This has been a busy week but then aren't they all?? I love blogging and I have made so many new friends I wish I had more time to spend visiting and posting. I don't know how you all find the time to blog everyday and post blogs as well! I have to MAKE myself not do it so I can get my other stuff done, like work! lolThis wonderful cherry bag was sent to me by the sweetest blog friend~ Michelle at Vintage Pistache Isn't it darling!!! She was so kind to send it to me because of my love of cherries~You remember that cherry camper of mine??:-) What surprise to find at the post office waiting for me! Just like Christmas!! She even packed it in matching tissue paper. That is great since I am such a color junky. I have to use mugs/cups for my tea and coffee to match what I am wearing. (I am baaaaaad on color coordination, sort of an obssession I think lol)
These are the cutest Halloween cards that are vintage inspired. I found them at Barnes and Noble~a box of 24 for only $6.95~What a deal! I love to mail out cards the old fashioned way.
I can not believe that the end of October is almost here! I will have to be digging out Christmas decorations soon to put out in the store! And I am NOT ready to Christmas shop. But I am ready to see all my vintage Christmas decorations! I like to get them out early so I can enjoy them as long as possible
This is a black and white toile lampshade that I finished up this week. I have a thing lately for black and white. Not really sure why that is. I wish I had more time to make these, I have so many designs and ideas. That goes for all my other projects too.***NOTE***I am planning to do a give away and will be doing a post on it over the weekend so check back!!!
Happy Friday to all!!

What a beautiful lamp shade! I'm doing a little black and white thing myself of late. I find so many inspirational ideas in blogland and just not enough time. I am going to pop over to Barnes and Noble though because that card set is fantastic!
Happy Friday,
Dena
That purse is so darling! How wonderful that she sent it to you!I don't have a Barnes & Noble near me here in Mayberry...LOL...but those sure are cute cards! The lampshade came out lovely as well!
Blessings,

I love that lamp! How nice to get such a fun gift from Michelle. Isn't she sweet?
Love,

Such pretty things!!
:)
I am a freak about color coordination too. My shoes have to match something else I am wearing. That's probably why I have 10 pairs of converse tennis shoes in different colors. ha ha What a pretty purse you got from Michelle. Love the cherries!

Love the bag and those cards. Good night Mary
Love The Lamp Shade, The Vintage Cards are Wonderful and The Cherry Bag too cute. I can't belive the Holidays are so soon either, I'm starting an Etsy store soon, just in time for the holiday Season, any advice?

Love your darling cherry purse and lampshade too.
My daughter gave me the same cards! They are the sweetest. I've been posting them, plus I plan to mail them out too. Hope your weekend is great. Linda
Isn't Michelle such a sweetie?! She's hysterical. Thanks for the encouragment with my box of inspiration =) I'm going to keep adding to it and then list what I have ready on Tuesday. Who knows, maybe someone will enjoy it. I feel more like shopping today than crafting though =) But I'm looking forward to snuggling up with baby #4 tonight. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings...

The lampshade is amazing. You are quite talented my dear:) Thanks for the heads-up on the cards, they look precious.
