I´m back

Hi All

I´m back from a great show in London

and a wonderful vacation in the UK.

Here´s a look at my table

ready for the show to start.

I had such a great time.

Thank you so much to all of you who came to visit

and also a huge thank you to all who bought home a bear.

Almost all the bears found new homes.

Only a teeny little bunch came home with me.

They are now listed on my website.

After a few days in london

we were heading for Oxford for the rest of the week.

This was our first visit to this beautiful town

and we so enjoyed the stay.

Here´s a few photos from our trip

for you to enjoy

 

 

 

Everything was so beautiful

and so interesting.

Will post more photos in a later post.

and

now it´s finally time to reveal what I have been

working on the last several month.

Stay tuned for the next post :o)

So happy to be back

and will try to catch up on everything.

Wishing you all a wonderful day

and thank you so much for visiting.

Bears in a Box ready to travel

Hi All

Sorry for my absence lately.

It´s been some busy days over here.

Just need to do the last packing now.

Tablecloth

and wine boxes to use for the display.

Don´t worry - they will be covered with more tablecloth.

I need to have some levels on the table

for the bears to be seen

Lace and doilies and old cigar boxes

for the display too

All set to go

I will be leaving early in the morning heading for London

and the show on Sunday - can´t wait.

23 little ones hoping to find a new home.

After a few days in London we will be spending

some days in Oxford too, for

a little but much needed vacation.

Relaxing with some great food and wine, and if I´m lucky

an antique and Craft market too.

I´ll be out of the studio until September 18th.

Hoping to catch up with you all when I return.

Wishing you all a beautiful weekend.

Little Lace Books

Little Lace Books

that´s what I have been working on lately.

I really enjoy using little snippets

and pieces and leftovers for these

this is the layers in two books

not two 'pages' are alike

Here´s a little peek at one of the pages.

The covers are made from vintage quilt pieces.

Some very worn ones I came across some time ago.

Love the faded colors and just knew they would

be perfect for this project.

some more details on the pages.

a sweet little pocket with a teeny tiny bird tag

another with a sweet vintage image

cute velvet flowers

and vintage buttons

You can see the quilt cover on this one

tied with a silk ribbon with an old

rusty belt bucket

Just a little more than a week to go

before I leave for London and The Hugglets Fair.

There´s still things to do

but I think I´m on schedule.

Thanks for visiting today

and wishing you all a very beautiful day

this first day of autumn.

A few new creations

Things have started to settle down about the

bears for now so I have been working on a

few little pouches for the shop.

They are so much fun to make

and also a great way to use some

of the good stuff

made from a vintage table clothes I found

some time ago at the flea

I have decorated them with layers

of vintage lace and a piece of beautiful striped

french fabric in faded green and cream

still love to use fabric images.

These are some awesome old photos

I thought were just perfect for this project.

a little bit of cheesecloth

and some vintage buttons too

Great for a gift

or storage

or a pretty wall hanger decoration.

Put in some branches and pods

and you have a wonderful fall decoration.

Will soon be available here.

Linking up with

White Wednesday

over at Faded Charm

Wishing you all a wonderful day

Some Saturday Finds

Hello everyone

and happy sunday

We finally got our car back from the garage.

It broke and we have been without car for 14 days - ughh.

You do get quite dependent....

With the car back I got a change to visit

my favorite flea again.

There weren´t many booths this time

but I did manage to find a few things

an awesome old frame with a cute illustration

a couple of old boxes.

One with purple silk fabric inside and a pair of brooken glasses

One with creamy silk fabric and some vintage silver spoons

Little baby dresses

and some collars, handkerchiefs and a bit of linen

here´s a close up of the spoon box.

It´s a bit worn and well used, but I love the silk

fabric and the way the button is made with the rack

Also a big welcome to

all my new followers.

I´m so glad you stopped by.

Wishing you all

a beautiful sunday sweet friends

Tina ♥♥♥

Enjoying

Enjoying

in between

on these last summerdays

trying to prepare

for Christmas

Wishing you all a beautiful day

ps: preview of bears for Hugglets

A Beautiful Package

Hello all

and happy friday

I wanted to show you

a beautiful package that arrived in the studio

the other day.

Some time ago I was so lucky to win

a giveaway from my friend Gail over at

Little Beach Design

Gail had wrapped it so pretty

with handstamped ribbon, lace

and millenery berries

Here´s a close up of the berries.

I have never seen any like this over here,

I so happy to add these to my little collection.

Inside the wrapping was this

beautiful collage.

I so love it.

It´s so pretty and simple at the same time.

In the middle is a beautiful poem all surrounded by

an old photo frame and some sweet vintage flowers.

Love the colors and it fits perfect in my studio.

I have found the perfect spot for it.

 Gail also included a sweet little linen pouch

all filled with vintage lace.

Do you think she knows me?

Thank you SO much Gail.

I will treasure it always.

Wishing you all a wonderful day.

Tina ♥♥♥
