I adhered this beautiful flower to my lampshade in my art studio. I love the "chandelier" look of this lamp!

Swap treats!

I'm so excited about going to the Paper Cowgirls Art Retreat in June! Of course mine had to have a French touch! My friend, Mendy is hosting a flower swap and I made these toile flowers. I'm hosting a trim swap and tea stained this beautiful toile ribbon. I'll also be doing the mini album page swap which should be fun. I can't wait to see what everyone does!

I spent last weekend in Fredericksburg at a beautiful B&B with my girlfriends. I got to catch up on some scrapbooking and did a little shopping along Main Street since the weather was ideal! I saw this beautiful gate and couldn't resist taking a picture of it because it looked so European. I also purchased this old drawing of French style tables. Each is numbered and signed.

I found this wonderful old trophy while antiquing recently. I think it adds a touch of class to my bookshelves. I'm thinking about having something French engraved on it...

I was so excited to go to Round Top and as expected, was overwhelmed by the magnitude of the selection of antiques and embellishments! My head was spinning with the possibilities! Wish I had a bigger house and more craft space...

Round Top: table after table
of endless embellishments...

Round Top--Longing to buy these French chairs...
