Magnolia Festival and New Products
Hi Everyone!

Hope your summer is getting off to a wonderful start.  I thought that I would share some pictures, that I took during the Magnolia Festival last week.  I had a wonderful show and met some wonderful new friends. 

 

This is a picture of another one of my chicken wire mannies.  She turned out really cute!  During the process of her creation, she has ended up with me naming her Ariel.  She started out being much taller and had legs (or her lower portion) that reminded me of a mermaid.  During the course of adding all of her shabby vintage charm she was becoming top heavy and I ended up having to cutting off the lower portion to make her more stable. 

I found the old window screens during one of my junking outings and  turned them into a display to hang some of my items on during the festival.  Really liked how things looked displayed on them.  I have been thinking about adding them to my decor somewhere in the house.  (Shhh.... don't tell my Mr. Prince Charming).  They were perfect to display some of my new metal letters.  If you look closely you can also see some of the smaller dimensional wings on the upper corner. 

 

My Angel wings made from the old vintage ceiling tiles have taken on a whole new dimension.  I love the way they turned out and were a huge success.  I like the smaller ones, but have fell in love with the larger ones.  I will be making more of these soon to go into my booth spaces and Etsy Shop.

 

I had been getting lots of request to make vintage inspired headbands and hair clips.  So I have recently began making and offering some of the above Shabby Flowers for sale.  A few of them are actual pins that look awesome pinned to a hat or any accessory that needs that special WOW. 

There are other plans in the works for some more vintage inspired products.  I want to thank everyone that takes the time to follow me and all of the wonderful support and encouragement I get. I hope to continue to grow. The confidence that you show in me when asking me to make your special custom order means so much to me.

Stay Charmed,
Shelley

Spring Is Here

Happy Spring!

Spring is here, or so I think, it has been playing a lot of hidding go seek over the last weeks.  We get a few warm days, then back to cold and then it warms back up.  This week we received much needed rain, but I am so ready for warm weather to come and stay!  Ready for trips to the lake, planting flowers and my flip flops.  

The birds are singing today and I noticed that the little bird that chooses to build her nest every year on the ceiling fan of my porch is back in her home.  I have no idea what kind of bird she is, but she keeps coming back home!  So in her honor, I have made a cute little bird nest in an old vintage coin purse to share with you. 

This bird also loves Vintage Charm, she has worked hard to build her home in the vintage coin purse, with her vintage scraps of lace,sprigs of flowers (for a special pink touch), and the rolled sheet music. 

Hope that everyone has a blessed and charming week ahead.

Stay Charmed!

New Look

Kicking Up The Charm

As many of you know, I have a space rented at Creative Country in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.  Creative Country is just a few doors down from The Pink Pistol, which is owned by Miranda Lambert.  Both places are great places to shop!  I don't have a large space rented and I am having so much fun without the pressure of trying to keep up with a larger space.   I have been wanting to kick up the Charm in my space and with the help of my wonderful, Mr. Prince Charming, I think we did a terrific job of it.  Oh! I also had the help of my granddaughter, Rachel helping me out.  

I had to go out of town last week for a conference and while out and about shopping, I found this awesome fabric at Hobby Lobby.  It was just screaming "Shell's Vintage Charm."  Don't you think?  So I bought all that was remaining on the bolt.  

Frankie, aka Mr. Prince Charming, designed and built me a pergola type structure, and with a little bit of a shabby paint job it all came together and fit just perfect.  The shelves on the wall received a light coat of white paint.

A closer look at the painted shelves and the not so pretty wall behind them.  

My little Rachel Bug is looking like she is starting to get a tad bit bored.  She was great help moving things around, painting and handing her Gramps boards.  

 What does every girl do when they get bored?  She decided to go shopping and bought her some rabbit ears.  She is proudly wearing her ears.

 A look at everything put together and back in place with the wall lined in the material.  I am loving the way it looks!  Well.... except for the fact that my inventory is a low at the moment.  But that is a good thing!  Not only are things selling and moving out, I get to stay busy creating more Vintage Charm.

After the three of us working so hard and the weather was so beautiful we decided to treat ourselves to a picnic and relaxation at the lake.  The rest of the day was spent enjoying the sunshine and feeding the ducks.

A productive and fun filled day.   Hope that you have a charming week!

Stay Charmed,

Shelley

Envelope Pocket

 

Dixie and Richard

 

Hi!  I thought I would share with you a very simple envelope made from a vintage napkin. The pocket envelope was inspired by a very dear friend, Gypsy Rose.  She somehow manages to keep me on track.  Thank you Gypsy Rose! 

 

Stay Charmed!

Country Life

Happy Monday!  Hope you had a wonderful day.  I had the day off and enjoyed every moment of it.  I spent the day working on items for my booth space.  Not really sure that I really accomplished much, but I have lots of things started in various stages of completion. 

The above picture was taken as a joke to send to my Mr. Prince Charming..... You might be a redneck if.... and to rub in the fact that I had the day off and he didn't. The picture turned out cute with Rachel's playhouse in the background and signs of spring.  I was tea staining some old napkins for a project and hung them out to dry on a sapling tree.  Stay tuned for the completed project with the napkins.

You can see some of my lastest completed projects on my Facebook page.

Stay Charmed,
Shelley

Every Love Story

Every Love Story

is beautiful

but ours is my

favorite

Hi Everybody,
Hope that you are having a wonderful and charming weekend.  Yesterday, I went to the Affair of the Heart with my Mr. Prince Charming.  He is such a good sport when I drag him around to these type of events.  Other than this, my weekend has been rather uneventful.  I glued the flowers and pearl strands on the window that I started last weekend.  Yes, just now getting back to it.
The window turned out really cute and shabby chic.  It would be perfect in any shabby chic home or wedding decor.  I can also see it being used as a photo prop.  Now that my daughter, Paisley has started a small photography business as a hobby in her spare time.  I am looking at things in a whole new light.  I enjoyed helping her set up some of her backdrops for some Valentine photos last week.  Drop by and check out her website at http://paisleysprintsphotography.weebly.com or look her up on Facebook.  Let her know her mom sent you by for a visit. 
Stay Charmed!

New Booth Space



 

Hi Everyone!

 

Hope your week is going good. It has been a crazy, busy and looooonnnnng week at work. A really nice hot bubble bath sounds like Heaven at the moment. (sigh)  

 

 

 

 

I thought I would share my new booth space with you today.  I have moved my inventory out of The Mix in Ada and have moved into Creative Country in Tishomingo.  I LOVE it there!  There really is something there for everyone.  Not only all the great items available to purchase, everyone is so friendly and nice.  

 

I have a small spot and things are going wonderful there, so I have been kicking around the idea of expanding my booth space and at the same time thinking of keeping it small and cozy.  Frankie and I went in on Saturday and he helped me measure.  My wonderful Mr. Prince Charming is thinking of building me some awesome display stuff.  So I need to make up my mind, so we can get started!!!

 

Been dreaming all day long of some new fun things I am wanting to make and add to my space.   So I am off to get Crack-a-lackin! 

 

 

Stay Charmed!
