100th post GIVEAWAY!!!!

 

Hello wonderful friends! I can't believe I've finally reached my 100th post. WHOO-HOO! It actaully seems like I should have hit the 100th mark along time ago, but  my post tend to be long, and I only blog on average once a week. Regardless....Im at the big 100 and I am having a giveaway to celebrate!!!!

My En Le Jardin art event is in 3 WEEKS!!!! EEEK!!! So I decided to make this giveaway a garden flower theme.

This magical garden beauty is Miss Madame Butterfly. She is a brooch that can be pinned to a pillow, lampshade, jacket, tote, whatever your little heart desires! 

  

 

She is such a beauty!

 

 

My next yummy goodie is SUPER FUN!!! Im a huge fan of Betsey Johnson and this brand new ring is perfect to wear for the spring/summer!!!!

 

CUTE!!!!!!

 

Lastly, I am including a set of bunny tags in the giveaway!!!

 

Please leave a comment on my blog, and I will draw the lucky winner on Sunday May 3rd. If you live in another country I will be more than happy to ship to your country.

 

Ok sweet friends I am taking a fun R&R break for a week!  Hubby, Grant, and I are going to Hawaii!!!!! Hubby has a huge conference to attend, so this will be a nice break for me and to spend some quality time with my family. Vivi has gone to Grandma's and Grandpa's to be *spoiled rotten*. As much as we would have loved to have taken her, my daughter does not travel well, and is such a busy girl. I think a 12 hour flight would do us all in!!! hee! hee! ;)

THANK YOU to ALL who visit my blog and continually leave me the kindest heartfelt compliments! I cherish and appreciate you all!!!!

XOXO,

 

Sweet Southern Apron

Hello sweet Belles! My lovely friends Heather and Stephenie hosted an Altered Apron Swap that I was super excited to join in on. However, I must admit I was a wee bit nervous because I dont sew, but I was up for the challange. :)

My apron is created and handmade with love for my dear wonderful friend Miss Ginny. When I was told that I was making my apron for her I was SOOOO HAPPY! I just adore Ginny and we both love the same looks and style so I just knew she would be so much fun to create for.  

 

I found this GORGEOUS vintage sheer mint lacey apron and adorned it with ribbons, bling, millinery, southern vintage doll head, a layer of crinoline petticoat, and sweet little whimscial bits!

I owned this vintage retro pink sweater for years. I've only worn it a handful of times because the sweater is wool and it's too itchy to wear. So, I thought why not use the gorgeous pearl trim collar for my apron.

 

I used it for the waistband and adorned the middle with a darling southern looking vintage doll head.  

  

 

The pocket in my opinion is truly the most DARLING part of the apron! To keep with the southern theme I added a little white picket fence, birdie, and little lamb. So sweet and whimsical!!!!

 

Eeeek!

  

   

Here I am modeling Miss Ginny's apron.

  

Im really tickled with how it turned out. Especially since I dont sew! ;) EEEK! I cant wait to see Ginny's photos of her modeling her southern belle apron!  

Heather and Stephenie thank you SO SO much for hosting a wonderful swap! I've really enjoyed seeing all the beautiful aprons everyone has created. You can see more photos of the pretty aprons here.

** BIG NEWS!!!**

My next post will be the BIG 100!!!! WHOO-HOO! I am having a HUGE giveaway! So please stop by and pay me a visit at the end of the week to see all the goodies! ;)

Have a fabulous and creative week!

XOXO,
