Whites, Whites, Whites!!!



I first want to take this opportunity to say that I was so grateful to get

the messages from all of you on my little creations I shared in my last post.

I really appreciate the encouragement that comes from you all who read

 this blog!

You are so loving and thoughtful...

and you rock!!!

This past week has been full of 'have to dos'

I didn't get much time for the 'want to dos'

I did manage to paint some frames and mirrors that I had picked up while thrifting.

The one below has been on the wall for two years. (it was a dingy gold) not a pretty gold))  not like the awesome creamy one I have in the living room))) and every time

I would walk by it, I would imagine it white.

So now it's white!

This is a little corner of the bedroom.

 I didn't make the beautiful coffee filter

pom poms.

 I bought them last year while in Salt Lake City when  I went to see

my daughter.

I've been going to make some...

BUT...

(they are at the bottom of the 'want to make' list now)

and a cute little cream velvet hat.

In the living room, a plain white chenille pillow bought at a yard sale

gets  a posy.

I have a friend who has a store in a neighboring town called Chic Antiques and she sells

these beautiful taffeta roses.

Just the touch it needed!

I gave this old silk lampshade a face lift with some vintage millinery and lace. 

I'm joining Kathleen from Faded Charm for this week's White Wednesday.

Some of you mentioned that I should consider selling some of the things I make.

My daughters and I used to do the Artist Market in Hailey, Idaho and I sold many of the

things I made then.

 I haven't done it for a few years, but plan to a couple this Summer.

I'm trying to get as many things done now, before the gardening gets crazy.

It would be fun to take part in it again.

We'll see if I get enough done to take part.

I'll let you know how it goes.
