Robin's Egg Blues: Giveaway

Head on over to Robin's Egg Blues

for the lovely giveaway

of the items shown below.

Be Still My Beating HEART!

I LOVE finding great things

that people find used and

then put their own

personality into them.

I stumbled on the

magnificent individual, Sachiko

from Tea Rose Home today

and just fell in LOVE with

what she makes or transforms.

She has a sweet, romantic style

that I just love.

When I am out thrifting,

woven bags, purses, and totes

always catch my eye

and more times than not

I can't pass them up.

They end up coming home with me.

After seeing how she has

transformed these bags,

I have another project

added to my GROWING list

of things that I will be

CREATING in the near future.

Here is a picture of what she started with...

And here is what she did with just a little embellishment...how cute!!

Some more of her creations...EYE CANDY...

This is my favorite! I love the pom-poms!

She has some wonderful tutorials
on some of her other creations!
All of which are wonderfully pretty!
