Like a Kid in a Candy Store--Published in Romantic Homes Magazine!

Hi Everyone~

Today I am like "a kid in a candy store"

with great news to share~I just found out

that I am featured in the new October issue

of Romantic Homes magazine~I'm so

excited!

And, to add to my excitement, I am being featured on

White Wednesday with the wonderful Kathleen today!

How awesome is that? Kathleen, thank you so much!

So for this day, I wanted to share some

special treasures....

To me, tartlett tins are like special trinkets--and have

so many possibilities for repurposing.

Here is a vintage Swedish tin from my Etsy store that

has a Joan of Arc medal from Italy and hand-stamped

seam binding...

A vintage bottle with Miraculous Medal and

hand-stamped seam binding available in my

Etsy shop.

Here is a set with 4 different shapes. These would

be perfect to make refrigerator magnets or Christmas

ornaments...

Vintage photo and tins...

Thank you so much for visiting!!!

Shabby Chic Decor--Setting a Vintage Mood

Hi Everyone~

If you love vintage style, there are simple ways to add timeless flair to your surroundings. You can tie hand-stamped seam binding around your silverware. (This is actually an old pattern that my husband picked up recently on one of his buying trips.)

A vintage photo with a pair of gloves is always dreamy...

An old doorknob can be placed almost anywhere that you want to add character....

A skeleton key placed next to a photo can be quite effective too.

A wonderful friend of mine named Velma recently sent me a collection of old family photos. Thank you, Velma! If you look closely, you’ll notice that the woman in these pictures had her photographs taken in front of a chicken coop. (Little did she know that chicken wire would be so popular for home decorating in the future!) I will be sharing more of these photos as time goes on.

Wishing you all a wonderful week!
