A Mermaid Tea

Just over a week ago, I had the pleasure of attending a Mermaid Tea hosted by Heidi and her sweet friend Janet. It was such a fabulous afternoon!


I brought Heidi some of my vintage wallpaper that I had been promising to get to her. I took this photo on my way out the door, and then forgot to put my camera in my purse! Yikes! So I have no photos of Heidi's GORGEOUS house or the fabulous afternoon that we had. Her home is truly beautiful... I loved everything about it! Vintage-y, cottage-y, warm and welcoming. Maybe someday when my girlies are older I can pull of the white-on-white look too! You can see Heidi's photos of the event HERE.

I had the pleasure of spending much of the afternoon with Crystal. She is such a doll! We had a fun time chatting, sipping yummy iced tea, and creating our project ~ embellished bottles from the sea. I can't even tell you how much I enjoyed being able to sit and relax and make something... this summer has been crazy!


This is my creation. I love how it turned out, reminiscent of the old fashioned Sailor's Valentine's. I still need to finish off the top. I'm thinking that it needs some more ribbon, and some bling... :)


Thank you so much, Heidi, for welcoming us to your home for this fantastic event! ~xo

Vintage Embroidery Motifs

I added these vintage embroidery motifs to the shop a few weeks ago, and they have been quite popular! I adore them, myself! Just so fun and colorful! They come in themed packages of 12, and you can find them right HERE.

Here are some close-ups:


The ones above are from the Pastel Collection.


These are from the Brights Collection.


And these are from the Children's Collection.

I've had a few emails asking what you can do with them.
Some ideas:
Embellish an apron, tea towel, or tote bag.
Add to an altered book, journal, or scrapbook.
Use on a crazy quilt, art quilt, or other fabric art.
Add them to a collage or other mixed media piece.

What would YOU do with them???
I'll send some of them to the first 10 people to comment below!
Edit: I've got the 10 names. Great ideas! I'll be sending the embroidery pieces out this week.
More product giveaways to come!)
(P.S. Samantha ~ I need your address.)

A Beachy Weekend

I had such a fun birthday weekend!

We headed to the beach for a weekend of shopping, yummy food, and of course.... the ocean!
LOVE it there!

The girls were on a hunt for seashells.


We didn't find any! At all! Which was a little strange.
Still, a fun time was had by all!


Thank you guys for the sweet wishes!
The winner of my birthday giveaway is...
#26 Vivian !!!
