Freebies, Inspiration, New Collages

Some new collages on matboards recycled from Freecycle

 

Love these vintage photos!  I can't seem to collect enough of them.  Especially the little girls with those cute dresses and hair bows.

 

 

 

 

As always, I find a treasure trove of awesome things while surfing the net.

Cool fabric stickers that are just gorgeous and unique.

Pretty Window and Giveaway Extended

So I finally put my wedding veil collection and organ music rolls to use.  I decorated my craft room window with them.  I love looking at the beauty of the tulle fabric, don't you?  I am in love with tulle!

This huge puff is a wedding crinoline I got from Freecycle (you know how much I love Freecyling).  See where I put it.  On my TV in my craft room.  Its been squashed in my closet for weeks and I finally liberate it.

Wanted to give all my followers a chance to win so, I'm extending the Allmodern.com giveaway 1 more week.  I will choose a name on April 18. 

Good luck, everyone!

Baby Bibs and Giveaways

Hi friends. I purchased these two tiny baby bibs from my favorite antique store a while ago and I finally did something with them.  Hope you like them.

Got those blue flower bows at my favorite thrift store.

I love that I can work with fabric and paper.

Ready for some giveaways.  I'm amazed at how many there are out in blogland all the time.  Here are just three of them.  They have the sweetest gifts up for grabs. Click the images to get to them.

 

Thanks for visiting and good luck on those giveaways!

More of OWOH giveaway winnings came in the last few days!  Barbara of  Vintage Bunty sent me her exceptional ATCs and beautiful ephemera and ATC supplies:

 

  

Isn't her work exquisite!!!  I love all her 3D elements and lace.

 

And this prize from yet another extremely talented artist, Heather from BluhmStudios:

  She created this beautiful fabric cuff just for me.  The colors, the trims, the fabric all my favorites!!!!!! Truly, exquisitely unique.  And do you see that sweet card.  Her's also.

How beautiful is this!

Thank you both, Ladies.  What an honor to receive your beautiful creations!  What a bright moment, in some dark days for me, it was to receive your art.  You're so kind and generous! 

Bits & Bubbles Swap

What I'm sending to my partner, Kathy:

Bits of fabric, ribbon, lace, ephemera

Buttons, fibers, leather cord

Music sheets, scrapbook papers, wallpaper border, a paper butterfly I painted in gold paint and glittlered the edges

Malissa Rose of Sleepy Hollow Folk Art Originals is hosting this swap and has asked that we post photos of what's being sent and received. This is my first of such swaps and its been so much fun gathering things for my partner and I'm excited to see what surprise goodies are coming. I think a supplies swap are the best! Thanks, Malissa for organizing this and doing a fabulous job for your first time hosting a swap.

'till next time,
