Romancing Valentine's Day

Hi Everyone--
Some great news! My dear friend Roselle just
featured my Whimsical Bird Tray in her Etsy treasury~
"Dreamy Chic Whites."

I'm so excited! Thank you, Roselle. You are a doll!

The Etsy treasury can be found here:

Here is a new pink purse that I just created from
a matchbox--pure fun!

"Paris Rose" mixed media purse.
No, it's not to carry--it's a piece of mixed media art.


If you haven't guessed by now, I love pink!
As many of you know, I design for
Shabby Cottage Studio and the images for this piece
are from there!


Here are some miniature buckets that I just created
with a French Market theme. The images are from

Newest Items in my Etsy shop!

And here are my newest necklaces~
This one is called "Jeanne D'arc" and
features a Joan of Arc medal, keys, crown--
and more!

Perfect to add a little "vintage"and "French" to your
wardrobe at the same time.



"Queen of my Heart" Necklace~ features beautiful keys
and a crown.

I just popped the necklaces into my shop today!

Also, if you have not entered my giveaway for the
vintage necklace, please scroll down and take a
look at the next post.

Wishing you all a Happy Valentine's Day!

As many of you know, I am in New Orleans--Next week, you can look
forward to lots of Mardi Gras celebrating on here!

Linking this to Pink Saturday!

and to Debra at Deja Renew!!!

I love all your designs Cindy, the papers, colours and ideas are amazing. You have inspired me to look again at some little metal crowns I bought recently and make a necklace. There are just so many things I want to play with and not enough hours in the day.
Congrats on being featured.

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

You've been so busy, Cindy! I have had almost no time this week and after getting home from the day job have just been pooped! I'm hoping to get some projects down on the weekend though {and fit in a client consult!}. Everything is so beautiful. I had a set of my decorator books featured in three Etsy treasuries but wasn't sure how to copy it over, but maybe I could do the link to them like you did. Congrats on that ~ it's always nice when someone likes your "stuff"!

Suz said...

Cindy,

I am so longing to make things again. I hope that someday soon there will be time!

Suz

Cindy - these are so cute. My granddaughter spent the night and I'm going to have to show it to her. She'll love it! I already had you listed on my Valentine Blog Party post but just added this link as well as it's another fun idea for activities for grandparents and grandchildren. Thank you for being so wonderfully creative to help those, like me, who are not so much. :)

Kathy said...

Cindy - these are quite lovely - Love the buckets! The neckaces are wonderful - we have some skeleton keys - before we moved in and updated the locks - that's how the previous owners locked their doors - the old-fashioned way!
Hope you have a great weekend,
Kathy
