Isn’t that a great concept?
I hate to admit it but I didn’t participate totally ……mainly because I didn’t realize it until it was
the day that everyone posted their creations…….and though I dabble in altered art
……I’m not that good
nothing like these gals
OWOH is a worldwide blog party that over 800 participated in.
I did though comment on Julia of Vintage with Laces post.
…..and guess what? I WON!!!!
I was thrilled when Julia emailed me that my new family was coming to live with me.
Whata ya think of my new family?
No this isn’t really them but I would love me a few sheep.
But for now I’m very content with this gorgeous card.
Love the subtle tones.
Sweet Julia must have remembered how much I love sheep.
Yes
Julia I love my new family!!!!
My newly adopted 5 sisters and a cousin.
They are very well behaved and seem to get along well with each other.
Whew, that was a relief.
I thought I was going to have to referee during squabbles :)
but they are very lady like.
The lace details and small embellishments are so well balanced and keep your
eyes moving from one gorgeous piece to another
I found the perfect place to display it…..my wire wall tree.
Or I guess you could call it my family tree:)
The new sisters and cousin are enjoying the living room
I think.
This is one of the prettiest collages I have ever seen or
been lucky enough to own….I want to enjoy it as much as possible
so I may move on the wall next to my bed.
I had seen many of Julia’s work before but to see it in real life it’s even more magnificent.
This is the tag she sent too. I’m crazy about this vintage botanical
that is made on fabric and lined with delicate lace.
and the wonderful hand written note on the back.
I just have to show you the way Julia specially wrapped
the whole package.
She sewed and glued pieces of lace, fabric and text on the paper that
she wrapped the collage in. Isn’t that clever?
Julia also sent me a German home décor catalog called Mirabeau that she knew I would go crazy for.
She added some little notes of the things that struck her fancy.
It’s an online shop that carries furnishings everything from Kitchens
to Bedding.
I would love this for my studio or my kitchen too.
I think we need a Mirabeau here in the US.
To die for table and stools
Dreaming of a bubble bath in this tub
Great tablecloth made from scraps of fabrics and lace.
A great upcycled idea.
May have to put this one on my to-do list too.
I think Julia and I could do some damage with this company.
There was nothing I didn’t like in it.
It has some great ideas in every decorated rooms
filled with all the soothing colors of white, grey and cream.
Julia I can’t describe how much I love everything you sent and
how happy you made me.
This “one” heart is so overjoyed to own something
made by your own two hands.
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!

That is a beautiful and thoughtful gift. The whole thing is amazing, from the art to the packaging.
That is a terribly cute family! Plus it is the only new kind I know I could handle. I love her art, so different.

Your new header is so pretty Carole!
sending hugs
This is my first visit to your blog and I've found it so enjoyable. Your lilacs are glorious. We don't have any in our garden, but I get to enjoy them at the country inn across the street from my house. All of your photos are so beautiful. I love your garden shed! We're about to transform our daughters' old playhouse into a garden cottage. I'd love for you to take a peek at my garden page at Brambly. Take care.
