I've been a busy little girl this week!

Pink Friday~ February 6
Be my Valentine
Won't you please join us at Make Mine Pink for a Valentine treat? I'm very excited to show off my newest creations, all available at
Rose Petals & Blooms!

I'm in love with vintage candy boxes! I discovered this sweet box, that long ago, was filled with chocolate confections... I added vintage cabbage Rose Barkcloth, 2 millinery floral sprays dating from 1940. Also, a creamy white rose, the edges of the box are decorated with vintage venice lace... I think it's definitely a treat for the eyes! lol...

Sweet Clare

I was inspired to create this adorable vanity lamp from the old cottage dressers of the past....
As I hand crafted her from clay and wood, she began to take on her own sweet personality, and I named her Clare...
She is adorned with vintage drawer pulls, and turned legs. The framed cabbage roses, french perfume bottle and sweet dresser tray are created from clay! I love the top drawer, leaving it opened a bit with a piece of vintage lace gives this little gem oodles of character~
The shade was discovered in a little antique shop, just in her wire form.. I covered the shade in the softest pale pink chiffon with white chiffon inside. She is topped with fabric roses from the same chiffon and sweet ruffles dance along her edge..

I'm finishing another vintage candy box today, and will also be adding gorgeous 3D german Valentine cards dating from 1900 in other creations throughout the weekend~
