I love vintage bark cloth

I found these at a community sale this past weekend - vintage bark cloth drapes. A young man was selling some of his grandmother's belongings. I spied them from the sidewalk and made a mad dash for them. Isn't the pattern lovely?  I love the coral pink flowers with touches of aqua.

I found a wonderful old scrapbook at the flea market this past weekend. It is loaded with great old photographs. Here are a few for you to use in your artwork.....

Romantic Vintage Inspired Tags

I made these as a special order for a customer. Haven't done any of these in awhile, and I have missed creating!

Strevens prints

I love prints by Frederick John Lloyd Strevens. I was lucky enough to find this pair of framed prints recently, and they are in my Etsy shop. You can enjoy some of his work streamed on YouTube here.

Framed Cottage Chic Collage

I just finished this little project. I purchased a vintage easel-back frame from one of my favorite shops, Rose Petals and Rust. It didn't have a glass insert, and there was plenty of space between the back and the frame - perfect for creating this collage and giving it a shadowbox effect.

Happy 4th!

Jeweled Frames for Wedding Reception

I did a custom order of upcycled vintage frames for a client to use for table numbers at her wedding reception. She was kind enough to send pictures of them in use. Thanks Caroline! Frames were painted silver and distressed, then vintage rhinestone pieces bonded to the frames.
