The Best of 2010
Pearls and Lace Thursdays of the Past
As I've been blogging for the last year, I've realized a few things about myself. I find that I love pearls and lace (of course) more and more. I seek the laces and pearls wherever I go shopping.
But I have also found some new favorites. Hand Painted items have become a HUGE love for me! Even today I received a new object (to be shared later), and I'm on the hunt for more.
My mother's stichery, and dried roses are also some of my favorite subjects.
I have a camera now that I'm trying to get used to, and as the new year progresses, I hope to capture new subject material in much better light and with much more appeal.
I've also found out that I love old books, especially pastel colored children's books! I seem to use them all the time!
The hand painted bowl below has become my favorite piece ever. It sits in a place of honor in my home. I've only once seen a piece that compares, and now I own a piece to be proud of.
And along with the pearls and lace theme, I have begun making pillow recently. I have opened an Etsy shop, and hopefully I'll be adding more and more items to it during the year.
The pillow below is the Giveaway item chosen by the winner of my Giveaway!
Purple and black are the main colors, with pearl and rhineston button accents.
A vintage embroidered doily was used to make a pocket, and the roses were crocheted by me.
