I´m finally Back and with a GiveAway

 I´m finally back.

My internet connection is up and running again

You just can´t image how hard these last 11 days

have been or maybe you can.

Not been able to connect with anyone.

Not being able to visit you all.

I feel so out of the loop

It´s amazing how lost you can been

with no internet - what did we do before....

and visit me and my humble little studio.

I want to show my gratitude

No Connection

Hi All

Just wanted to pop in and let you know

I´m still here.

Our cabel broke down due to meltwater

so I have been without connection since

last saturday, and it´s going to last

another week to be fixed.

The cable company have provided me with a

very very slow wireless connection

until everything is solved.
This will allow me to keep up with
emails and my shops
but it won´t load blogs and pages with
lots of photos...

Thank you SO much for all your comments

on my last posts and

welcome to all my new followers.

I so appreaciate all of you.

I´ll do my best to keep up

with all of you when I get my

normal (faster) connection back.

So

If I haven´t visit you lately

you now know why...sign.

I really hope this will get fixed soon

and in the meantime

I´m working on the promised

500 followers giveaway.

Wishing you all a lovely day

Tina ♥♥♥

Heart Creations

I bought in some burlap

and decided to create a few hearts

now that Valentines Day is approaching

then searched for some

pretty images.

These are printed on the burlap

and decorated with a little bit of silver glitter 

more pretty images

printed on muslin.

A little bit of lace

and a string as hanger.

I really like how they turned out.

Wishing you all a very pretty day.

A Beautiful Swap

In december Sweet Ann and I decided
to do a privat swap.

I have been a long time admirer of Anns creations

so I was beyond trilled that she wanted

to do a swap with me.

I love everything she does and her style

is just amazing.

This is how the package looked like

when I opened the box.

oooohhhhh... drooling..

so beautifully packed

with lovely seambinding, lace and

yummi silver tinsel.

I love those old books so pretty with

an old christmas decoration

and a beautiful bottlebrush tree.

We can´t get anything like that over here, so I´m so

happy for my little tree.

I saved all the silver tinsel in a tiny bag too.

Here´s a wonderful vintage pincushion.

The buttom is silver and inside little sewing notions.

Together with a beautiful old tin

decorated with lace and seambinding

and with a cabinet card on top.

This is the inside of the box.

I haven´t seen anything that pretty.

A tiny brooken mirror with an old photo in the lid

and there´s more....

when I removed the lace, this is what I saw.

All filled with the most yummi stuff.

Beautiful bling, vintage buttons, teeny tiny vintage

tags, old keys, tiny shoes...

the sweet little round box on the side

with the lady on top, is an old measuring tape

and

this....

One of Anns famous suitcase

pocket creations.

This is SO beautiful, filled with lace and trim.

It has the most wonderful pale blue color

underneath the lace.

Inside is tucket wonderful emphemera.

and if this wasn´t enough

Ann also gifted me with one of her

beautiful amazing cones.

Another little bootlebrush tree inside together

with a wonderful father christmas, a little

baby shoe, silver tinsel, lots of lace and

a sweet little lamb too.

I have been in love with Anns suitcase pockets

and her cones ever since I saw them on flickr

a long time ago

I feel so fortunate

to owe one of each now.

I LOVE everything Ann

Thank you SO much for creating

these amazing beauties for me. 

Make sure to pop over and visit Ann at

The Tin Rabbit

and see her wonderful creations.

I can´t wait for her to list them in

her new Etsy Shop.

Wishing you all a beautiful day

I´ve been A Good Girl

Just a quick post to show you

how the new year have started over at my place.

On this the first day in the new year

which also happens to be my birthday

we have had the most amazing beautiful weather

*of course*

Hubby and I went for a walk at our favorite beach

and this is how it looks like right now.

With lots of snow and lots of sun

so you see....

I have been a very good girl :-)

Since this is going to be my birthday month

and because I have some very exciting news to share

(more about this soon)

and because I´m heading for 500 followers

I thought it would be appropriate with a giveaway soon.

Wouldn´t that be fun...

I have soo many plans for this new Year.

How about you...

so - of to start my list

and to work on the giveaway.

Wishing you all a wonderful day.

Tina ♥♥♥
