My new family

       
                                      One World One Heart
                                        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.

                                               note
                                 Yes
                             Julia I love my new family!!!!
                              
                                                   full view
                                             My newly adopted 5 sisters and a cousin.
                                                close up
                                         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.
                                     they were of


                          The lace details and small embellishments are so well balanced and keep your
                    eyes moving from one gorgeous piece to another
                                     

                               rose

                                 on tree


                   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.
                                 on wall
                      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.
                              front tag
               This is the tag she sent too. I’m crazy about this vintage botanical
                             that is made on fabric and lined with delicate lace.
                             tag
                 and the wonderful hand written note on the back.
                 I just have to show you the way Julia specially wrapped
                  the whole package.
                                  wrap
                    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.
                         cover
                  It’s an online shop that carries furnishings everything from Kitchens
        to Bedding.
                         cabinet
                    I would love this for my studio or my kitchen too.
            I think we need a Mirabeau here in the US.
                         kitchen
                     To die for table and stools
                          bath
                              Dreaming of a bubble bath in this tub
                             tablecloth
                               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!!!!!!!!
