Shabby Chic Wall Hanger

Hello my dear friends,

I found this metal wall hanger at the flea market some time ago. It was dark green and needed a little TLC. So I painted it white and used my favorite graphic from Karen The Graphics Fairy added some lace and a button and voila - a french shabby chic wall hanger. Thank you,Karen.
I will link up to Brag Monday and if you haven't visited Brag Monday yet go and have a look at all the wonderful projects. Always so much inspirations.

Have a wonderful Monday and a Happy Halloween dear  friends.

Flea Market Finds and some soldering

Hello my dear friends,
I found these little magnet hearts in a shop and of course they had to come home with me. My idea was to solder one of them to see what it looks like. Seeing the outcome I think I will solder the other two as well.
A perfect little gift don’t you think?


Today I went to the flea market and here is what came home with me.

One can’t have enough bling don’t you think? I love old pocket watches and have a small collection already.

Some doilies.

And this apron. I also found an old sleigh which I will use for my Christmas decoration.
Tomorrow my aunt from North Carolina will visit me and stay for a week. That will reduce my blogging time. Sorry for that – I will catch up with you soon.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for all your lovely comments. Have a wonderful Sunday.
Hugs and love,

Marie
