Pretty, feminine,romantic,frilly, soft and vintage...

Hello sweet friends! I hope this finds you well and having a wonderful weekend! I recently bought some gorgeous supplies and just had to share them with you. This first picture is a box of beautiful millinery posies. I purchased these just for use on my hearts. I have renamed them Love Note Pockets. The name comes from something Chad and I have done for years. We love to just write a small note to one another a token of our love and appreciation and sit it by the coffee pot or on our end tables. Just something nice to find once a loved one has gone to work.
I also purchased these beautiful millinery roses and blackberries. I adore these so much! I don't think I could part with the blackberries or the big rose with the feather. I love feathers.
Beautiful blackberries. So summery :) I miss summer already...
This sweet little piece is actually a place card holder! It was made from vintage millinery and a newer velvet strawberry. I wrote Cottage Welcome on the place card and sat it on a pretty tole tray.
The pretty feather and rose sitting on a desk. Breathtakingly romantic...
Wonderfully frothy, frilly, sherbet colored chiffon trim. Oh how I adore this trim! It is so soft and feminine and the colors delicious...
Today, I made two Love Not Pockets. They are the perfect place to leave a love not or token of affection to a loved one :)
This one is gorgeous pink and green flocked wallpaper!! Oh is it ever gorgeous!! It has the prettiest pattern with rose bouquets! A gorgeous millinery posy bouquet is tucked in the corner, along with a rhinestone piece that sparkles in the light...
This one is so soft, in its cream and silver toned super soft flocked wallpaper with touches of pink and soft blue.
Another garland, this one made with a piece of minty seafoam green chiffon and lots of vintage millinery, all plucked from the same hat. Beautiful on a chandelier...
Or as a chair decoration, perhaps for a tea party or shower...
Or just draped anywhere! So romantic and delicate. All these are coming to my shop later, if you are interested.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I love your comments and feedback. You girls are just dolls!! Please enjoy the rest of your weekend, stay safe and well! Bunny Hugs and Nose Twitches ~ Amy

Shabby millinery and handmade roses garland or banner, Christmas

Hello Dear friends! Happy weekend!! I hope you had a wonderful week and have a fun weekend! Today, I was creating again :) This idea came to me as I was planning out my Christmas decor for this year. I thought, why not make a pretty garland with millinery and my favorite roses that I make! The colors on this are so soft and pretty! Pinks, aquas, creams and silver. The thing I love about this is that it is also a banner! You can use this year round! It has so many possibilities. You could use it on an Easter tree too. I put it on my little feather tree and loved it. But then I started putting it in different places around my home and loved it even more! I put it on my chandelier, LOVE!! I love an embellished chandelier! This is so pretty with the silver sparkling. I hung it on little pegs around my home. I hung it on my pantry door and my vintage window in the entry way. I just love its versatility! I adore an item that I can use for different reasons and places; I think this would be so pretty, tied around a chair. OR hanging from a tree or arbor for a garden tea party in the spring! The possibilities are endless. This is probably the only one I will make and I am putting it in my Etsy Shoppe!

Have a fun and safe weekend sweet friends! Bunny Hugs and Nose Twitches ~ Amy

Aqua, pink and sparkle

I decided to make up some rose tags in my favorite colors, aqua-ish blue and soft pink! I used my favorite glitter, silver German glass. I just love the effect! I think it looks so pretty on a white tree :)
I wrapped a pretty package and added a tag, so pretty! I will be doing this with gifts from now on :) Such a sweet little keepsake to go with a gift.
I added some to the tree without tags, just sat them on the branches. So pretty :) I will be adding a couple sets of this aqua and pink to my Etsy later today. Thank you all for stopping by! So sorry for all the boring posts, I am just having fun crafting again :) I will be back with a real post! Bunny Hugs and Nose Twitches ~ Amy

Been bakin up some....

Tags!!! Remember my handmade, hand dyed paper roses I used to make? Well, I had taken a break from them as they are very time consuming. But lately have been missing making them :) It seems like I always feel like making them around the holidays? Anyway, this year, I decided to make them into tags!


