Victorian Room Lady

I found this dress form lady but it was very plain....soooo I wove netting around the whole dress....It really didn't take that long but I liked the look a lot better.......

Then I took some of my "VERY OLD JEWELRY" that I haven't worn in years and put it around her neck.....I also had an old broach and bracelet I put around her neck......
It sure brings back some sweet memories of my old jewelry.....

I hung a small purse with some roses.......

and on the back of the form I put some silk roses and tied a bow with netting and ribbon and hung a crystal from the bow.......

I have her in my Victorian room....

just looking pretty......

Some New Treasures

Some New Treasures found on our excursion to Home Goods....I have never been there before and I felt like a kid in a candy store....I found this Fabulous Hat lamp actually 2 of them...They were 2 for $29..I put one on my fireplace with a few other Little things I love......

I tied some netting and put 3 silk pink roses on the brim.....
The other one I put in my "French Section" on an old desk....this is in my entry way......

I also found these faux Mercury Glass candle holders...I also tied some netting and put roses on them.....They look soooooo pretty at night.....

Thank you for your visit...

Hugs,

Blog Award and I've been Taged !!!!!

My sweet friend Becky from "Lace and Lures" gave me this blog award.

1. I was born and raised in California.....Born in Oakland stayed until I was six then moved to San Lorenzo.....

2. My husband and I went to High School together....but never dated until after High School......and the rest is history......

3. When I was about 20 I stayed with my grandparents in Ireland for 3 months. My Mom was born and raised in Ireland......I think that is why I love Europe so much.......It's in my blood.....

4. I "LOVE" to travel......Been to Paris twice... Italy... England two times.... Portugal.... Spain ....and of course Ireland.....and have more trips planned God willing......

5. I love cleaning my home....but I'm what you call a bouncer.....I go from room to room and then back to the first room I started in....I'm all over the place......crazy.....I make myself tired......

New Lap Top, Mika and Flowers....

Not sure how to make a lap top look pretty in a picture but I tried my best....My husband is the best....It took him a VERY long time to set this up for me...bless his heart....I have wanted to get a lap top for a while and saved my $$$ and finally it is put together and wireless....I can sit anywhere now, outside in the family room anywhere...amazing..."THANK YOU" my sweet Dougie....

I was trying to take a picture and look who came to help...."Mika Bella"....

Well anyway it is loaded with antiques shops and the cutest little Tea Shop, we will be going there and to have Tea but not this month. We already have reservations at another Tea Shop. Getting back to "Mary Margaret's Antiques". There are 3 women that have their Treasures in the shop, 2 sisters Sandi and Joni, and the owner Peggy who is Mary Margaret. I was talking to Sandi, she gave me permission to show her lovely shop on my blog. Sandi told me the shop will have a advertisement in the up coming Romantic Home magazine. So please look for their add. This shop is "LOADED" with pretty "STUFF". Enjoy your visit to "Mary Margaret's Antique Shop".

Sorry, Cielo changed the date to Sept 8 for the party and I had already posted this and I do not know how to un post it until the 8th so I'm a little early.

All of my windows on the outside of my home have a flower box except one. After a visit to Nantucket and saw all of the beautiful window boxes I came home and went to work....I have had them in place about 4 years and every season they just get better...inside windows I have things that make me happy to look at everyday.....

Enjoy!!!!
