Vintage Chick

Do you see yourself as a "Vintage Chick?"  You know, you long for the days of simple elegance, writing with quills instead of keyboards, dressing in fine gowns not jeans, and whiling away the hours with needle and thread instead of T.V.  I love everything vintage, and definitely see myself as a "Vintage Chick."  I drool over vintage photographs, lace, buttons, old letters, watches and trinkets.  I know many of you enjoy the same things, so I thought I'd celebrate this passion by creating a new necklace design.  I hope you enjoy taking a peek at it.  I've been uploading a few other designs on my website, which I'd love for you to visit when you get a chance. I wish all you vintage chicks out there a lovely, inspiring day.  

Take care,

Easter Bunny

Have you ever been in a fashion show?  Well I have and this photo is proof of it.  I was even on a runway! I was the bunny in an Easter fashion show.  A very small one to be sure, but I remember taking my job extremely seriously.  Pretty funny considering what I was wearing.  I accompanied every model and remember I had to ask each lady whether she wanted me to walk, skip or hop.  Only the most adventurous of models asked me to hop!  Anyway, I wanted to wish all you bunnies out there a very happy, joyful and blessed Easter. 

Take care,

Meeting Rosemary

Over the weekend I was able to travel up North to Ventura and meet fellow blogger Rosemary. (That's Rosemary wearing one of her crowns, and I'm holding one of her gorgeous magical wands, which sold quickly afterwards).  A few months back I was reading her blog and noticed some of my charms in one of her photos.  It ends up she sells to the same shop in Ventura!  It was great meeting her, she's so cute and her creations are selling really well.  Check out Rosemary's blog for just a sampling of some of her work.  She makes crowns, cones, wands, gift boxes and even tags!  It was so fun to meet another lady with a passion for creating.  That's one reason I love blogs so much.  You are able to meet others from all over the country and world with similar interests.  So, I enjoyed meeting you Rosemary, and we'll have to get together again soon!  

Take care,

Award Thank You

Yea, Trudy from Crows in the Attic Primitives gave me my first official blog award!  Thanks Trudy.  It's awarded for bringing happiness and inspiration through your blog, and I'm to pass it on.  So I'm going to send it on its way to-Rosemary of Roses Petite Maison.  She is a wonderful person and I even got to meet her over the weekend.  She makes beautiful glittery gift boxes and party hats just to name a couple of her creations.  Another blog I'll award is to Jamie of Simply Me Art.  She makes beautiful jewelry out of vintage findings.  Finally this award goes to Lori of Faerie Window.  She creates lovely collages and whimsies out of papers and mache.

Thanks to all the wonderful blogs I've discovered on my new journey through blogland.  I just started a blog in January of this year, and have already been so inspired and amazed at the talent and creativity of so many.

Take care,

Martha
