Need a little shabby romantic look to "Glam" up the homestead? For any of you who are not familiar with my "Home Banners" let me tell you a little bit about them. Each Piece is collaged out of vintage papers, including wallpaper, sheet music, ledgers, and handwritten notes. Vintage mother of pearl buttons and tea stained lace are used as well. All this is then sandwiched between glass and soldered together. A chandelier crystal dances from the bottom of each letter. Each piece is then attached to an aged chain at the top for easy hanging and then gobs of silk ribbons and lace is added. Unique and defiantly a one of a kind. This one will be for sale in my Etsy store if you are interested in it.
On a totally different note..... I want to wish you all a wonderful and safe Labor Day! The temperates here is Southern California are still well into the triple digits. The kids have been kept in at recess for several days now, so we are headed to a cooler climate. High Sierras, here we come! I LOVE getting away and camping.....well not real camping, this kind of camping....
My husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary this Summer and this was our gift to each other. Cant you just see us traveling to all sorts of fun Antique shows and markets in this? LOL
That's my kind of camping woman! LOL Oh how fun..
BTW-add the Quilt Market to your list and come see me! ;)
