Roses and warm thoughts
Uncategorized
Happy Valentine's Day! I believe in celebrating all week, filling my house with fresh flowers and softly scented candles. I thought this holiday would be a good day to start my blog, it is a day of warm feelings and beautiful things. Surrounding myself with vintage or hand created items that are pretty is important to me. But even more important is finding them at bargain prices or making them myself. I saw an ad in the Sunday paper for roses at $1 each, and bought an armful of sunny yellow ones with deep pink tips, and filled an assortment of flea market vases and rose patterned tea cups then set them around the house. So much more personal and pretty (and affordable) than my husband ordering a generic arrangement of red roses from a florist.
On one old bottle, I tied a doily heart with a vintage rose cut from an old postcard glued onto it. I used this as part of the centerpiece for a brunch 
on Monday for my friends.
This pensive little fairy is a mixed media painting I did. I hope to make some more cards and get them listed on Ebay, along with my jewelry and what other little pretties come to mind.
