Introducing....

Colette!!!!
Isn't that a pretty French name....
I finished adorning my dress form and I think she turned out sooooo pretty....
(remember this post)

I got the best idea from Nicki @ A Vintage Farmhouse (gorgeous blog by the way!)

to use a antique lamp base, and being the hoarder that I am, I had one!!!!

LOVE IT!!!

just perfect...

then to cover her bottom...

vintage lace and gorgeous lace roses, which can you believe came off a skirt that my daughter out grew...

more rosettes and some lace to cover her tattered shoulders...

I noticed that she was missing something...

there, a glass knob to finish her off...

I started putting on the charms,
 she is going to my booth...(with a NFS tag on her)
she is there just to look pretty and sale charms...

 

I think she is perfect!

and I can fit alot of charms on her...

lol...so I better get busy soldering!

lovin' chalk paint...

but...who isn't?
I love that you don't have to prime or sand...but I really love how fast it dries...

I found these lazy susans and decided to paint them...and add some French graphics...

(there is sooooo much inspiration out in blog world, where you get great ideas...thanks!)

I then went to the fabulous Graphic's Fairy ...

I printed it out and then used tracing paper with a dull pencil and traced it,

I then flipped it over and used a spoon to burnish it onto the wood,

I then went over it with a small paint brush using burnt umber...

 

sanded it and sealed it with wax...

easy!!!

I am painting everything!

Primp Your Stuff Wednesday

 

well, another first...
my son is driving to the beach today with friends....aghhhhhh, he is eighteen, I have to be brave and just have faith...
funny how we change when we become moms, when I was that age, I drove all over, thought I was so grown up, but,
when its your child, they still seem like babies to us!
so, I am trying to stay busy today...

I found this manniquin on Ebay, no one bid, so mine for $24.00!

she is made of foam and came with a cover, so I tea dyed it and used the Citra-sov method and transfered some pretties...

I want to put her in my booth and pin my soldered charms to her...

her dress is alittle short,

I think I will glue some vintage lace to the bottom.

She didn't come with a stand, I will be on the look out for something...

any suggestions?

Christmas?...

I just got back from Hobby Lobby and wow....
its full of Christmas....eeeekkkk,
it makes you feel overwhelmed...like its almost here!!!!

always running behind,

its a little stressfull!
