The heart shaped box I painted in a creamy white...used some new fabric scrapbook lining for the inside and added some lace on the top with a touch of glitter under the lace. Accen...

Hi Sweetie's.... I'm still living and breathing.....I think!! I have not felt very well since I tweaked the booth last weekend. I have a rather delicate stomach and chills...ughh!! I wanted to post my Giveaway this week but I think I will post it next week if you don't mind. I promise you will love it!!!! :) We rearranged the booth last weekend, although it looks a bit bare....I have a new piece of furniture to add to it but need to do some de-stressing to it....poor thing is so stressed..lol!! :)  I made a Valentine banner last week so added it to the table here...it's too cute!!  I have been selling a lot of my Bookmarks and candles, so need to make more of them as well!! Since this picture was taken last Sunday someone bought the old vintage iron board so who knows where the linens were tossed!! Lol Well I am going to go back and lay down......Say a little prayer that I am up and around real soon....ok? Love and Blessings, Susan xx...

Hi Everyone!! I wanted to show all of you the beautiful Jane Austen ATC I received from my swap partner Sonya Nelson. Sonya and I were paired together when we entered the Blissfull ATC Swap that Wendy puts together every month. If you have not tried making little ATC's yet well click onto my Blissfull ATC button and sign up. You will be very happy that you did!! The next swap is in February and the theme will be "Alice in Wonderland"!!                                  I love the detail Sonya added to her lovely ATC!! Sonya added some other goodies as well.....lovely ribbons and lots of cupcakes!!!! Glad they were not real as I would have had to eat many of them!!! :) This is the ATC I made for Sonya.  I also made a little fabric bag to keep Jane comfy and cozy!! Wishing You All a Beautiful Day!!           ...

Hi Sweet Friends, I was tickled pink when I found out that this lovely decorative heart plate was sold the other day at the booth. This beautiful plate was made in Italy. The sweet Cherubs stand out amongst this gorgeous lacy background. I also love the textural quality of it as well. When I found this piece my heart skipped a beat as I instantly fell in love with it!! I hope the person that purchased it will enjoy it very much! I think it would look lovely on a plate stand on top of a mantle for Valentines Day... In today's market it is a bit tough to price things. Everyone wants a bargain, and why not!! For most of us our purse strings are tighter because of an unknown economy. The items I am selling right now are all affordable. As a buyer and seller I feel very comfortable knowing there are quality items to be had out there. If you take a little extra time to look and explore you can find some wonderful things for your home!! I Lov...

Dearest Friends, I am so very excited to share with All of you a very big step for me.  I am co-owner of a booth in an Antique Mall. My lovely friend JoAnn and I are partners in this adventure. JoAnn and I actually met here one day. My husband and I  love to go antiquing and looking for treasures. I am always looking for items to enhance things that I make. JoAnn and I had become friends and would visit each other and have craft sessions together.We would bounce off ideas to one another and the more we did the more we came to the conclusion that two heads in business was much better than one!! I made this to represent JoAnn and I in our new adventure together.... Some cute hair pins and Bookmarks... JoAnn loves to search for antique furniture and I love to make things..... I found some beautiful paper weights...and this is one of them!!  I made this cute Cake plate stand as well!  I added the ribb...

Happy 2012 Everyone!! I thought I would share some pictures with you today of a few items which I have purchased and have received. The little dress here is going to my newest grand daughter. Amy is three months old now. Babies grow so very quickly don't they? I am saving this little dress for her so when she is a bit bigger I will give this to her. I bought the dress at the Country Living Fair at Stone Mountain this past September. I just fell in love with it!! I think you will probably agree that it is adorable!! This is one of the tables in my craft room where I lay out my cloth, laces, buttons and make something magical! I have just completed an ATC for the Blissful ATC swap. Our theme for January is "Jane Austen"!!  There is something comforting about old crochet pieces that I love. Last year I came across a bag full of pieces of discarded tatting and fine crochet bits. Some were not finished...but the expertise of workmanship was obv...
