My Beautiful Package from Lisa

As I told you in a previous post

a package was waiting for me when I returned home from Italy.

Before my vacation I ordered a Sepia Inpiration Kit from

the VERY talented and sweet Miss Lisa

over at

Tarnished and Tattered

Her inspiration kits sells out as fas as she can list them

and so did the one I had my eyes on so

Lisa made this beautiful one especialy for me

the inside of the lid

and this was what I saw when opening the box

OH MY

and this amazingly wonderful clock face

I´m soooo in love with everything in there

besides the box was also

a bunch of pretty lace

a beautiful old book (how did she know)

cabinet cards, a beautiful pendant tied to a pretty tag

and these two vintage dolls dresses.

How amazing are those...

I´m back

from Italy

and the Amalfi Coast

We had a great trip

and enjoyed everything.

Here´s a few photos of

what I have seen

the look down from the road.

There´s one road along the coast

not very wide, I have to tell you

but with the most breathtaking views to the coast.

the view from the sea

a peaceful garden.

Villa Cimbrone in Ravello

more from Ville Cimbrone

we walk up from the coast to Ravello

400 meter of highs from the sea.

Doesn´t sound like much you might think

It was..... phew

This is me in front of the Dome in Amalfi.

This is just a few pics - going to show you more later.

It´s great to be back though.

I missed you all while I was gone.

I also want to thank all of you who visited my studio

at the Where Bloggers Create party while I was gone.

I´m going to visit you all back

as soon as possible.

Thank you so much.

a wonderful package was waiting for me when I arrived

from the very talented and sweet Lisa over at Tarnished and Tattered

Going to show you in the next post.

I brought back some wonderful lace from the marked

in Italy - can´t wait to create with it.

on the right day - at this moment I´m enjoying some time Italy.

Welcome to the

Where Bloggers Create

blog party hosted by sweet Karen over at

My Desert Cottage

and welcome to my Studio

This is how my studio looks like at first sight through the door

my working table just in front of the window

and the lenght of the table - that´s how wide my room is

it´s a VERY small room 

the left wall filled with shelves

the white ones are the newest ones

and that´s where I keep most of the pretty stuff

the right wall - also filled with shelves

and at the end a leftover desk from my children with

my computer and printer.

as you can see - filled to the brim 

lets have a closer  look

this is a pretty old shelf painted cremy white

on the only spot left on my walls - next to my working table

lots of books and magazines.

on my working table I

on my working table II

an old cake centrepiece filled with pretty stuff

tags, lace, seambinding - ready for use

old glass jars with more tags and clothespins with seambinding

some of my finds from flea markets

old handkerchiefs, pretty lace, old sewing notions

my collection of old tins and boxes

ready for use

an old metal planter filled with silk fabric

and velvet flowers

two little bears waiting for a new home

and my old dressform

decorated with a vintage collar

and pretty flower

and some of my necklaces

This is where I create.

I hope you have enjoyed the visit

Looking forward to visit everyone

when I´m back from my little trip

Wishing you all a wonderful day

Fun With Cabinet Cards

I have been having fun with my Cabinet Cards lately

Didn´t want to use the original ones, so I scanned a few

in different sizes and have been creating with these

glued onto heavy card stock they turned out almost as the original ones

adding a bit a seambinding

and some rusty paper clips

a bit of twine too

I have been creating tags, ornaments

and a fun garland too

time is running

and vacation time is fast approaching

One week left before I´m heading for a 14 days

trip to the Amalfi Coast in Italy

which means visits to Capri, Possitano, Ravello, Vesuv, Pompeiji ...

and lots of good food and wine

I need to finish a few projects before though

and prepare the post for the

Where Bloggers Create Blog Party.

I hope I can find out how to schedule the post

to show up on the right day.

Wishing you all a wonderful

and creative weekend

Tina ♥♥♥
