Apple Green Child's Chair

I finished this little upcycle project yesterday - it's already sold to a local photographer to use as prop in children's photos.  I painted the little chair an apple green, distressed it a bit, and then added a walnut stain which I quickly wiped off.

I'm ready for the Birdsong Tag Book Swap!

I finished my tags well ahead of the mail-in deadline for Karla Nathan's Birdsong Tag Book Swap - these were so fun to do!

For The Vintage Wedding

I'm delighted to participate in Angelic Accents wedding blog party  (just click on the link on the sidebar to visit lovely participating blogs) - I chose a few photos of vintage wedding inspiration:

Through The Eyes of a Child

I wanted to share this collage piece I just finished, inspired by this gorgeous image of a little girl from The Graphics Fairy. I love her soulful eyes.  Children are so precious and innocent for such a short time....forget about the insignificant things - the housework will wait.....grasp the moments and cherish them.

My BLESSINGS journal, and a some recent finds

I am taking part in Christian Paper Crafts Thursday Bible Verse Challenge.  I want to share my Blessings Journal that I just finished. In it I am writing my daily blessings - the unexpected things that the Lord sends that bring me joy and make my heart overflow.

Here are my yard sale finds today. I found a fabulous art glass vase, china teacups and saucers made in Austria, a huge roll of silky ribbon used as blanket binding - isn't it a yummy color?, and a darling wooden drawer with a label bracket on the front and divided sections. This would be great sitting on a coffee table filled with curiosities, or as a base for altered art.  I hope you find some great things this weekend as well!
