Pretty White Wednesday

It's days like this that I am really thankful for my white and pastel decor. We have had nothing but gloominess, wind and rain. It's been like this for the month of June. We need the sunshine!
Last week I shared with you my friend Barb's beautiful deck. This White Wednesday I want to share some of her inside decor. She has treasures everywhere! Every corner you turn is another pretty vignette with lovely things. Thanks Barb for letting me come take pictures of your home and outdoor area!

White Wednesday

I haven't posted a White Wednesday for a long time, so I decided to post pictures of my friend Barb's deck. I posted pictures of her pretty shabby chic deck before, but these are new ones. Every year she revamps the deck and adds more pretties! Thanks Barb for letting me in to see your beautiful oasis. I sure wish I could have something like that outdoors!

Pretty Corsages

I wanted to share a picture of some corsages I making for Enchanted Makeovers. They are putting on a dance with vintage flair for Alternatives for Girls in Southwest Detroit. It's going to be a wonderful event for some very lucky girls. I used coffee filters, watercolors, vintage petals, butterflies, paper doilies and ribbon to make these pretty corsages. I hope the girls will enjoy them. Please check out the Enchanted Makeovers website. They can always use people to donate time, items and monetary donations.

Easter Basket Swap

I participated in Little Pink Studio's Easter Basket Swap this month. I wanted to share pictures of what I sent my partner, and what she sent me. I made her basket out of a vintage pink daisy hat. I used wire to make the handle and covered it with vintage seam binding. I also put cardboard (cut tightly to fit) in the bottom of the hat. I put flowers on each side...one I put a vintage earring in the middle of the flower. I made her a necklace with vintage pink wall paper and a small paper garland that she could use for a small tree for Easter. I also gave her fun spring scrapbooking or altered art buttons, baby pins, and pink rhinestones. I also put vintage pink rick rack, seam binding and vintage pink glitter. She loves dark chocolate...so she got Godiva gems and a marshmellow peep covered in dark chocolate. The final touch was a vintage pink bunny salt shaker and a small chenille chick. I love doing swaps...I love the little treasures you get! Thanks to my partner Tammie Moore...I love all my goodies. She sent me such great stuff. I got 2 doll heads, a lovely bracelet that I assume she made, vintage wallpaper trim, cupcake candle and stamp, a handmade altered art person, a small beaded coin purse, an antique picture, 3 sticker packs, velvet pink ribbon and so on! So many treasures! May all of you have a Blessed Easter! Enjoy your family and friends this coming weekend!

White Thursday

I never seem to make the "White Wednesday" post. For me it will be White Thursday. The bookshelf I revamped about a month ago is now residing in my living room. I am just loving it and all the treasures it holds. I wanted to share a few photos with you that I took today. Enjoy and have a good weekend!

Upcoming show!

I am so sorry my friends that I have been an absent blogger. I had a little mini vacation last week where I got to see my best friend. We haven't seen each other for 18 years because she's been living in South Korea for the last 5 years. She and her husband are missionaries over there and before that they were in Georgia. After all this time it was fun to finally see her and a bunch of my other friends from highschool and my old youth group. I even got to see my old youth pastor and his wife. We also attended his church that he planted about 7 years ago. It was such a great trip. It was like I was a teenager again. We even had 2 slumber parties. I also scored some fun things for my upcoming show this Saturday! For those of you in the Sioux Falls, SD area...it is this Saturday April 2nd from 9 am to 4 pm. It is out in Brandon, SD at Robyn's Nest. We will have lots of fun spring goodies, one of a kind pieces and junk rethunk. Come join us for a fun day of shopping. Directions: The sale will be at 48077 265th Street, Brandon, SD. Take East 10th Street to Highway 11 North and then take a left and go 1 1/4 miles and take a left on 265th Street. I promise to be back soon with more fun finds and decorating fun!

Easter touches

I have been working on a few projects for Easter time. I made some eggs out of pieces of quilt I had left. They are definitely not perfect, but I tried! I think they are cute anyways! I also have some pictures of bunnies that I have put around my house. I don't have lots of Easter decorations, and I prefer vintage. They are so hard to find cheap...and I don't pay antique store prices for stuff! Have a great week everyone!
