Introducing...

I would like to introduce you to Louise... I couldn't decide which way I wanted to decorate her...French, antique, or covered in lacy dollies...

so I was looking on The Graphic Fairy's website...(if you have never gone there, do, all her images are free and gorgeous) and I found this image of Louise. I fell in love with it, all the vintage roses, I knew then that was her name. So I covered her in vintage music, tore up wrapping paper, and antiqued her.

I am taking her to my space in town so I can sell jewelry off of her.
this is what she used to look like.

go to A Soft Place to Land for DIY day to view lots of projects...http://asoftplacetoland-kimba.blogspot.com/?id=1748%0D%0A

    Well I think Louise is just lovely :-) A beautiful transformation I should say. And may be an envy of town with her adorned with different kinds of jewelry :-) mmmm pearls.

    I was reading your Outdoor Wednesday post and yeah. That may just explain the term hot pink LOL.

    Mizpah,

    How fun. You are going to sell out of all of your jewelry with help from Louise.

    Just beautiful, Stefanie. I have three girls and they are all different. Yours is gorgeous. I'm so inspired to change something on the one that is papier mache.
