She is set on a hinge on her hip to bend over to place the hat in the hat box!! My friend Sharon gave us each one at our "Southern Belle Retreat" this past April.
I wanted her to appear she was in her bedroom. I think the pink paper in the background makes great wallpaper and the blue paper on the bottom resembles the floor. I had this very tiny, tiny vintage angel picture for a long time and thought it would make a great little picture on the wall, I just used a thin gold cord so it looks like the picture is hanging on the wall and a small flatback pearl to represent the nail. I am not done with it yet but thought I would share with you all what I have done so far!

God's Blessings to All!!

    She is awfully cute! I had to click twice so I could see all the details, the laces and bows and the picture on the wall. She reminds me of the Campbells soup kid.

I love the dark green base for the collage. The little girl is from Paper Whimsy. Since I wanted to make something to herald in springtime...I decided to use some vintage ephemera that I have collected over the years. I used a vintage book page from some nature pages my friend Tina had sent to me from Denmark. The feather I have the little girl holding is from a friend in British Columbia, from one of her birds, who donates his feathers!! LOL......I also used a wee little nest I was gifted in a swap a couple of years ago. The little metal hanger I though was a cute way to hang the collage...On the little label it says "Magical"! Springtime to me is a magical time of year, as nature once again brings forth beautiful flowers, and lush landscapes so pleasing to our soul. A
