Treasury Tuesday – Treasure Hunt

Okay guys, this was just too cute not to share! The group at The Photo Impression made a fun and whimsical treasury called "Where IS that goose that lays golden eggs?". I was so tickled to see that my vintage button ring was the inspiration for this entire treasury!! 

They even wrote a little story to go along:
"Is he flying with birds & butterflies, marking time with a snail, hiding in a ring box, vase, or under a tree? Maybe he's swimming with the dolphins, cuddling with bunnies or hiding in a city building. Wherever he is...he's sly like a fox!"

I would love to share with all of you some of my latest creations to make it into shop. This is going to be the newest weekly post on Saturdays called "Saturday Shop Talk". There won't be much talkin', but just a general introduction. I really enjoy naming my pieces and sharing the little characters that they evoke and I hope you do too! Thanks for letting me have a show & tell day!! 

******Update: I'm a dork and realized that I meant this to be for Saturday and accidentally posted it today which was supposed to be for my Sunday Snag post.  I got my days mixed up (I blame dancing at all hours). Anyhoo, Saturday will be weekly posts of Shop Talk and Sundays will be weekly posts of Snags. Sheesh! I need some strong black tea now....*************

For those of you that enjoy Saturday Shop Talk, I've created a new blog just for that! This new blog is called ChatterBlossom Shop Talk and will be solely for introducing you to the new creations from my shop! Come on by for a visit if you like! :-)

Thursday Thrill – Oscar Night: Which Decade Wins?

Fashion changes quickly and everyone has their favorites. The Academy Awards technically started in 1929, so we will start our fashion reel there and head through to the 1980's. There is, undoubtedly, a wide range of styles within each year, but I've selected one dress that reminds me of each decade. Which decade do you find yourself most drawn to?
