffles but I am going to try to push through it!


Come see us if you are local!
Hugs and Love!
I will be partying with the fabulous
My Romantic Home
and
How Sweet the Sound

Victoria's Suitcase

Inspired by the new
Adele song "Someone like you",
I created Victoria's suitcase....
Upon finding out that the love of her life is set to marry
another woman, Victoria hastily grabs her suitcase and rushes
to the train station.

He holds the key to her heart...
In a rush to be off, Victoria ties her pearls and other goodies to the top
of her suitcase...
She quickly glances in the mirror, not sure that her face can change his mind...
smoothing her hair and grabbing her favorite gloves and hat, her heart beats wildly.
Her mind is racing with doubt...
What if he says no, what if he doesn't love her, what if he does not choose her.
The pain in her heart burns with these thoughts,
but she must at least tell him how she feels...
to be continued....

I will be joining these lovely ladies

Shabby Chic Dining Room Transformation

Hello my darling friends!
I have been lightening up my dining room!
I went from light blue to pink on my pretty corner cabinet!
I LOVE IT!
This is my old brass $5 Chandy I scored at a garage sale!
I painted the chandelier white add some crystals and vintage shades!
I would love to have some of those over the top fancy ones you see in magazines...
maybe a trip to Michael's will help me fluff them up!


I used mirrors on both walls to make my tiny dining room look a little bigger!

This is the pretty over the top cherub centerpiece I created this week!
I am in love with the soft pinks and whites, I listed it in my Etsy store
(secretly I hope I get to keep her for awhile!)
My goodness I cannot tell you how fuzzy the colors pink and white make me feel!
Just a little "happy" to get me through my day of
being a full time wife, mommy, and junk dealer!
Well, my darlings! Happy Pink Saturday!
May it be blessed with happiness and joy!
I will be sharing this with
the fabulous Cindy at My Romantic Home
and
the fabulous Beverly at How Sweet the Sound
