Flea Market Decor

My flea market treasures

   make a lovely romantic space.

 Vintage floral containers are a pretty solution for storage.

 Pillows made from vintage bark cloth add softness and comfort to my space.

 A little chippy shabbiness in my space makes me happy.

 Tattered millinery flowers are always one of my favorite finds.

A scarf like the ones Grandma wore draped across an old lamp softens the light and adds to the comfort  factor.

 A basket filled with vintage hats is a nice pop of color in a corner of my space.

 Candles are a must here.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find something inspiring here and will come back sometime soon. It  always brightens my day to read your comments.

Making Christmas Bells

Last week while Mother was here visiting we gathered some supplies from the craft room and made a glittery mess in the kitchen.

 To make these Christmas Bells we started by painting a couple of seed starter pots.

The paper mache type.

After the paint was dry we added some glitter.

 We wired jewelry parts for hanging inside the bells, hung them from a pretty bow and embellished them with ribbon and vintage millinery flowers.

 I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out, but the glitter was everywhere.

We laughed and talked and Mother loved the glittery mess. It brought back memories of her childhood Christmas crafting.

Maybe we'll do paper chains and ornaments for our next crafty project together.

No glitter involved.
