I have been a decorative painter for 16 plus years. I love rescuing vintage pieces and giving them a new life. I fell in love with the Shabby Chic style of decorating many years ago which changed my style from fun and funky to chippy and distressed. I love pink, turquoise, roses, and fabulous vintage finds and furniture with chippy paint. Tag sales, flea markets and auctions are where I love to be.
Let me start by saying that I LOVE this publication!! If you haven't seen it yet, it is a must have. Stampington has many different publications, all beautiful and geared toward specific topics. Somerset Life and Where Women Create are my favorite. In this latest issue, Andrea Singarella showed how to make these beautiful velvet ribbon bookmarks with vintage trimmings. I have lots of bits and pieces of vintage jewelry so I promptly ordered some beautiful ribbon and the metal ends needed for the project. These are a few I created. I ended up making a bunch of them. They were so much fun!!
Thanks for visiting ...
