February Lovelies

No matter the weather, I can usually be found busy doing 2 things in my home.  Well, OK, 3.
Pinterest, Etsy, and Crafting.
Not always, but often!!

This month has been fun.  I found a new friend on Etsy and her shop is fantastic!!
Here are some lovelies I bought from her:







Don't you know I was having a blast opening up the package???


The most wonderful buttons and rhinestone creations!!!
Laces, trims, vintage postcards, crocheted flowers, lace medallions, oh my.
I feel like I should be singing "A Few Of My Favorite Things" like Julie
Andrews.  Oh if only I could sing!!



Thank you so much Stephanie for making my day!!!
If you'd like to visit her Etsy store, you can find it here!
But she may be sold out if I beat you there!



I hope you all are staying warm!!!  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Blessings,
Doni

Sewing Notion Collection Goodies

As the end of summer and the beginning of fall approaches, I am so excited!  COOLER WEATHER!
It makes me actually want to move around again.  The coolness permeates the house through the open windows in the mornings.  It is invigorating, and I think, 'What will I do today?'

Now don't get me wrong.  I'm not so full of spunk that I am going to clean all the rooms in the house today, or get that huge project finished, or anything funny as that.  But I do see some progress in my work, which to me, is quite exciting!

Sewing is one of my favorite pastimes. Collecting sewing notions is something that I just cannot stop doing!  I decided to pull together some pretties and show them off this week.









Below, packages of Silhouette trim were a recent find that are going in the 'keep' collection!








I hope you are all having a lovely week!  And that cool breezes and refreshing days are part of your future!  Take care and thank you so much for visiting me!
Blessings,
Doni

The Vintage Rose Fabric Covered Drawers For Pearls and Lace Thursday 144

Sometimes it just happens.  The PERFECT item pops up in front of my eyes from Etsy and I hit the button to place it in my shopping cart before I even read the item description.  And then my heart starts to pound a bit faster and I wonder if I dare.  You know that feeling.  Just go ahead and press the button to purchase without looking back!!
But I always look back.  Just in case I missed something about the item that would be a deal breaker.
And after looking at the description, and the other pictures, it just makes it so much better to KNOW that I'm getting an item that is wonderful!!
Thank you so much Sofia!!!


If you have seen my craft room or any of my posts for that matter, you know how much I love and adore faded and tattered fabric covered boxes.  So this little beauty is a perfect addition.



Oh look how much it has been loved over the years!!


 And let me tell you something about the Etsy shop owner, Sofia...
She also makes these GORGEOUS paper flowers, and when I opened my box from her
 it was filled with pink paper tissue flowers!!  How sweet is that??
But this one special flower with the printed pink paper was
 tucked sweetly in the bottom drawer of my new purchase:



Next month is a special month for me.  I have a milestone birthday approaching and I have a huge area in my craft room set up with LOTS of pink and cream lovelies...not ALL of my collection of laces and pearls and pinks and creams, but a good bit of it!  I am in the process of taking LOTS of photos to share with you and I would like to give you just a taste of what is in store:


A recent find, and it's gorgeous!  In fact, just dripping with lace loveliness, don't you think?
If you have a chance to look at Etsy and you'd like to find my new friend Sofia and her lovely shop, you can find her HERE.  Not only did a find a lovely shop, 
I found a sister in the Lord who shares my love for beautiful things.


I'd like to change the way I host this month's party and ask you to do something a bit different.  Instead of taking time to add your blog post to a party link here, would you take some time and open your Bible and read it?  I have drastically reduced the time that I spend blogging and have instead picked up my Bible more to read what God has to say.  He truly blesses me every day when I put HIM first.
May you each be blessed by Him.

Pearls and Lace Thursday #126 Creamy Pearls and Lace

If you've visited my blog any before, you know how much I love Pearls and Lace...
Well, my favorite theme is what I'd like to share with you today.
The latest finds from Etsy, Ebay, and Estate Sales!
We reached the low 80's today, and expect garage sales and yard sales will be plentiful soon...
I just hope I can wait!


One of my favorite things to do is to spread out the new pieces of laces and linens, pearls and buttons that I've collected, and display them in all their beauty.  I have used a foam board with old dictionary pages glued (with modge podge!) to it to make a vintage background.

The eyelet pieces above are aged to perfection...the staining only making them more beautiful and appealing to me.
I love the creaminess of the colors, variations of whites that make my heart happy!



Mother of Pearl buttons in an old mayonaise jar...






I scored a few pearl necklaces at an estate sale last Friday....Could you hear me singing?!!




I love the way a bit of rusty goodness gives these pieces the aged quality I desire so much.
They just look loved to me.









I am just delighted with these goodies.  After a week of being dejected because an estate sale opened early (you know who you are!!), and the big tray of pearl necklaces was already taken (you know who you are too!!), I was so hopeful that this next week would be a good one.  I was so excited to find that the sale was starting at the time posted!!  I didn't mind standing in line and it was so worth it!
Now realize, not all the sales I find have goodies, sometimes nothing.
And, the laces are all from either ebay or etsy shops.  But there's just something about the hunt, the find, and the excitement of owning something beautiful that I can share with you!!

I have some exciting news!!
Some of my previous posts have been featured!!
The Tray of Pearls post was featured at Adorned From Above,
And last week's post Pink and Cream Collage Inspiration is being featured by Jenn at
Just Put the Pan on the Table.  Many thanks to each of you for making my week!!

It's time for Pearls and Lace Thursday!  Share your pretties with us by linking the url code from your post, not the blog code, to the link below.

Blessings,
Doni
