I have always loved to take old pieces from flea markets and recreate them into wonderful cottage chic treasures with paint, distressing and one of my favorite things, appliques ~

I recently found some sweet appliques that I love ~ these are already painted white and have a distressed look so they can be used for so many different things ~ I just go the sweet frames in and I want to tie one with a big pink ribbon and hang it on my bulletin board just because it would be so cute !

You can find these and more in the Create It Yourself category of my website ~

We are so excited to carry supplies for making soldered charms ~ Simply Swank soldered charm items are perfect for us too because they are all pink ! I love it !

They are all at an introductory price of
15 % off for a short time only ~
Get them in our "Create It Yourself" Category at this amazing price while you can ~

I love to find vintage millinery flowers but they are pretty hard to find in Texas ~
I wanted to show you how new millinery flowers take on an awesome vintage look with just a little tea staining ~
I really love the colors and how they came out so old looking ~

This is how they looked before ~

And this is what they look like after tea staining ~

You can get them without the tea staining on my website in the Create It Yourself category ~

I am lost deep in the depths

of cleaning my studio ~

I figured since I had a trail from

the door to my sewing machine

and to my computer that it was

time to clean and destash like

craziness!!

I have so much stuff that I think

I might use to create with ....

Stuff to do photo vignettes with ....

and just stuff I am not sure why with ~

Anyway ... so I have been pulling things

out and trying to list stuff in

my flea market category that I won't use

anymore ~ And also taking a bunch to

the thrift store that I don't feel

like listing because I am over it ~

These pictures are to make you all

feel really good about yourself and

to keep me accountable to finish ~

I am such a candidate for

Where Women Create aren't I ~ Hahaha !!

Alrighty I am back to burying myself

in "STUFF" ~

Update #1

I need a gazillion plastic bins !!

Update #2 ~ 8:08 p.m.

Oh my gosh I can see the floor ~

I need to stop and spend time with my hubby

but just maybe it will be done in

ohhhhh about a week !
