A LADYLIKE VIGNETTE FOR THE WALL

A Ladylike Vignette For The Wall

I had a beautiful vintage beaded evening bag and my ribbon work brooch that I got from Lambs & Ivy on Etsy.  I wanted to display both of these beautiful pieces, so I looked around our bedroom and this frame jumped out at me.  I had one of my hand painted canvases in it but I wanted something different.  That something different turned out to be a beautiful ladylike vignette featuring the beaded evening bag and my ribbon work brooch.  

I started with this...

And I put it together like this...

And I ended up with this....

I think it turned out to be a really pretty vignette.  I might need to find a vintage pair of gloves to incorporate into my new Ladylike Vignette, maybe a pink pair. 

Hanging on our bedroom wall...

In bright light...

Lovely addition to our bedroom decor...

So in between visiting our family for Thanksgiving, making our own Thanksgiving on Sunday and getting our Christmas Tree, I manage to make something beautiful. 

Here's to making life beautiful,

I 'M DREAMING OF A PINK CHRISTMAS

Wishing You and Yours A Very Happy Thanksgiving

I'm Dreaming Of A Pink Christmas...

I wanted to send my wishes to all my blogger friends for a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving.  I thought I would share some of my Christmas decorating with you all.  I have uploaded lots of photos.  Hope you enjoy them.  

White and Pink Christmas Tree

My vintage pink Angel tree topper. I added the tiara to her and tons of pink sheer ribbon. 

I also gave you a pretty French Crystal. 

My large glitter paper Churches.  I made the needle felt Santa and Snowman. 

My Manger and lots of Pink Bottle Brush Trees.

My Pink Santa

This is an original Harold Gale Pink Santa from the 1950's.

Vintage pink ceramic Christmas tree. 

My snowman, I added the snow. 

Vintage spun cotton paper mache snowmen and angels with my glitter houses and church. 

I am thinking about what to use for snow for my village.  I will take new photos once I decide on what to use. 

My vintage snow babies.

Around the room....

UPDATE:  
Now that I have finished decorating I wanted to add a few more photos of our pink Christmas. 

Rachael Ashwell Shabby Chic Ornaments.

I added white sparkle garland to my Putz styled village complete with vintage snowmen and angels. 

My antique mantel is now ready for Christmas. 

  A panoramic photo of our Living Room. 

Our Audrey even got a tiara for the Holidays. 

We also found this beautiful tin that is a book and filled with tea.  

And finally the last thin I wanted to share.  My neighbor gave me some art supplies and inside with some painting books I found this paper. This is just a sample of the paper and there are tons more vintage images on it.  I am thinking and you never know what I might have to make using these sweet images. 

I will take more photos as I decorate more.  I have not decorated our family room yet but I will be doing that this coming week.  For the first time in quite a few years we are getting a real tree for our family room.  More to come, so we will see you very soon. 

Once again, I wanted to wish everyone in the US, 

A Very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving Day. 

Hope everyone has a beautiful start to the Holiday Season,

ADDING LACE TO A CARDIGAN AND A NEW BUTTON BRACELET

Adding Lace To A Cardigan

And

A New Button Bracelet

I love beautiful feminine things and this week I added some lace to a cardigan and I made a pretty button bracelet. 

Adding Lace To A Cardigan!

I found this really soft and feminine cardigan for only  a few dollars.  Although I really liked it, I thought it could be even better.  So with that in mind I decided to add some lace to it.  This is a super easy project but the end product is just lovely.  I picked out a pretty lace that was already ruffled and I simply stitched in onto the sweater following the edges around the buttons and collar.  I love how it turned out and it is a easy and fun project that almost anyone can do.  

    Teal Blue Beverly Button Bracelet

A few months ago Doni at Faith Grace and Crafts sent me a package filled with beautiful things.  Inside the box I found some beautiful buttons and I was inspired to make a button bracelet with them.  The bracelet turned out beautiful and I always get so many compliments on it when i wear it.   

You can see my Doni Button Bracelet here.  

I wanted to try making another button bracelet so I looked for buttons that I found beautiful and I happened upon these teal blue flower buttons and I then started looking for buttons to mix with them.  I ended up with some beautiful buttons.

Here are some vintage glass buttons.  Notice the blue ones have birds on them, so sweet....

Here is everything I had to choose from for my new bracelet. 

So I went to work making my bracelet.  I used stretchy string, the buttons and some ribbon.  I arranged the buttons on the string until I had them the way I liked them and simply tied it off and added a ribbon.  I love sheer ribbons with jewelry.  

I love how it turned out and I can't wait to wear it...

Once I finished these projects I moved on to decorating for Christmas  I will share what I have been doing in my next post.  Also, coming up I am going to be making a lace Bible cover/tote.  This will be a gift for my mom.  Don't worry she doesn't see my blog, she does not like the interwebs very much.  So be sure to come back and visit.

And on....

I am looking for some sparkly crown ornaments for my Christmas tree.  If you have seen them anywhere or have any suggestions please leave me a comment. 

Warmest Wishes For A Fabulous Start 

To The Holiday Season!
