Shabby Chic Kissing Ball

Hello lovelies!

Well, I have had out my handy "hot glue gun"
and pouf pouf, I created this pretty romantic tassel/ kissing ball!

I love to collect different scraps of pretty lace,I usually pick up lace scraps in the craft department at
our local resale shops!
For this little beauty I used a lavender sachet as the base...

Next I cut and tied layers of lace and ribbon to give it fullness!
At the top I added the softest touch of maribu feather!
Ooooh la la so frenchy and delicious!
Now....where is Mr. Romantic...
Giggles!

Have a fabulous day!
I will be sharing this with
My Romantic Home
and
Pink Saturday
Hugs,
Olivia

Love notes

While reading an old issue of Southern Lady,
I stumbled upon a poet by the name of Violet Witherspoon.
I found her story interesting and her poetry lyrical...

	No debt is owed a smile, however warm, That brightened hearthstone cold on gray-branched day, Nor dearness of an eye that shone with special charm And lighted lowest clouds along their way. For spoken kindess let no payment pass, Though in truth such never fell unheard, Nor yet for look, nor dress, nor studied stance Seen loudly clothed in pale and dying word. Only a sightless scene deserves the fee: 'Twas but a hand laid lightly o'er my own, A momentary mime, mute reverie, For hands sing songs with words to lips unknown. Unseen by thee who played the mummer's part, In recompense for hand, I gave my heart. January 3, 1905

A small entertainment for my Monday!
I had a fabulous and blessed Birthday! My day started with pink pancakes...
need I say more! My hot hubbie and
I got to actually go on a real date!
Thank you all for the sweet wishes
(and for even kind of believing I'm close to 26 years old, gigles!!
Big hugs,
Olivia

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!

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

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
