There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends.
I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.

Happy Friday!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful week! This post has lots of photos so please be patient for the upload.
Here are some vintage linen hand towels I embellished with vintage lace and buttons. These lovelies will be posted in my Etsy store this weekend.



Here are two photos of our antique window collection. I just love the old windows!

The following photos are some of what I am calling my vintage stash.


This is a shadow box I made using a vintage image, lace, bottle, and jewelry. This is one of the August design projects for the Shabby Cottage Studio.


I am planning on listing a LOT of fabrics from my collection in the next couple of weeks. So please check back often as I will provide information on the listings.
Hope everyone has a great and safe weekend!
Hugs, Sharon

New Digital Art

This is a photo I altered in Photoshop using a vintage image.
For these digital collages I used digital papers and element by Susan at Raspberry Road Designs. She offers freebies weekly and beautiful digital kits...so check out her store! The second digital collage I used an altered photo from Gail Schmidt at Shabby Cottage Studio. Visit her store for wonderful items for your art.
Explore. Dream. Discover.

Back from vacaton...Gulf Shores, AL

Our trip was wonderful! Don had a great time visiting his family. My sister and niece went with on this trip. It was great just to relax and enjoy family! I will be posting some photos of our trip and my vintage finds next week.

I applied/signed up for a new shop ~ LolliShops. I have read about the new website on other artist blogs. So when I received an invite...felt honored. Looking forward to creating some whimsical art for sale!

Hope everyone has a great and safe weekend!
