Peter Rabbit!!

Yesterday it rained and rained...so I painted and glued and stuffed! Made the most awful mess! but, out of my mess came this cute little bunny! He's got the key to my heart... The flowers around his net are from an old hat that I've been stealing from !

Spring is still weeks away, but I'm ready! Life is alot more fun in cute sandals and flowery tops that coats and icky old boots!!

Hope

I guess I've got Spring Fever! Here's the Dove I designed yesterday. It was really fun...She's sitting on a very glittery nest, and the flowers are from an old hat I found at my local antique store. Her name is Hope...

it's funny, the day I came home with the old hat, I tried it on for my husband. You should of seen the fear in his eyes!!

My New Banner!!

I'm so happy to now have a pretty banner! No more "blog-envy" for me...

I found Tiffanyjane on Etsy, but she also has a really cool website...www.beyondthevintagepath.com

Tiffany was a really patient girl dealing with me!

You see...just uploading pictures is a very big step for moi! When I can find someone willing to put up with my questions and not run away as far as possible...I'm happy!

Thanks Tiff !!

The Sacramento Antique Faire

I had a really fun weekend...my husband and I

went to the best flea market! It's held under the freeway close to downtown Sacramento. It was kind of weird at first...I'm glad the cars driving over me stayed on the road! There were vendors from San Francisco to Oregon!

I was on a mission to find treasures to use in my designs...and came home with a great big bag overflowing! That's a good day!

They do this every month on the second sunday.

I'm planning on going back again...and again!!

Treasures!!

My goodness! I LOVE old patterns! I was able to get a giant box full of patterns from the 30's to the 60's! My favorite is for the ice skating skirt and matching underpants!! Hey, you never know when that might come in handy!
I'm going to have sooo much fun with these...
I also found some really cool pocket watches...
some jewlrey and a necklace tha reminds me of the one the old woman threw overboard in the Titanic movie...I'm still mad that she did that!

The big pink house

My husband and I were on our way to meet

friends for lunch when we came accross this estate sale! You don't come by a 10,000 ft. pink

mansion everyday!

At the risk of being late for lunch...well we just had to stop!! How could we not?!

Although I didn't come home with any treasures, it was so fun wondering around this grand old estate. It had it all...from a very Gone with the Wind staircase, a library, and a ballroom-ish dining room! I was only able to get pictures of the bathroom...it was very dark and really crowded. Sorry about that!

I can only imagine what this home was like in the day...

Time stood still

This was really weird...and sort of touching at the same time. Everything in the medicine cabinet was from at least the 60's! I'm old enough to remember "Gel set"! Most of the containers were full! I don't know why this facinated me so much, but it did.

A brand new bottle of Breck shampoo...?

The tub of my dreams

I have a new goal in life...a pink tub!
Isn't this the cuttest darn tub?
Perfect for floating rose petals...don't ya think?

The Queen of France!!

This was one of those times when You finish a project and dance around like a fool! I have to say, Marie turned out just like I wanted her to! Sort of a cross between the painings, movies and fairytales!! It was really fun playing with a combination of really old laces and modern "brides-maidish" fabrics!
This all started when I was looking at a book about Marie Antoinette that had a painting of her in her wedding gown...she was only 14 years old!! Can you imagine!
Anyway, the dress was breathtaking!! So totally over the top!!
I started sketching...and wa la!!
If anyone has any interest in my designs...you can e-mail me at jsncrafts@surewest.net

I had the best time with maries hair...and the glue gun burn to show for it!! My goose donated one of his feathers for her hair decoration...

Oh la la!!

Au Revoir...
