Happy Birthday Jake

My little sweetie turned 4 yesterday.......... Here he is in his birthday finest having his favorite treat!

Vintage Quilts and French Linen

Here is a darling clutch that I found and purchased from Hens Teeth Art. This is all hand made of vintage french linen and 1930-40's american feedsack patchwork quilt. Viv has also done some hand embroidery and put some vintage french MOP buttons on it. For more beautiful vintage art, you can find Viv at her blog, and then from there you can visit her Etsy store. http://hensteethart.blogspot.com/ (make sure you click on the photos to enlarge so you can see all the details!)

My Space...........

I found these cute rice paper lighted garlands in town and thought that they would look nice draped on my vintage medicine cabinet. This space has become home to some of my new treasures. The embroidered brooches and the artwork is done by Cathy Cullis, a mixed media artist and poet. You can find her at http://cathycullis.blogspot.com/ , from there you can find out about her projects and find her Etsy store. If you click on the first picture for more detail, you can see my beloved tree pendant and my new necklace called Sweet Mountain Tranquility, made by Kristi Marcille Smith, a wonderful silver artist. This necklace just reminded me of the wonderful times I had in the Olympic mountains with Greg. You can find Kristi at http://silversparrowdesigns.blogspot.com/ and again from there you can find her etsy store, and you can even listen to some great music while browsing her blog............. love my cozy house!