I did the old coffee treatment on the tags to age them. I added LOTS of cinnamon and vanilla to make them smell so good and festive. I had Christmas on the brain, lol! Poor Chad, came home from work and thought I was bakin' up something good, lol!! The boys kept saying, I wish those were cookies! So now I am going to have to bake some cookies, lol! Gotta keep the guys happy too! These tags smell so good and just make you feel warm inside, like Christmas time! I made some of my roses in a soft yellow, almost cream for an aged look. Then I added this pretty coppery, mauvy pink glitter to the edges. So festive and sparkly! I am going to make some soft pink ones with silver glass glitter for my next batch!
I have made up some cute little gift with purchase holiday packs for anyone that purchases one of my hearts. You get one of these yummy tags in the pack! I might make up a few sets to sell in my shop also. I think these make the cutest package tie ons or to from tags for presents! They also look pretty hanging on a feather tree. I added these labels to the back. I hope you enjoy these! I think I will use them on my gifts to girls this Christmas :) I love something unique for gift packaging. Wrapping presents is so much fun, especially for women and girls :) If you would like to order a custom set of these, please let me know and I will do a batch up for you in your specifications, minus the label on the back of course :) I think they would be perfect with the vintage style brown wrapping paper, tied up with twine!! I adore that look! Thank you so much for stopping by today! I will be back soon with some pretty new purchases I made lately. Bunny Hugs and Nose Twitches ~ Amy

I Heart You!

Hi friends! November is here. And I have a very sick little guy today :( Not a good way to start the month! I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween, and ate lots of candy :) I ate so many mini Twix, I don't need to see another one for a year, lol!

I have been working on more Heart Pockets and added another to the shop. Here are the two I finished up today. I hope you like them :) They are in my Etsy Shoppe. Thank you so much for stopping by! Bunny Hugs and Nose Twitches ~ Amy

Hi Sweet Friends! Happy Halloween!! I hope you all have a fun safe time tonight. I want to thank you all so much for your kind comments AND help and suggestions for our Disney World vacation. We are all so excited and cant wait. I plan to book some character meals soon. Elyse, thank you for the tips on that!!! :) Lori, thank you so much for the calender suggestion for the boys, they are so excited about that !! You girls are the best!


I want to let you know that I just added a couple of new items to my Etsy Shoppe! I have been having so much fun creating since Heather's workshop. I recently came into some wonderful millinery and wallpapers. I decided to make, heart Pockets! These are wooden hearts, embellished with pretty vintage items and have a tiny pocket to stick something in. I love how they turned out. I am working on some more of them in other colors. But these are my first two.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have fun tonight! My boys are so excited, counting down the hours to trick or treating. I personally will be glad when it is over, lol! Hubby and I will share a bottle of wine and watch the classic Poltergeist tonight :) Now that sounds like my kind of Halloween, lol! Yeah, I am boring...not to mention getting old, lol...

Giveaway WInner...

Hi everyone! Happy Thursday!! I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far! I have been busy :) Crafting some things for my shop. Bringing back some old things, but in a new way. Trying to keep my mind busy and off negative things. Chad and I had a blast the other night planning and booking a trip HERE for Easter break. My youngest is finally old enough for us to take the boys and I am ecstatic!! I cannot wait. If I can just make it through til' March 27th and no one gets sick for those ten days that we are gone, I will be happy, lol! It was a surprise for the boys, they freaked!



Chad and I had a nice time on our date :) The roses above are from my sweetie pie on the night of our date :) I have received a lot of emails asking what I thought of Paranormal Activity. Chad and I both thought it was really good and definitely worth seeing. We are into ghost hunting etc. So it was our cup of tea. We, however, did NOT think it was scary at all. Definitely eerie. It really made me think about what goes on in our house when we are asleep! If you like ghost hunting, I would recommend it. Just remember, it is filmed through the eyes of the video camera and is not a traditional movie. If you see it, please let me know what you think!
Okay sweetie pies! It is time for me to announce the winner of the embellished tray!! I used Tara Frey's Random Number Generator, picking from 1-126. The winner is...MARY from Mary Isabella And Kiley too! Mary, please email me with your address, for some reason, I cannot access your blog? Thank you all so much for your kind comments and support! You girls rock!
A bouquet of antiqued roses, just for you! I plan to be back soon with some new pretties and things in my shoppe! Bunny Hugs and Nose Twitches ~Amy
