I used to love playing with paper dolls when I was little. I used to make my own by cutting the models out of my Mom's Spiegel catalog (remember Spiegel?????). This one I found on Pinterest and couldn't resist! I printed the template out onto cardstock and cut each part out. Then I used some brads so her arms and legs would be moveable. I hand-stamped the Paris on, and added a little bling. She's really sweet...
I'm doing my little Friday happy dance. The weather is gorgeous, the birds are singing and it's the end of what seemed like a long, long week! We have a busy weekend planned so wanted to share some random pieces that I've been working on. This candlestick I found at Goodwill earlier this week. I gave it a few coats of ASCP in Old White. It's kind of hard to tell but there is a...
Remember the little hand mirror I picked up at Goodwill that was missing the mirror? Well, here it is now. I wanted to use a Victorian image for it and found this perfect one from The Graphics Fairy. I printed it out onto cardstock and then carefully measured it so it would fit into the mirror. I used some silver glitter around the inside edges and added some rhinestones and faux pearls to each lady...

I gave it a "white-wash" instead - basically spreading on some paint and then wiping it off to get just a hint of color. I left some of the natural wood showing too. I notice a couple of little paint oopsies but those...
Super excited by this morning's Goodwill finds. The last few times I've gone, I've come out empty-handed. Not today! Excuse the photos. It's a dark, dreary, COLD day here yet again. Anywho, how cute is the little lantern? It was half price so it was 85 cents. The beeswax candle is getting tossed; I just wanted the little crate. The metal urn will be first up in the makeover department. I love this little flower...
You've probably seen these all over Pinterest. I, myself, have pinned them a few times. I love the look and since I always have a nice stash of Ball mason jars lying around, I figured I would make some too! I only have three ASCP colors: Old White, Louis Blue and Antoinette. Lucky for me they look gorgeous together! I only gave them a coat each of the chalk paint because I find it to...
