Pastel Vases

Found this sweet pink ice bucket at the thrift store yesterday.
 It's chipped, but I still love it.
 I mean how often do you see a big pink ice bucket?
 Perfect for the last of my pink hydrangeas.
 No point leaving them outdoors to freeze.
 So pretty.
 This vase looks good even without flowers.
 One of my favorite colors.
Thanks for looking.
Take care.

One Thing Leads To Another

I found this amazing hot pink, corduroy, wing back chair over the weekend.
Love the huge wings, the color and the fabric.
It adds a pop of color and some unexpected interest to my otherwise drab living room.
 The chair needed a space of its own, so the antique dress form had to go.
 She got a quick update from her top hat and rosary beads to a pretty vintage prom gown and was relocated to the loft.
 I came across these little vintage cards in a box of stuff that I was saving for some craft projects.
 
 These colorful clips were the perfect thing 
 for attaching the cards to my chippy old mirror.

I like the idea of using them as tiny art prints and the mirror makes a sweet bulletin board.

Crocheted Steampunk

I wasn't quite sure what to call this style, so I've decided on crocheted steampunk.

This necklace is titled
Do Not Disturb.





It has a ceramic face, some felted beads, an antique key, an antique leather button and 3 beautiful glass vintage buttons. It all comes together with a fine cotton crochet thread.
One of a kind.
Artwear.

Thanks for having a look.
