BONJOUR MES AMIS

Continuing with the paper theme, these are some gorgeous half wreaths that I made from vintage hymn books.
They look so pretty hung above a frame/door.




Please note: inspiration for this design came from an Etsy store called Simple Joys Paperie......you must check out her gorgeous shop when you have a chance!

LOVE BEYOND WORDS TRAY

This is an adorable little silver tray that I found at a thrift store......just added some words and a pretty vintage brooch.


Do you ever wish there were more hours in the day to accomplish all you want to get done?! 
 I SURE DO!!!
Have a happy day!

L-O-V-E

Continuing with the paper theme!!!!!!
I know, I know....... ENOUGH ALREADY!!..... BUT.....there is MORE to come!!

These cute word swags are made from the pages of a vintage Alice in Wonderland book.
I added glitter to the edges of the pages using a two sided clear tape.  
The letters were cut from cardstock and then glittered.


I made a little tag by scanning the title page of the book, reducing, and then printing it.

Happy day!

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
(Through the Looking Glass, Chapter 5)

PAPER WREATHS WITH A NEW TWIST

 I am, unfortunately, continuing to have issues with this new camera.  Just can't seem to get the pictures in to focus!!  Will keep working on it and maybe try some with some glasses on....maybe that is the problem??!!

Here is some more Laurel from Chipping with Charm inspiration for you!
I love how Laurel came up with the idea to add a flower to the center of her paper wreaths....so wanted to give it a try myself.

 I made quite a few paper wreaths for the Christmas season and wanted to continue on the paper theme for spring so these are the perfect addition to my paper line which I think is getting a bit out of control--more on that later!!



Soon to be available to buy at The Passionate Home in downtown Langley, as well as at The Festive Nest Spring Sale in South Surrey.

Happy day!
