Pearls and Lace Book in a Beaded Bag Idea

The Good Ol' Days!

When women dressed up, did their hair and makeup, and carried beautifully beaded bags for a lipstick and compact.

Nowadays those gorgeous bags are eye candy!

Here is my collection (so far), and a new twist on a possible wedding gift idea.

You can see the You Tube video here.

This was a truly fun project and I hope you can use this idea for a gift to make in the future!  

Thank you so much for visiting!

Lace Book From a Dear Sister-Friend

I have a few dear friends who have become close enough to refer to as 'sister'.

As time goes by, emails shoot back and forth, prayers and thoughts are shared, we have become closer to each other, and as a special birthday gift one year, I made a Lace Journal Book for one special sister.

And she made one for ME!!
Now three years later, I am posting the photos as well as the You Tube video I made.  You can find it here.

This book was made for me by my dear friend Wilma, from the Netherlands!
You can find her blog here.  Be sure and have a look...she has so many beautiful projects she has shared!

Thank you Wilma!  I cherish our friendship!

Lace Book "Cabinet Card Cuties"

Just the way it sounds, this little oval book is full of cabinet card cuties I found

on Pinterest.  They are so adorable, who could resist?

Made on a foundation or base of felt put together with hot glue, it was a quick and easy way to make a cute book that is full of lots of laces and trims.

If you would like to view the video on you tube you can find it here.

I love how it turned out!  I think it's one of my favorites!

Thank you so much for visiting!

Blessings,
