Here's a picture from the wedding last weekend down in W.Palm Beach FL. It was 85! The ocean was actually warm.
It was a LONG day. Poor thing is looking at me saying when are we EVER going to go home :)I wanted to share these sweet cones I started on a couple of weeks ago and have been sitting forlornly in my dining room waiting for all their finery. I finished them today and I think they came out darling. Perfect for upcoming spring and Easter. They are part vintage goodness and new items. I just love the color combos--something a little different and the vintage blue flower is just gorgeous. I rummaged through a HUGE (blushing) tupperware bin (you know those storage ones!) that is overflowing with ribbons and found the perfect match!
The rose paper cone has a vintage strawberry and I used fabric to make the cute covering on the top.
Off for sushi tonight since we couldn't afford W.Palm Beach seafood prices--egads what a rip off! High season right now and prices are awful!
I hope to do a little more crafting tomorrow but we'll see.
Have a great weekend!

Photo of downtown Greenville where I live called Falls Park. We have a beautiful river that runs through it and an awesome suspension bridge. It's a nice place to relax and watch the world go by on a warm Autumn day.We had our photos in black and white before it became popular. I love this photo. I came up with the flower arrangement of deep burgundy roses, blush pink fill in, and tied with gorgeous burgundy ribbon. I remember the florist insisted on keeping my idea. Ha! Now you don't see an arrangement without it tied with ribbon. Hmmmm....
My little October Pumpkin is born on 10/10/07. We are blessed. Fast forward to 10/10/08 and my Little Pumpkin is ONE! See her birthday pics below!
and Mommy is so excited to 'dress' the house this year even if she is worn out from working FT outside the home, chasing Little Pumpkin, and trying to craft somewhere in between!
Welcome!
This is a Fall collage I made.
Here we are on my deck~~Let's sit and have some wine~~oh, I do have sweet tea~~can't live in the Deep South without that~
*Note to self--get help for the flower fetish!*Christmas ought to be interesting this year! Anyone know how to hang a real Christmas Tree from the ceiling? Little D is going to be inside that tree, I know it! I'll be putting my soft ornaments or my unbreakable Hallmark one's up this year~~Ha!
I did buy this awesome felt ornie kit from Alicia Paulson! Can't wait to snuggle in bed and work on those! Check them out~~can you say cute :)
What I believe my tree will look like on 12/26.MIL likes to remind Big D that his brother dragged their Christmas Tree around the house one year around Little D's age. *YIKES* The two dogs ought to enjoy that if it happens!
Happy Autumn !
Finally! The long weekend allowed me some time to actually work on my designs. I love all the new ones. Perfect for all those summer parties, special occasions, weddings, showers, and my favorite, just because!
This lovely is Elizabeth. I love this salvaged beauty. So classic..reminds me of Audrey Hepburn. This came from a damaged necklace and I added vintage faux pearls in the most beautiful shade of gray which you can not find now a days.
Close up of that beautiful vintage rhinestone button I used.
This pretty 18 inch necklace is made with dyed freshwater pearls, silvertone ring, and a gorgeous vintage rhinestone button. Simple yet elegant!
This is Alcott.
Fits 7.5inch wrist comfortably. Vintage pale pink czech glass beads, vintage crystal beads, vintage faux pearls simulated to look like freshwater pearls, a beautiful shade of ivory, and vintgage rhinestone beads. Stretch cording was utilized to keep the look clean.
Crystella :
This gorgeous necklace is made with opalite glass, vintage cyrstals salvaged from broken necklaces, silvertone ring, and beautiful velvet ribbon embellished with a sweet pink rose. The pictures do not do this gemstone justice.The necklace is 18 inches long and you could lengthen another 5 inches or so based on how tight you do the ribbon. I love the look of the gorgeous ribbon tie to drape down the neck or to the side to add that little extra.
Absolutely stunning!
All these beauties would be perfect for a special occasion, party, wedding, shower, or my favorite, just because. It would look beautiful on a bride or bridesmaid!
