Paris-inspired look.

Shabby Chic Decor 2

Shabby Chic Decor is popular today--and for good reason! It has all the dreamy elements of "yesteryear." I love creating new, as well as repurposed items for people's homes, whether they are clients who live locally or those I meet online through my shop.

I wanted to share this short video with you...Oh, there's music, so you might want to turn your sound up.

Have an awesome "shabby" day!

Love,

Cindy

Shabby Chic Decor Gift with Purchase!

Hi Everyone~

I have lots to share today! I have made these Shabby Chic

Torso tags with images from Shabby Cottage Studio.

If you need fabulous images, please head over and

take a look at their amazing graphics.

For the first 3 people who purchase something from

my Etsy store, one of these tag sets will be tucked

inside with their purchases as a gift from me.

If you do order, just let me know which color you

want and if it is available, I will be sure to send

it to you.

And now to the newest item in my Etsy shop...

This set of repurposed Shabby Chic cherubs with a wall

pocket.

Shabby Chic Decor and Romance

Hi Everyone~

I love Shabby Chic decor and I especially think it is

beautiful mixed with a little romance!

So, I thought I would share some of my

Depression Glass with you....

And I have made tags to accompany the pieces

with images from a fabulous collage sheet from

Dezinaworld!

I have also tied curly seam binding on each tag...

Tags offer a cute way to accent any collection that

you might have...Just an idea!!

Happy Pink Saturday!! and wishing you a

happy weekend!!!

JUST ADDED: WE ARE EXPECTING A STORM HERE

IN LOUISIANA, SO IF YOU DON'T HEAR FROM ME,

IT MEANS I LOST POWER-Thanks so much!

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!!!

Hi Everyone~

Well, there was quite a celebration at my house today as I just found out that I was published in Altered Arts Magazine's Summer Issue!

This frame collection just went into my Etsy shop today!

This collection can fit in with many decor styles.

Here is one of my Etsy pieces--an altered book bundle.

I'm so thrilled that it was chosen for an Etsy treasury!

I am on the design team for Scrap for Help. The July challenge is to make something about friendship, so when I found the image with the 2 ballerinas from the Graphics Fairy, I couldn't wait to use them for this theme. If you would like to enter the challenge, just go to Scrap for Help--it's really fun!

As many of you know, my husband just returned from a buying trip. When he was gone, among other things, he purchased these vintage door handles. I just popped them into my Etsy shop!

And this is my personal assistant Jamie--He was having so much fun posing for me! lol He is so LOVABLE, which is my word for Alphabet Thursday.

I am on the design team at Dezinaworld and the owner June just did a feature on my work. I hope you'll take a peek over there--I was so moved when I read it, that I couldn't believe my eyes. Thank you, June!!!

Have a wonderful week!!!
