Lace "Face" Lifts


Look! Look! I finally found a Millinery flower. I'm telling you I've been to tons of flea markets and thrift stores and Antique Malls & have still only seen a handful of millinery flowers no matter how big or small. I guess all of you talented shoppers/ bloggers have snatched them up:) This aqua one has just a few velvet discolored petals. I wish they made these now. The lace tags I had for sale in my Etsy shop have gotten a "face" lift. They needed more sparkles and pretties on the fronts of the tags. So here's what I came up with Blushing Beauty Lace Trim Tags

and Brilliant Butterfly Lace Trim tags



Some more vintage finds from the Antique Mall I was so excited to find. Things that would probably be abundant in California that are so difficult to find here. I intend to use these gorgeous glittered bells for garland.



One of my wonderful blog friends Sherry is having a Blogiversary party and weekly giveaways. Congratulations Sherry! I have to show what a lovely gift she sent my little Valencia for her new dance class starting up in 2 weeks. Her daughter also went to dance class and she passed on some outfits and shoes but threw in her extra sweetness by taking time to make Valencia a special Dance bag. Beautifully sewn! Thank you so much Sherry! Both girls love the bag & the outfits.

I'm so glad Valencia likes the bag and she looks so cute in the pink outfit!! I hope she enjoys dance. We aren't doing dance this year. It's the first time in 5 years, but we only have one car now and Earl needs it for work. I'm so sad!! Oh well, there's always next year.

Have a great time with dance!
Sherry
