Been a long time since I have posted on my Blog.
Here is a winter scene taken from my back deck.
As you browse, you will find that I fill my blog with flea market finds and other treasures to create that Romantic, Vintage
Cottage, French Paris feel for your home ~ I love roses, chippy, whites, pinks, vintage linens and lace, so you may find just what you're looking for ~ My items are handcrafted or repurposed into the perfect cottage decor, just for you ~
At times I feature other Artists Creations ~ with links to
their store. So please pause a little while and enjoy their talents.
Oh . . . and I just have to share some of my favorite flowers
with you, as well.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF MY FOLLOWERS !
To leave the old with a burst of song
To recall the right and forgive the wrong;
To forget the thing that binds you fast
To the vain regrets of the year that's past;
To have the strength to let go your hold
Of the not worthwhile of the days grown old,
To dare to go forth with a purpose true,
To the unknown task of the year that's new;
To help your brother along the road
To do his work and lift his load;
To add your gift to the world's good cheer,
Is to have and to give a Happy New Year.

Pour Vous
I mixed blue & green dye along with a little water, drops of blue and green dye, also added a little vinegar for the color to set. I then soaked a strip of natural muslin (torn in a 2 yard strip) in the solution for a few minutes. I usually hang my strips outside to dry. Then hand stamped with a rubber stamp "Pour Vous" which is French translated to english "For You"
This trim is available for purchase
in my ETSY store.
Winter in the Methow Valley
We haven't much snow this time of year. Not like it was in years past. I am used to several feet of snow so it will insulate this cold country. I do hope you enjoy some of my photos of my place and surrounding area.
After a heavy frost !

This fabulous Vintage Doll is my latest find! I am so excited to come across her. She definately needs a new hair do . . . but I don't plan to change anything about her. I don't know a great deal about dolls but I do know that she is quite old. She is stuffed with straw and wool or cotton fiber. I will be getting her apraised and ready to go to her new home in my Etsy store in the next few days.
Her head is bisque or composition and her eyes are glass.
Notice the sweet little dimple in her chin.
A bisque or porcelain is a doll made partially or wholly out of bisque
porcelain. Bisque dolls are characterized by their realistic, skin-like matte finish. They were very popular between 1860 and 1900 with French and German dolls. Bisque dolls are collectible, and antique dolls can be worth thousands of US dollars. Antique German and French bisque dolls from the 19th century were often made as children's playthings, but contemporary bisque dolls are predominantly made directly for the collectors market.
