Wonderful White Wednesday

Sharing some romantic valentine tags i've been working on....

...love this image from The Graphics Fairy.
I've adorned the tags with vintage german glass glitter in the shape of a heart.




And i found this petite shelf with the glass jars at a thrift store...


...and gave them a "White Wednesday" facelift!


I painted the shelf and lids a creamy white...


...and decoupaged this French ephemera image onto it. 



I found a bagful of these glass spice jars. You know how I adore petite jars....

I embellished them with vintage lace....


...creamy crinkled seam binding...


....and French-inspired images transferred onto muslin.



And then filled with them petite tresors....


...mother of pearl buttons...


...vintage lace and bobbins.....

...and french ephemera.


(all available in my etsy shop soon)


Happy White Wednesday mes amies. 
I am linking up to Kathleen's Faded Charm Cottage!

Avec Amour,
~*~Michelle~*~

    Oooh, I don't know which to comment on first, it's all such eye candy! I'm adoring those tags, especially since my son is really into knights these days. Perfect transformation of those cute bottles & shelf - I wonder what they were originally used for?
    And now we see what that project in the works resulted in - bottles of tresors to please! Happy WW dear talented lady!
