Miss Rhea's Easter Swap

I am so happy that I participated in Miss Rhea's Easter Swap.

Thank you Miss Rhea! This was so much fun and alot of work on the hostess's part. 

We each received 2 partners and we were to make a basket using a yogurt cup and include 5 treasures with it. My first partner was Linda.

This is my beautiful basket and treasures from Linda as I took them out of the box.

I asked my partners to use creams, whites, beiges etc.
This is a detail of my basket , a sheet music flower
These are the treasures Linda included with my basket...Pompom trim, a rhinestone button, lace and a chandelier crystal all on the most beautiful tags. She also included chandelier stamped muslin ribbon with an Eiffel tower charm. I really enjoyed all of it!
I love chandeliers! Thank you soooo much Linda.

My second partner was Leslie.

This is the pretty basket she gifted me with and all the pretty wrapped treasures.

Here is a close-up of the pretty basket she made.
These are my gorgeous treasures unwrapped.
They include the sweetest tiny seam binding covered wreath, a velvet bookmark,
a rhinestone pin, a shaker of silver glitter,
and a millinery flower of the most beautiful shades of ecru and sand. Thank you Leslie, I love it all!
Happy Blessed Easter to everyone!

Mother's Day already?

For Mother's Day I was going to ask for some updates that I had been planning for my little bathroom. But, my husband has decided to do them now because come May he will be knee deep in planting his award winning dahlia garden. So here are the new fixtures. The new cabinet came last year. 

This , however is the star. My little chandelier. It is so perfect for this small bath. I hadn't even thought of a chandy. I was picking out standard, wall mounted lights, and husband mentioned something about a chandelier. I could have kissed him right there in Lowe's. Why I didn't of it myself is a mystery. I was so stuck in a decorating rut....chandeliers for the dining room, wall pendant for the bath. Now I want to put them everywhere!  Now what should I ask for for my birthday.......?
