New Designs

I have had an idea for a journal cover around for some time now, I just needed to find the right colour papers to make it work. This is the first design made with collaged papers and a vintage photo of a french girl and her doll, the back and inside of the journal is covered with sheet music and tied with a tea dyed lace ribbon. I love this journal I have had it sitting in my studio and I keep glancing over to it. I will be making a matching little tin in the same design with 4 vanilla candles nestled inside. This journal is listed in the shop today. The weather has turned cool so fast here, I can smell fall in the air, witches, pumpkins, apples and crisp night air....my favouritve time of year.

When we first moved in a year ago, I remember looking at these pale blue bedroom walls and at the time not a big fan of blue, but over the past year while sleeping in the room I grew to like them very much, it has a nice cloud and sky feel to the colour and now with my white bed covers yes I have my own little cloud kingdom. I think we all go though decorating stages they say maybe ever 10 years you change what you like. I am starting to weed out most pink and flowering things, frilly and foofy and simplify my living space, it's easier to clean too. Well another hot and humid day here , I like to get on my computer first thing in the morning before the sun heats up my workspace. Waiting for an order of vintage buttons I purchased off ebay to come and should have some little creations designed with them for the shop soon.

A pretty wrapped paper bundle ready to send off in the mail. Sometimes it's the simplest things that look so pretty, wrapping in newsprint tied with twine and a printed black and white picture, it has a rustic french feel to it. I will wrap all my packages this way from now on.
