HAPPY THURSDAY

Cassandra from An Artful Adventure hosted a adorable Easter Egg Carton swap several weeks ago. Each of us had two partners. We had to paint and decorate an Egg Carton, fill it up with awesome treasures, wrap it really pretty and send it off to our Easter Partners. We choose our favorite themes, favorite colors and things we love to collect and craft with. I had a blast.

Let me share with you what I sent to Robin Martin and what great treasures she sent to me. This was so much fun because Robin loves Retro and bright colors which took me right out of my comfort zone immediately, but I had a blast creating for her.

Look at the wonderful Easter Egg Carton I received from Robin. Lots and lots of fun treasures from pastel ribbons, to a pink rhinestone bling. A beautifully hand made gift card and a wonderful vintage Easter Ephemera Post Card (which I LOVE). My favorite item in my secret package was that yellow and rhinestone RING. Yup, it's a ring, it fits me perfect and I can't wait to wear it.

A lovely glittery rhinestone brooch adorned the top of the box and there was a stunning pink crochet and pearls Easter egg inside. I know exactly where I will be tucking my lovely treasures.

Thank you Robin for all your goodies.

Happy Easter to you and enjoy your Retro Treasures.

Well my little peeps, I'll be posting my other swap partner's goodies and the fabu lot of treasures I received from her tomorrow just in time for Easter and Pink Saturday.

Til then, have a great day ladies.

Way to go, Octavia Spencer! Congratulations for winning an Oscar!

It's Monday already... Wow the weeks are flying by. I stayed up way to late last night watching the Oscar's. I really love Billy Crystal and thought he was great, as always. A little disappointed that Viola Davis didn't win Best Actress, but hey how can you complain when Meryl Streep took it? She is the ultimate actress of all time. I had also hoped that "The Help" would have received more awards and that the Academy had spread the love around a bit. It's so much better when all the movies receive at least one award, but it looks at though "The Artist" swept them away. It must have been quite a movie. I'll have to catch it when it comes on cable! lol

I'm sharing a new creation with you today. I hope you like her. A stunningly lovely and quite large Altered Art Apothecary Bottle. She can be a pretty Southern Belle, Marie Antoinette, Madame dePompadour, or Cinderella. Whatever floats your boat.

You can find her HERE.

HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE

I've had to make some tough decisions these past few months and one of them is letting go of many of the pretties I have purchased over the years. I decided to start with just a few items so it wouldn't be so difficult.

The first place I decided to tend to was my overflowing jewelry box. I adore jewelry. It's almost an obsession. I especially love vintage pins and charm bracelets, charm necklaces and funky earrings. But a girl has got to do, what a girl has got to do.

Since I don't get dressed up and go out so much anymore, I decided that I wanted to let another lady who loves jewelry enjoy the benefits of jewelry destash. These two bracelets were both hand made by talented friends of mine. I hope someone out there scoops up one or both of these bargains. I have listed them at about half the price I paid for them. Enjoy one for yourself or give one to a friend at Christmas!
Have fun shopping.
