Like these adorable glittery confections. They're Wendy Addison egg ornaments and are just too cute. I even used them to change my blog banner to something a bit more springy...What'ya think?
In old jewelry boxes...
in ironstone bowls...
tied in ribbons...
in jars...
or left loose...with room to roam.
A couple weeks ago she added a few items to her Etsy shop...which if you know her art work...you know that nothing lasts more than a few minutes on there. Well, I thought, if I go to her shop and there's anything left it was meant to be mine....and this is what I bought.
The most beautiful vintage wallpaper pouch. I can't tell you how in love I am with this piece...it's utterly perfect. It even has a receipt on there from Nebraska...and that's where I'm at...coincidence...I think not.
She adds so many wonderful details like...ribbons, lace, and stiching.
It is a piece that I will treasure always.
Gorgeous vintage beveled mirror...
Vintage candleholders...
Vintage french novel parcels... 
Vintage enamel soap dish...
Just in from France, vintage linen tea towels...
Beautiful vintage cherub putti angels...

Is it pictures from your favorite magazines...
An old family photo...
A lovely old slip...
A stack of wonderfully aged books...
A beautiful collection of transferware and ironstone...
I just thought I'd share with you what I made this weekend. I used a flat canvas panel and attached old french novel pages to it and embellished it with some muslin, tulle, and fun stuff like that, and the center piece is the gorgeous ballerina print I bought from Heather...I just LOVE that print. 
This too cute vintage italian tole strawberry light...
A sweet rose print...
And three different copies of these 1890's sketch books. These books contain antique lithographs and beautiful poems printed on velum...quite unique.
This last photo is a glimpse of what's going on over here today. Yesterday, we were in the 50's {which is unheard of this time of year} and today, it's like a blizzard. I took this photo from our porch and I can usually see for miles...not today.
And the winner of my OWOH giveaway is........Gillian from Scotland! Congratulations Gillian!
Are you still here.....you really need to leave Jeanne a comment so you can stop drooling over her pictures. Go on...I'll still be here when you get back ;o)
You are welcome to copy and save these two images for you to use in your art.
And here are the paper parcels available today.
Above are 1906 Novel Parcels from a book entitled Aunt Jane's Nieces, who's author just happens to be L. Frank Baum, the author of The Wizard of Oz.
And these sweet ol' pages came from a 1892 dictionary. The patina on them is so yummy!
It was from my lovely friend Kris. I opened the box...and this is what I found. A gorgeous wooden cigar box filled to the rim with goodies. Kris just knows what I love!
It was filled with everything from beautiful fabric to lovely flowers.
All this was packed in the cigar box. I just kept uncovering more and more wonderful things. There's glitter, stamps, french stickers, ribbons, gorgeous fabric, tags, cards, beautiful pins, flowers and even a yummy sounding receipe (love that).
And here's what I came up with...my own mini version of a vintage candy box. I just added some vintage wallpaper, velvet ribbon, old millinery, cheesecloth, a rhinestone pin and a piece of torn muslin to hang it from. Kinda cute, huh.
I'm really happy with how this turned out too. It looks so handmade and with those lovely shades of cream and gray it matches my home perfectly. Love it!
Thanks so much to these inspiring women for sharing their beautiful photos and ideas with us. Now, I'm off to be inspired again.
and we found a sweet little antique shop. They had so many little things to look at...and if you notice... that's just what I bought...little things. I found a gorgeous 1936 ribbon with a Mary medallion...love it! A sweet pink ribbon badge, lots of pearl necklaces to use in my craft room, some great vintage photos...I only bought 3...but I'm so going back to buy a bunch more...it's just that they were in the "rough room" and it was in the back of the shop with no heating, so my hands were frozen stiff and all I could muster up were these 3 photos. But they had hundreds to look through, so next time with gloves on hands, you can bet I'll be in a photo drunkeness when I'm done with that shop.
And I found these darling itsy bitsy vintage dice. After seeing a picture on Corey's blog of tiny dice (it's her banner now)...I knew I had to have some...and lo and behold...the little shop had some. WhoooHoo for me! You gotta love the little things!
