Beach Cottage Decor

Hi Everyone~

Besides creating The Shabby Chic Girls' Club, I have

been a busy bee making these seaside creations.

I created a shadow box from a frame....

And here is an altered book with a seahorse charm...

An altered Mermaid bottle....

It's a way to keep the beach spirit around all year long...

and have a few moments to relax...

All of these items are available in my Etsy store.

Wishing you a Happy Day!!!

Vintage Book Bundles

Hi Everyone~

I love books, especially those tied into book bundles for display--I think they're dreamy. For these I have attached hand-stamped muslin with French writing and created 2 tags...The female graphic is from Dezinaworld--I adore this image!

Today, my husband and I combed antique malls where we found these books and this vintage camera--I just had to put the camera in the photo!

(Just Sold)

This book bundle is part of my 2 Market 2 Market section of my Etsy store where everything is $10 and under--I hope you'll take a look to snag some bargains!

I would like to dedicate this post in celebration of my friend's upcoming birthday this week. Lynne is an amazing artist and friend. Please join me in extending warm birthday wishes to her. Her blog is at: Adorn I am sure that many of you know Lynne too as she is just wonderful and so inspiring. I remember when I got an email from her once and how she talked about loving to read, so I thought books and the pure dreaminess of vintage images would put a smile on her face as she always creates such delicate treasures with beautiful graphics. Happy Birthday, Lynne!

AND I hope you're ALL having a great weekend!!!

My entry for the Altered Egg Challenge.

I just completed this Heartsong Bird tin. I no sooner got it put into my shop, then I received an email that it was chosen for a Shabby Chic Etsy Treasury--I was excited! If you'd like to see the other items in the treasury, just push the link.

I have been altering books for several months now, but they have all been sent off to various galleries, so I was very excited to have this one to alter and put into my Etsy store tonight! I just love placing them on a table to create a truly vintage look.
