Come Sit on My Porch! & Creating!

Well, as I am still getting ready for next week (my boutique)! Sat. May 7th. Grab a friend and come on down! I've been sprucing up my porch and it's ready to Welcome You!
I couldn't resist a few scraps of burlap too! I gave new life to a vintage jewelery box. I'll start with the pics of the porch!

This is one of my favs! I picked up this Angel at "Rogers Gardens"
several years age. "Rogers Gardens" has amazing plants and garden
accessories!

OOps! it's out of order! I'm still learning and have a lot to learn! So, bare with me.

Now, the burlap stuff!

I added some burlap scraps and lace. I made the fufu tassel with silk scraps and added a fabric photo image. It has a great hot pink velvet lining.

And "Volia" it's done! It's available!
While watching one of my favorite shows "Dancing with the Stars") I'm hoping Kristi and Max win!! Anyway, I started making more of these fabric muslin and burlap roses, I can't stop making them! I add them to everything, pillows,cuffs,wreaths,cans and anything that needs a little extra! Here's another with guess what??

Well, before I close this post, I can't resist to share a pic of my grandaughter Sophie,we were leaving to school yesterday. Isn't she "yummy"???

Thank-you for visiting today! Have a great weekend, the weather will be great! As, always keep Creating,Junking & decorating!! That's what I'll be doing!!
Blessings!

Old barns everywhere on the way up!

So, I'll start here! it was hard to shop,take pics and drink coffee but, I did my best!

There are over 900 vendors at this flea~! yikes! it took us 6.5 hours to go through it once! (feet were tired!) But we pushed on! In my opinion, it is one of the best fleas in California! We try to make it up here at least twice a year!

Here, Evon and I looking at the booths loaded with amazzzing finds! Oh, did I say that it was 49 degrees that morning @6:00am!
Chilly!! burrrr!!

This booth had the best collection of religious Saints & jewelery.

My cart is full again!! "that's a good thing"

Did I, mention all gourmet food stands they have!! OMG!! too many! This guy caught our eye! Name, Harvey,he makes hot!! special orders of mini donuts! yum,yum! and they come in a cone! How cute is that!! and they were yummy!!
