White Wednesday

It's a winter wonderland outside my window today. Here on the East Coast we're in the middle of yet another snowstorm. And... although i think newly fallen snow is quite lovely...i'm thinking "Spring" on the inside today! So... i thought i'd share some of the "Springtime Whites" that I've been working on in the shop...and adorning my home.....
I have become addicted to making these beautiful chiffon roses ever since Linda at Robin's Egg Blues shared her technique with us! These are made with soft white chiffon and embellished with vintage pearl beads...



...they made their way into one of my nest assemblages...


...i have also been working on making my own speckled eggs. I like to use a lot of them in my assemblages, projects and vignettes. The Styrofoam and plastic ones are nice but i wanted more "weight" to mine so I hand rolled these out of clay...air dried them...painted them and then speckled them. I think i've acquired another addiction!!



...my sweet mantle angel modeling my 2 latest addictions!



Now don't forget to go on over to Kathleen at The Faded Charm (link on my sidebar) and get a look at all of the other gorgeous White Wednesday Posts!

Happy White Wednesday!

White Wednesday

Another White Wednesday and another day to share our love of all things "white." My take on white has always been a warm creamy white. Every trim in my home is painted Navajo White....and the same goes for ANY piece of furniture that i decide to paint instead of stain. I think it is so very soothing. So...today I am sharing some pictures of mirrors, mouldings and wrought iron scroll work that i have throughout my home. Don't forget to go on over to Faded Charm for some more inspirational pictures!

Junking Along The Coast of Maine

I had the most marvelous time coming home from my visit with Mum in Maine this past week....when i am in no particular hurry to get home, i like to take Rte. 1 all the way and follow the coast of Maine, NH and Massachusetts. There are literally dozens of thrift shops along the way...not to mention the spectacular views of the ocean! Here are a few treasures I secured for very little money! Don't you love "Junking??"
