Happy Mother's Day to All My Dear Friends!! I hope your Mother's Day was a lovely one with Love and Laughter and Family. My husband took me to lunch at the Olive Garden...Yummy!! We also took a walk through "Bulloch Hall" in Roswell after lunch and took some pictures in the lovely Garden area. Bulloch Hall was once home to Theodore Rosevelt's mother "Mittie". A very beautiful mansion dating back 172 years ago. Here is the Gorgeous Brooch that I am wearing from my swap partner Kathy. Our theme for May was to buy a vintage brooch for our swap partner and to wear it on Mother's Day and post a picture of it. Isn't it just stunning?? Love You All!! Blessings Susan Bulluch Hall Garden area.

 Hi Dear Friends... I have been quite busy lately...because I have been making things for a shop here in Georgia and one in Arizona!! WHOOO HOOO!! Who would have thought...???? I have my favorite shops and one of them is a great little fabric shop that I frequent from time to time.                                                                                    Romance in Paris Clutch This time I had asked her if she had any left over scrap material that she would sell to me...well to my delight she had a whole sack full of gorgeous pieces. I told her ...

Hello Dear Friends..... I have been working on some Mothers Day gifts today and wanted to share this Sweet Rose necklace I just finished. If you saw the 2010 December issue of "Jeanne D'arc" magazine there was a spread about beautiful necklaces made with laces and ribbons tied together and used instead of a metal chain. I thought this technique would be so soft and romantic used on my  "Sweet Rose" necklace...... Is this cute or what?? Love and Peace.... Susan

Hello Dear Friends, I recently took part in another great swap hosted my Linda from A Swap For All Seasons. Our theme this time was a "Mothers Day Vintage Swap Brooch". We were to pick out a vintage Brooch  for our partner which had to be older than 1970. We could then make something to display the Brooch. I was able to find this lovely Brooch dated around the 1940's. It was called a "Ruff" pin which was named ruff because it would be attached to the top of a cascade of ruffles or lace on a womens high collar of a dress. It says Austria on the back with beautiful Austrian crystals. I made a cute little pillow and added a blue crochet heart for the brooch to sit upon. My swap partner was Kathy and she gave me a gorgeous Brooch with beautiful lavender stones. There is a loop in which Kathy attached three lovely charms to it. Kathy also included three clothes pins wrapped with yummy ribbons! I had so much fun with this swap and had a wonderful swap pa...

Hi Dear Friends, I just wanted to tell you that my Mom took a fall last night in her bedroom. She is alright but pretty sore. No bones broken but at 91 yrs. old it is a shock to the system. The extra strength Tylenol and rest and TLC is helping quite a bit. She is walking better now this afternoon than this A.M. I believe in the power of prayer and I ask you All to say a prayer that she will heal and recover very soon. I had this picture in my stash from Dover so please download it if you would like to as it is copyright free! I wish you all the best with my Love, Susan xxoo
