Take time to do what makes your soul Happy..

In celebrating Memorial Day. We had a very sweet service at church.  A small token was presented to all the eons that served in the military of some sort.  It was a rolled up poem with a key attached as a reminder.

The poem reads…

I took the key and added it to my little studio.

As I had the pleasure of spending some LONG OVER DUE TIME creating in my little studio.. Even though my house was in a MESS. I still needed to take a break and relax.. 

My brother is an antique dealer.  He mostly deals with vintage bottles of all sorts.  But sometimes he buys in bulk.  As his stash gets large he will have this AWESOME yard sale.. When I say awesome I mean REALLY cheap deals.  I found this old tin lunch box. 

Before
I started to leave it like it was.. But I have another idea.  

After... Pure Loveliness..

 I painted it and added some stamping and shabby loveliness and then filled it to the brim with vintage lace and notions, the cards that the lace and notions are on are homemade.  Thought I turned out rather Shabby Beautiful… I am so proud of it.

 Then I looked on my list and decided to create a purse from an old pair of jean legs I cut off. And an old shirt from a yard sale that I paid $.10 for .  It had some really pretty lace and delightful loveliness on it.  So I cut the sleeves to make a pocket on the outside and cut the middle part of the shirt for the inside and the lace at the bottom was on the bottom side of the shirt.  

The flower on the other side was  stripes of the shirt.  And the straps were made out of the tie thingy of the shirt.  My granddaughter scooped it up and filled it to the brim with all her girly things.  It minds me of a gypsy style.

  

I’ve been wanting to add some angel wings to my little creative space.  I’ve looked on Pintrest and browsed blogs and finally decided to create my own with some inspiration from other post I saw.  I think it turned out okay.  But the next time I will do some things a little different.

 But all and all I had a very relaxing day.  I really enjoyed myself.  My granddaughter came and I wanted to spend some time with her. I am participating in

Free Stuff to add to my little Shabby Studio

O how I love free stuff.. I usually take anything that is free. Espically if it is something i can upcycle, or create with.  My sister n Law gave me this table. Of course it was black, I had to add a little shabbiness to it.  Then load it with yummies of sparkle.  (I'm still sure about the curtain, which is really a vintage sheet.  I just found a shabby chic pink curtain set from Goodwill I think I'm gonna put up, but I'm still debating)

Shabby delicous table

the vintage dishes is filled with colored sparkle

i tried to tie the color ribbon around the spoons to show the color of sparkle.
and the vintage drawer filled with note paper

 I love sparkles.. But what girl doesn't.. I like to use my dishes in my decorating so I can show them off.

i adore calendars

I try to use them for ANY reason whatsoever.  They were having a yard sale at work last week.. I got all these shutters for free.. Eventually I'm hopping to hang different things from them.. But for now I just added the vintage hankie banners I created.

 I love to sit on my bed an read God's word , kneel beside this little bed and talk to God and just sit here and daydream..

my favorite place to be.

 Where you will see most mornings and some nights.  

my favorite book

 As I get new things whether it's free or not, I love to add them to my little space.. It's my little piece of Heaven here on earth.. I can sit here and look around all day, and just SMILE.  This weekend I'm hoping to go junk'n... I hope I'll some things to share when I return.

Come join us at the parties I have listed below.  We would love to see what you have been up too.

Meia's Tea Party

I've been wanting to do a photo session with my granddaughter, using some of shabby loveliness... Alot of the shabby yummies are from grandmothers . And some I have gathered from vintage shops.  Meia had so much fun. And of course I did also..

Bunny in background is her security, he goes EVERYWHERE..

The doll she is sharing her tea with is a doll my grandmother gave me when I was eight years old.

YUMMY!! the cookies were so yummy...

Tea is so good...

But when she is done... she is DONE!!!

We had such a good time. I wished I would of used my good lense.  But I was worried that photos would come out blurry as she moves around alot... I might reshoot this...
I am participating in Show & tell Friday and Shabbilicious-Friday-link-party- Hope to see you there...

Hope you enjoyed our little Tea Party.

xoxoxo,
