Color Inspiration---- Playing around with Platinum, Silver, and Copper...

Not only do I love color, soft lovely colors, but more than anything it's all about texture! Don't you love the texture of vintage keys, oh, and that copper ring from Anthropologie with it's crevices and sparkle!

Find these oh so luscious supplies, clothing and jewelry for your DIY wedding at:

Anthropologie

Papier Valise

Ice Cream-----LOVE

What did you say? Whatever it was, it will have to wait-- we are eating ice cream!

Chocolate Chip Mint is the best! yes, it is!

 

Wow! This must be the best ice cream on Earth!

I love it when you get shots like this one. My boys are so cute!

Vintage collars become wedding signs...and they are so sweet!

Wee brown mushrooms, velvet flowers, moss, and a touch of embroidery (for a bit of romance) make up these fun wedding signs.

This little threesome is hanging in my studio at the moment, but their dream is to be invited to lovely vintage wedding. There are only two more of these collars left, and I think it would be cute to put bird nests in them. What else would be fun to add with the birds' nests?

An organized studio is a must! I am totally lusting after the

 VinTage ApoThecarY PoSt OfFice CupbOard

 the

Vintage Spool Cabinet

and

Early 1900s Hardware Store Wooden Cabinet

Sometimes you can get lucky and find a cool vintage cabinet.

I came across one a few months ago and purchased it for only $7!

It needs a bit of paint, and then I will show it to you.

My little drawer :) full of vintage fun!

These Vintage Wood and Metal Drawers are great for storing and they look fab too!

My sweet jello tins, aren't they great for holding supplies?

They fit perfectly in my cabinet drawers.



You can pick up some jello tins right on Etsy--

P.S. I caught my 3 yr old daughter in bed with a strip of fabric and she was rolling it up into a swirl - flower shape, then taking it out and doing it over and over again. She was also singing to herself at the same time. LOL!
