Having Fun in my Sewing Room/Art Studio and bragging on my win!

Hi Bloggerettes!!  It's really just a sewing room but doesn't "Art Studio," sound so much more sophisticated!



One straw bag at thrift store...................... $2.00

Oodles of rosettes and laces....................... lots of time

Comments that I get from you.....................priceless!

                                            

I won these wonderful orbs a few months ago
in a giveaway by Low Tide High Syle
You know how we love our digits and numbers
and I think these look pretty great!

She is a very talented blogger with lots of style.
She loves interior design and entertaining and her blog reflects
her passions.  If you haven't been to visit, be sure and stop over an introduce yourself. Her photographs are beautiful, she is beautiful. Just like me you are going to love everything about her and her blog.

You girls are too funny! I was just reading your account of the chocolate on your hind ends and laughing.

What? No chocolate in the new straw bag? ;-)

Hugs and thanks for the giggles!
