This trio of Dollar Store prayer candles has been sitting on the shelf in my craft room since December. I finally got around to giving them a French makeover today: Two of these great images are from The Graphics Fairy. The third is one I purchased off of Etsy. Once I cut out each image, I distressed the edges of each one ever so slightly. Then I used Mod Podge to glue them on and...
I never ever pass up the bargain aisle at our local Michael's. It's filled with treats usually starting at $1 up to no more than say $5. I scooped up a bunch of these pretty shabby frames with my store credit and gave each a French touch: I love the shabby, chippy feel of it. I added the faux pearls and flower embellishment.

**There is still time to enter my giveaway here.** If you saw the February issue of Romantic Homes, then you saw these little cuties from Ikea. So cute and I love the colors! I'm the world's worst cake baker so I appreciate the non-stick, squishy plastic they are made of.

The...
There is just something about winter that puts me in a sewing mood. I broke out my sewing machine this week and made a few new pillows and pin cushions. I really love this great French-y image from The Graphics Fairy. I printed the image onto my fabric and then just sewed and stuffed. I printed it out in a 5x7 size so I was able to get two images onto the fabric. Kind of like...
