Saturday Shop Talk – "Make Those Eyes at Me"

"Make Those Eyes at Me"

Personality: The Shy Romantic 
Places you'll find yourself: Willing him across the cafe to your table with just a flick of your eyelashes and a small, flirtatious smile

I created this little hair flower with fuchsia pink and purple anemone petals. In the center is a little cut-out vintage gold button and the back is covered in an upcycled, vintage men's silk tie and a small hair clip. The photo below is of another version available in my shop.

For the actual hairstyle pictured, I french braided all the way down rather loosely and wrapped the braid into a loose side bun, pinning it down with bobby pins.

Side note: I cut all my hair off this week!!! I had very long hair and they were able to take 4 ponytails worth for Locks of Love!! Crazy huh?! Now that my hair is very short, I'm going to start putting flowers like these in the front by my ear or side of my face.

Thursday Thrill – Easter Surprise

How many of you received Easter baskets when you were young? Or maybe you still do! I stopped getting these little treasure troves all wrapped in pastel when I was quite young. Actually, I think it would be really nice to have a little gift basket to share with someone and ring in the bells of spring. Here are a few things that I would love to find in what would apparently have to be a rather large Easter basket! :-)

There is no real rhyme or reason to this list. They are just a few little goodies that I wouldn't mind the Easter Bunny leaving at my doorstep. What do you all do for Easter or Spring?

1950's Floral Dress from Fab Vintage

I really love the colors and mixed florals on this dress. Seems comfy to wear and could easily be for entertaining guests or just sharing a slice of pie with the hubs.

Hand Felted Eggs by Katinytis

These beautifully felted eggs would be an all year round decor for me. So delicate and I personally love fiber art. Touchability (is that a word?) makes these that much more enticing.

1930's Tap Shorts from Stelma Designs

Spring knickers!! Need I say more?!

Antique Pastel Brooch from Beca Runs

A lovely pin to accent my slowly growing closet of vintage clothing. This particular one would be nice because the multi color pattern would make matching a breeze.

Paper Machè Chicks by Crave Cute

The closest thing to Peeps that I'll ever want. I'm not a fan of the iconic marshmallow treats but these little guys are too cute!

Spring Tulip Wreath by A Work of Heart SA

A bright and welcoming door wreath would be so nice to come home to! Tulips would be especially nice and I like the non-traditional basket style.

1950's Bow Hat from Ginger Root Vintage

A vintage hat. You know, I don't have one single hat. Not one. That needs to change, my friends. 

Sugar Cookies by Sugar Lane Bake Shop

Frosted cookies!!! This may be my favorite Easter tradition. Iced sugar cookies always make it feel like a holiday to me. 

Easter Bunny Ears by I Lick You

This little guy needs to be in my house right now. I want a puppy folks! 

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter and Spring!!

Treasury Tuesday – Thar She Blows!

The end of March is upon us and the last of the gusty March winds are blowing themselves into April. Most people still need to bundle up in warm clothes as spring has not quite sprung for most of the north. 

This blustery treasury is the second that I've featured from The Photo Impression. They really do a lovely job in their composition and the collections often tell a story. I guess they know a thing or two about that being that they are indeed fine art photographers! Hiding amongst the breezy finds is my pair of little button earrings in an earthy gray brown color.

What is your favorite piece?
