I have had these awesome tin crowns
on my website
for a couple of weeks and have just
loved them!
The other day I was finally getting
a chance to go through the
winter issue of
Jeanne d'Arc Living
and saw the same crowns :)
They are in an article called
"New & Old in a Beautiful Mix" ~
How fun! I knew I loved them because
I pretty much adore
Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine!!
It is all about Paris and Crowns this week at Katies Rose Cottage and Katies Rose Cottage Designs ~
Anything Paris and anything with Crowns was hot at Market this year and I was thrilled because they are some of my favorites !!
Here is just an example of some of the new things we have just listed ~
I just finished attending an amazing conference at Gateway Church in Texas called "Pink Impact Crowned for Greatness" ~ it was 3 days of amazing music and speakers ~ the speakers were Tony Evans wife, Lois Evans and Christine Caine from Hillsong Church in Australia ~
I loved the name of the conference ~ what it means is that as women we have can make a huge impact on the world and we are crowned for greatness because we are children of the heavenly king ~
It was so much fun to see all of the decorations because they were so what I love ~ pink and crowns ~
The flower bouquets all had sweet little tiaras or crowns ~ your ticket in to the conference was a little rhinestone crown pin ~ even the bathrooms were all decorated with pink and crowns ~ it was soooo girly !
I can't wait until next year !! I don't think it will come fast enough ~
I am on the far right and my daughter is sitting next to me ~ the other ladies are some friends that went with us ~
I have been all about crowns lately ~ I just love them ~
It all started with the Bible verse Isaiah 62:3 "You will be a Crown of Splendor in the Lord's hand ...."
And to know that I am a daughter of the Heavenly King ~
My new website has a crown because of this ~
I know crowns were HUGE at market this year and for me when I see them I always think of these things ~
I just got done adding some wonderful new items to Katies Rose Cottage ~
If you have visited us very much you will know that I love crowns ~
One of my favorite verses that I think of with crowns is ~
Isaiah 62:3
"You will be a crown of beauty in the Lord's hand "
We just added some crown soldered charms to our jewelry category ~
We also listed some gorgeous handmade rose ribbon pins that have a wonderful vintage look ~ I love these because they can be used to embellish clothes as well as purses or gifts ~
The last thing that I wanted to show you are these awesome pink rose buckets that are in the Romantic Home category ~ this is one of my favorite collaged prints so I was so excited to find these ~
I just love crowns & tiaras and am drawn to them wherever I go ~
It started when I went to a retreat called "Pink Impact" and the theme was how we are crowned for beauty in the Lord's hand ~
So I made a t-shirt with this on the front ~
And I have tons of crowns in all different categories of my website ~
Here are some of them that are there now or will be coming back soon ~
I just spent the day at the Dallas Home and Gift Market ~ it is beyond HUGE and pretty much overstimulating ~
I ordered tons of awesome things that I cannot wait to get on my website ~
So what was the trend of this market ???
CROWNS ~ it was all about crowns, skeleton keys and chandeliers ~ I was sooo excited because those are some of my very favorite things ~ I also ordered some pretty vintage looking pink and silver Christmas goodies ~
Ohhhh and birds are still very very big ~ I love anything with birds too so I was pretty excited about that too ~
Besides crowns, skeleton keys and chandeliers, it was all about animal print bags at the Dallas market this year ~
At first I didn't really like them but they kind of grew on me after seeing them everywhere ~ This is a carry on bag for the airlines that I got that rolls, I really like it !
This is a picture of my daughters and niece eating ice cream with their new animal prints ~ don't they look so thrilled :o)
It was about 100 degrees and the humidity was high so by then we were all melting and tired ~
Until next time have a super day !
The other day I was in at Lone Star Antique Mall
and found (at Bountiful ) this most precious purse filled with
shredded vintage paper and a sweet vintage photograph ~
I just adore it so it is going in my bedroom that is
going to be transformed after the hub bub of Christmas ~
I am loving transferring images to fabric
so today I washed some muslin bags to
make them look wonderfully crinkly and then
added some crowns ~
Also the other thing that I just love lately
is shredded vintage paper ~
How cute it is in so many things just like the purse ~
I will have some for sale soon .... just because it is fun !
So I just looked at my clock on my
computer and it is only 8:30 and
I am sleepy ~ What is up with that !
When does the time change again ??
