Shabby Chic Decor and Altered Bottles

Oohh-la-la Bottle

Hi Everyone~

I think that Shabby Chic Decor is so dreamy! I created

these altered bottles and wanted to share them with you.

This bottle was designed for a client. I design

for Shabby Cottage Studio and created this

from their images.

Shabby Cottage Style

Hi Everyone~

I hope you're having a wonderful summer!

I wanted to show you some of my newest items in my

Etsy shop...I adore designing pieces with burlap.

And I love creating anything with a "beach cottage" theme...

This piece is actually a perfect blend of seaside with

a popular industrial feel.

The 2 bottles featured in this post are antiques that I have altered. If you notice, the one at the top has a glass handle on it.

As I am writing this, I am having issues with my computer, so if you don't hear from me, please understand.

Dreaming in Vintage

Hi Everyone~

I have a love of all things romantic and I thought I'd

share some pics of vintage pieces that are in my studio.

To this photo, I added a background digitally

and created a new tag logo for my Etsy shop.

The fabulous French writing background is from

Shabby Cottage Studio for whom I design.

Here is one of my antique bottles...

And a collection of them...

Most of these are over 100 years old...

and are available in my Etsy shop.

And here is a tag I just completed for Jenny Matlock. ("H" is for Happy Surprise for a Friend.) If you notice, there is a vintage typewriter on it (part of a beautiful graphic sheet from Dezinaworld.) As I design for this company also, I couldn't wait to use that new graphic sheet in one of my pieces. A typewriter is part of Jenny's blog header--so, I thought it would be a sweet surprise!

I hope you're all having a dreamy day!

XO

Cindy
