Hello Dear Bloggy Friends!!                                  Happy Monday to All!! Today I would like to share with you first a very lovely ATC made by my swap buddy Peggy. Peggy and I were randomly picked as swap buddies over at The Blissful ATC Swap Blog. Peggy handpainted this lovely ATC and then whipstitched around the laminated edge. this is only her third ATC and I think she is so very creative and look forward to see what she will make in the future! Peggy also included some lovely lace, and a beautiful beaded and sequined disk...this is really unique and beautiful. The next item she hand painted Roses onto some River Birch Bark. The River Birch stands in Peggy's front yard and she uses the bark in her art work....isn't that the coolest thing?? Peggy even gave me a few strips for my own creative en...

 Hello Everybody! Hope your  enjoying Your Wednesday!! Over this past weekend my husband and I visited one of my favorite Antique Markets. I had been there with some of my blogging buddies a couple of weekends ago but had to go back because there is always something new and exciting there. My husband likes to look around as well....that is a real plus ladies when your hubby can stay in one store for as long as you do!! I know I am very lucky!!! So here are some sweet little things I picked up...I think the cute little bird wrapped in sheet music is adorable...don't you?? The beautiful Post Card was edged in German glitter. It can be hung on the Christmas tree or really anywhere. The little Christmas house I found there when me and my blogging buddies were there. Hope you enjoyed the pre-Christmas goodies!!! Love and A Million Hugs!! Susan XXOO

Happy Friday Dear Friends, I want to share something I purchased from my friend Vicki from.... http://vicki-2bagsfull.blogspot.com/ I few weeks ago Vicki finished a project she was working on featuring her beautifull Shore Bird Nests that she lovingly made. Vicki lovingly by hand made each one, which took her a few months to make. Two of the nests were very special because she was donating the proceeds to the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary in Florida, this is the largest Shorebird Hospital in the USA and receives 8000 admissions a year for treatment and rehabilitation. I was one of the lucky ones who was able to purchase one of the two shorebird nests whose proceeds go to a much needed cause. I have taken a few pictures of which they don't do justice to the breathtakingly loving work the Vicki has done. Please go visit Vicki's site and stroll through this very lovely lady's blog. You will be glad you did...she is one of the most loving and c...
