If you've been reading over the last few weeks, you'll likely remember me lamenting my lack of spring decor. Well...I have to say that I've been busy, busy, busy and am crafting quite a collection! By the time spring is over, I'll have a whole bunch of pretty things to show off! I'm feeling pretty good about that too---it's fun to look around and feel the satisfaction of my own hard work!
I got this great idea from Lauren at My Wonderfully Made. I have to say that I don't like mine quite as much as hers but I think I'd like mine better if I had the right supplies for "antiquing" the paper. I guess I need to put in another order to my best friend and Close To My Heart consultant, Audra's scrapbooking website! Want to check it out yourself? Visit her here. |
I added this sweet iris embellishment, as well as a red daisy and a few other little things...and I was done! Love it---thanks so much Lauren! |
Or so the mothers believe... |
So...as you can see, things are getting pretty springy around here! It's nice to be getting rid of my earthy-toned primitive decor and into something a little more romantic. I'll be having one heck of a yard sale if this rain ever stops...!!
You are so crafty talented and creative, Sarah. These are adorable!...Christine
ReplyDeleteOh, very cute things you have made! Adorable!
ReplyDeleteHello Sarah,
ReplyDeleteyou are a very talented laady to make such beautiful home decorations. I am very fond to Jane Austen and so I love all you made. Very romantic! Thank you for sharing.
Greetings, Johanna
Hello Sarah! I'm so excited that you joined me at Faith, Grace, Crafts!! I now have a new blog to follow myself! AND, you've added my Giveaway post to your sidebar and I'm getting more and more excited about it each day.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed seeing your blog, and you are very creative! AND BUSY!! HOMESCHOOLING!!!! Wow....
Where you find the time to craft, I don't know. Seems like it would take every waking hour for me to keep up with the school stuff!
So glad you visited and thanks again for following,
blessings, Doni
Sarah you did such a great job! And that's what's so great about distressing/aging -- there is no right or wrong! I love how you added the flower embellishments -- perfect little touches! And that Jane Austen quote is one of my personal fav's!!
ReplyDeleteSooo very BEAUTIFUL sweetie.. And THANKS Oooodles for your note yesterday...It really warmed my heart..May blessings and Love from God above be on you today and all week...Prayers and Hugs Dena
ReplyDeleteYou were a bright spot in my day!!!
Sarah, these are just wonderful! Such a wonderful group of ideas. I love your antiqued pictures. I am totally inspired by your Pride and Prejudice piece. My oldest daughter turns 22 on Sat. and is a huge Jane Austen fan. So I think I will make something like this for her. She has a "shabby chic" style in her apartment. She will love it! We got to go to the Jane Austen Center last summer when my husband and I made our first trip to England. It was great. Happy Thursday!

Happy Pink Saturday Sarah Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful share today. I so love your creations. You did an awesome job. I love all of them, but those little bottles and that gorgeous cross, just stole my heart. And then to know that it has sentimental value as well, that makes it even more adorable. I love it. Thank you for inspiring me sweet friend. I love it when you do.
You asked me what I am reading. I have to share. I just finished a wonderful story called The Caregiver by Shelley Shepard Gray. Wonderful heartwarming book and am now starting on The Trouble with Angels by Debbie Macomber. I'll keep you posted on that read.
Have a wonderful weekend sweetie. Many hugs and SO Much love, Sherry
Well I will say you sure are crafty! Some pretties to brighten your spring decor!
ReplyDeleteHappy PS,

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful ideas! Love the Pride & Prejudice piece! You are well on your way to adding spring touches to your home!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by...so nice to meet you, Sarah!
Have a most beautiful Pink Saturday!
You create very pretty things. When I do my grocery shopping I am always looking for different shape bottles and jars and I buy accordingly (of course it has to be something I can use) They make great "altered" things and so in-expensive at the samae time.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely spring......
God Bless..........
Lovely job! Great projects that turned out so nice!
ReplyDeleteHPS! Thanks for visiting me today!! I LOVE all of your brilliant art projects!! Awesome!! I'm your newest follower, because I can't wait to see what you make next!!

Wonderful crafts you have been making. Like the little bottle with pink ribbon and lace. Congratulations on expecting another little girl later this summer. How wonderful! God is so good and a child is such a miracle. Thank you for stopping by my little blog. Happy PS.
ReplyDeleteSarah, you are just whipping up some wonderful springy crafts ... love the Barbie heart, chuckle.
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you we are originally from Chehalis, g'ma & g'pa ere married in your town.
Have a beautiful day ~

Such lovely crafts, Sarah! I especially love the cross. Your daughter Avalon's name is so pretty. Mine is 'Audrey' (the ballet themed room belongs to her).
ReplyDeleteThanks for your Pink Saturday visit!
Take care,
Susan
You really did get busy. Love your bottles.
ReplyDeleteHPS

You've been very busy Sarah! They all look beautiful - great job. :O)
ReplyDeleteLots of pretties ! I especially love the bottles and the button Cross :) You asked me about the altered matchboxes. I dump the matches out into a box and my Hubby builds things for his train with the matches :) I always paint my boxes with primer and then acrylic paint inside and out first, before adding any paper, so that the printing doesn't come through. Most people don't do that though. I must be extra picky, lol !! :) Happy Weekend !!! Hugs :) :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!! Isn't it fun to decorate with art you've made yourself!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog background too!!
Happy Pink Saturday!
Looks like Spring has gotten you in the creative mood! Love your frames and bottles!
ReplyDeleteI'm busy creative but not with things that show right now. Things like texturing walls- hopefully the room will look creative in the end but I do get antsy for the pretty part to hurry and show up!
