A Few of My Favorite Things

Wanna come over and have a cup of tea and a scone and have a few peeks into my home?

Here are just 3 little views of some of my faves. Gorgeous Large PEARL BUTTONS tossed onto a large cream platter on my coffee table. Comforting fun to paw through and hold them and rearrange now and then.


Above my bed; Beautiful pieces of gingerbread from an old home and lots of White and
Cream ware. All on top of a cloth covered interior of an old rolltop desk.










My Swanky Swig collection above the kitchen sink.






Our Bathroom, done all in White and black. Love that beadboard!

Just finished this special order of a dozen Bookmarks in the Jane Austen-esque mood. I love working on them; the pictures, the paper, the song sheets, the trims; all soothing. Backs are covered in song sheets as well.

Books I am Perusing...........or Bookmarking

Showing a little stack of books on my reading shelf today. A wide variety of titles, showing a broad reading spectrum, eh? Well, not really..........(Especially NOT Expectant Motherhood; YIKES!)


I have saved a stash of hard cover book spines for quite awhile now from books I have disassembled for artwork. They make great one of a kind bookmarks. I have seen this idea in magazines and also recently on the blog GREEN PAPER. Lots of creative ephemera going on there. A bit of old book pages for the back, cardstock for the middle, some fave Mod Podge,top it off with an eyelet. And, I used some cool old fishing line that I picked up at a sale. New reel of it; no fishy smell :)

Bookmarks to Cozy inside a Favorite Book

Finished these bookmarks for a friend today. They are so fun to make with little bits of paper, music, trims, buttons. All neutrals. The kind of bookmark to use when reading Jane Austen.
