old mirror makeover...
I love how it came out, do you? Thank you Karen at The Graphics Fairy for the fabulous french advertising image.
I intended this piece to go to the shop but loved how it turned out so I thought I'd see how it would fit in my nest somewhere, first the den...
No...perhaps in the bathroom...
No, maybe in the hall outside the bathroom...
No, what about in the living room on the mantel?
Definately not there...I can't take away my favorite mirror! Maybe it will look good in my craft room...oh and look at this painting isn't it to die for! It was my Mom's!
I do like it there but I decided that the frame is still a bit too country for me so off to the shop it went!
I finally remembered to bring my camera with me so a post on my booth at The Wrentham Country Store is coming soon!
I'm sure you all know the beautiful Anne and her fabulous blog Fiona and Twig! Well she was kind enough to feature my blog and Etsy shop in her post yesterday!!! Thank you so much Anne!!! She has a huge following and so many of them stopped by my new little blog with the sweetest comments. Please visit her blog for amazing photos (love her booth shots), and wonderful tales (she writes from the heart). Don't forget to visit her Etsy shop too...you know she made the homepage!!
Thank you to Kathleen at Faded Charm for hosting my favorite day, White Wednesday so I could share with you my old mirror makeover.

vintage jewelry...
Look at the dreamy shades of vintages whites in the beautiful strands of pearls with lovely rhinestone clasps.
I love the way they look in the glass jar!
I got this fabulous bracelet from Maureen's booth at the shop. I thought it would be perfect with my necklaces. I've recently seen pictures of Maureen's lovely home. Maybe she'll let me share them with you one day!
Pretty pearl and rhinestone earrings...
These sparkly screw back earrings are my favorite...love the icy blue stones!
Wonderful old heart necklace which was perfect for Valentine's Day...
This vintage Sara Coventry necklace was my Mom's. I've worn it so many times to weddings or at the holidays. My beautiful daughter even wore it to her senior prom a few years ago. Wish I had a photo of her to share with you in the necklace but my computer crashed a few years back and I didn't have my photos backed up! I'll ask her to see if her prom date agrees that it's ok to post his photo too so stay tuned!
I keep this one draped over my Mom's high school senior picture. Just beautiful!!
See that sweet little heart pin in the corner? My husband bought that for me at a flea market for my 18th birthday! We've been treasure hunting together forever!
I have most of these pretties displayed in this great little cabinet I use as a nightstand. It was originally a sage green with yellow inside. Of course I shabbied it up with a warm cottage white paint with pale aqua inside. Love glass knobs!!
The lighting in my bedroom is never good for photos. I took some last night and some this morning. It was hard to get photos of the jewelry in the cabinet as I have it displayed without getting glare or shadows. However, I love the way this fabulous pearl collar photographed at night. I keep this beauty on the base of my favorite lamp.
I got this wonderful treasure on ebay from the same seller I got my favorite mirror from. Perfectly tarnished over time. This one tops my bedside lamp.
Every girl needs a tiara to feel extra special...just like how you all have made me feel by your visiting and leaving such sweet comments about my little musings! Thank you so much!!
