Shabby Chic Shopping Bag

Hello my dear friends,
I made this shabby chic  shopping bag for my dear friend Julia  @ Vintage With Laces . Julia just loves to go to flea markets and the bag
made a wonderful birthday gift for her.

Some lace,a soldered charm, a big vintage spool of creamy cotton thread and a dawning mushroom I found at the flea market.
I was so excited when I found the dawning mushroom because I knew she was looking for one.

Adorable tote, Marie. What is a dawning mushroom? Not edible, I'm guessing?

Marie. What a wonderful gift for your friend. She is going to love it I am sure! What great finds at the market too. We don't have one close to me so I rely on antique malls. Beautiful blog and your work is lovely. Becs

Barbara Jean said...

Hi Marie,
Just came over to say, I will not clean the brass stencils too much, as you said. I would like to get the thick paint off some, but only if it does not make them look 'new'. I'm more into rustic like you. =)

Oh Marie
what a darling sweet bag! It is amazing and I know Julia will adore it! I love all the wonderful art pieces you shared on this post. I could look at it for hours! :) Stay cool! :)

Anne said...

So charming! Visiting you via Tales from an OC Cottage...

Angie said...

Marie, all items you made are so very lovely! You do an amazing job of creating things with lace and fabric.

I'm glad I read some of the comments because I'm not alone in wondering what a "dawning mushroom" could be! Did it have it's dawn and disappear? I didn't see it in the photo (lol).

Thanks for sharing your lovely creations!.......Angie

Unknown said...

Your friend is lucky to get such a nice gift! You are talented and I love to see what you are doing with found items. I started a new blog stop over sometime!

June said...

I know the birthday girl loved it Marie. Filled with everything Julia loves too. I have to say that Karen has the best graphics. I can go over there and spend hours.

I visited your beautiful garden blog. Ooooh I love your hydrangea blooms! I never remember how to turn them from pink to blue, so it's a good thing I love both colors ;).
