Creamy..Dreamy....

I had some requests for some cream/white tone on tone bags....SOooooo this is what I came up with.....

Creamy vintage lace and hand stamped flowers with a beautiful vintage rhinestone brooch.

A little hard to see the difference in the textures and fabrics in the pictures but the white on white bag is a wonderful textured white upholstery fabric on the base and the flap is made out of a beautiful white on white damask print that I found in a vintage shop. I added the tan trim for a little bit of color.

The tan and cream bag is another find of a creamy damask fabric with a tan upholstery fabric base and tan trim, along with vintage laces and hand stamp flower.

I just loved how they came out so creamy...and dreamy......

Both these bags are sold.....but I am working on some more. Stay tuned!

A New Year...A Better Year...

Sorry about not posting for a while now ..but all I can say is GOOD BYE to 2010...so ready to see you go! Guess you can figure out it was not the best of years for me. Don't get me wrong I had some great things happen, and I attended some awesome events in 2010....but also had some sad things and frustrating things too! I am not one to post the sad things I deal with in life but sometimes you just need to share with your family and friends and I consider you bloggers to be my friends! On that note my husband and I spent part of Christmas Eve (till 2 am Christmas morning) at the Animal Hospital ER with our adopted lab Chase. After our evening with 20 of our family members he just couldn't get up and I just knew something was wrong....he stayed till late Sunday night and the tests results revealed cancer, which is what they had suspected. So I have been kind of out of things just dealing with all of this and taking care of him and all the meds he needs. Of course they can do chemo but very..very ..expensive ($15,000and up) and of course no guarantee it will cure. Seems so cruel to have to make a decision like this but all we can do is love him and spoil him for the time he has left........you just get attached so quickly and he really has been just the perfect pet. But for now I am in crisis mode for awhile....



So for me I am ready for a new year of new adventures and events, and I am starting out the new year with my first trip to AZ next week for another one of Terri Brushes classes...this time I will be making a bracelet. I will be staying with one of sweetest gal I met at Art Camp in the fall , Marianne. Her and her sister in law Barb were just the sweetest ladies, and Marianne invited both Karen and I to come stay with her for this event.....so I will be on my way next week. As for Karen she will be driving and staying with one of her good friends there and both of them will be attending Terri's classes. What I great way to start off the New year..Oh and I will get to see my sweet friend Maija there too! YEAH...AZ here I come!
