Finding and Making Stuff!

Hi Bloggerettes!  I've got a few more finds to show you.  Wanna see?
I thought so.
Check out this lovely tray display in the booth.  Added a pretty vintage mirror and a tiara, for a princess....
This pedestal table got a coat of paint and a little shabbing up!


I did find time this weekend to make a pillow.  A burlap pillow with some vintage crocheted lace....ooh la la!
What can be better than Paris, burlap and lace?
I found this Eiffel tower framed print and grabbed it right up!

This is Ellie.  She is a paper mache rabbit that I bought years and years ago.  She started out as a "he,"named Elmer. He used to wear  a golf outfit.  Now Elmer is a girl named Ellie  because all we had to put on her was a pink outfit!  Elmer says he's okay with it.



Okay, get out there and create, make, sew, paint, write or repurpose something wonderful and share it with us.


~~hugs~~
Sissie

Love the burlap pillow with the vintage lace. So girly. I adore the rabbit. I think Elmer looks good as an Ellie.
Daffodils are blooming so I know it's spring here in Missouri.....at least for the time being.
Happy Spring,
Linda

You're one amazing woman, Sissie. I don't think women half your age could keep up with you without really struggling.
