Wonderful White Wednesday

It's A Wonderful White Wednesday! 

Today I am  sharing some of my latest white projects with you today. 

 

I love making Memory Pillows.  Pillow is  made with two ruffles on outer edges only.  Edges are frayed.  The doily that was picked up at a flea market and I added buttons for details.  The upper corner is decorated with scraps of fabric tied into a bow, bits of lace with lace rolled rose and bling center. Inside the pocket, I have tucked my favorite vintage picture of my Great Grandmother Bessie. and a graphic image from The Graphic Fairy.  I didn't know my Dad's grandmother, but I often what she would think about becoming part of my branding logo and in so many of my projects.  What special items would you put in your Memory Pillow? 

 

 

Large White Angel Wings have been cut from vintage ceiling tile.  The wings are so pretty hanging on a wall or sitting on a shelf.  Lots of versatile ways to display to add the perfect compliment to your shabby chic décor.

 

 

The frame was repurposed from a broken clock picture.  I replaced the broken glass and picture with chicken wire.  This makes the perfect memo holder with the clothespins that have been painted pink with some fluff and buttons.  Chicken wire also makes great bow holders for your little ones or use as a jewelry holder for yourself.  Possibilities are endless!

 

Flowers is the upper corner is a Vintage Shabby Chic Inspired Headband.  Includes 3 roses made from lace with a bling center on a torn and tattered doily with pink crinkle ribbon and string loops of pink seed beads. 

 

Dimensional wings are also made from vintage ceiling tile.

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

Shabby Chic Chicken Wire Dress Form

Dressed in her Shabby Chic Best

Remember those Chicken Wire Dress Forms that Frankie helped make me?  Well Miss Shabby, here, has been dressed up for any ShABbY CHiC occassion.  She has been paper mached, painted, mixed media collaged and is ready to go!  I have had this plan ever since we made the dress forms and just now getting around to making one. 

As usual plans and ideas changed and ......  then in the end she just turned out the way she wanted!  She was determined to have a mind all of her own when it came to her wardrobe.  The back is just as pretty, she had to have a bustle!

More close up views

Hope you have enjoyed meeting Miss Shabby. 

Miss Shabby and I will be linking up for Happy Pink Saturday, at How Sweet The Sound, be sure to go by and visit. They love pink almost as much as I do!  We will also be stopping by to party at Shabbilicious Friday Link Party, so come join us.

 

Stay Charmed!

Chicken Wire and Husbands



I have the best husband! Just had to do some bragging on him, bless his heart he has to put up with me and all of my "ideas." I am always talking him into helping me do something or should say maybe scheming up things that I think he should do to help me out.

Long story short, I am trying to get ready for a craft show on Saturday, and I decided that I needed the chicken wire dress form to use as a display. So I put him to work on making the dress form tutorial that I found here from Sassytrash. I really figured he would be so much better than me cutting and twisting the wire.

I ended up getting three dress forms out of this adventure.  The first one was too small, the second one was bigger, but he decided to try again and I got a much taller one. So now not only do I have one for my displays but have one to put in my craft room to hang loose ribbons and "stuff." I am thinking of putting the medium size one in my bathroom for decorations.  Will have to post more pictures after I have them all decorated.
