What a Wonderful Month of Love!

The Colors Of Valentines Day!

Whimsical Vintage Valentines

always add a great touch!

These 3 Spun Cotton Animals were plucked

from Kohls Christmas Clearance 75% off

I had to reach to the tip-top of a Tree display

to rescue the Darling Elephant aren't they cute?

I was only able to do a little bit of crafting 

for this Valentine Season!

I did put this banner together so easy to do...

Using a simple Target Banner $3 just added some of my

Vintage Valentines using mini clothes-pins

so not to damage the Valentines!

We also had Company this month 

Our daughter and her Family visited

from Utah

And since I had all my Valentine craft goodies out

Amelie one of our grands stayed very, very 

busy creating whimsical goodies!

Thanks for popping by

Christmas Crafting Kitschy Kittens

It's a Merry Crafting Christmas Season!

About a week ago I posted this picture on a sharing Group

on Facebook.... Not sure if you have heard of one of these groups

you can share your crafts but can't mention a thing about selling your crafts

The above picture is the one I posted!

Now mind you these Kitsch Kittens were from last years crafting

and I no longer had any made.

But I got such positive response to the point the admin of this

Facebook Group set off commenting...

(which I thought was a bit strange)

So I decided to get out my supplies...

fire-up the old glue gun and get busy!

One little hiccup my glue gun died!!

I had to postpone crafting until I shopped for

a new Glue gun....

Got a New Glue Gun, and I'm back in business 

I've only made 4 and I'm offering them for sale

in my Etsy Shop  Saturdayfinds $25 includes shipping

www.saturdayfinds.etsy.com

I hope your Enjoying your Thanksgiving Weekend

A special time to be Thankful!

Big Hugs From Rainy California,

A Cottage Dollhouse

Buying Real Estate!
Yes I've put a down on an adorable
Green Country Cottage!

Darling wood shake roof... white trim

Hunter green shutters and flower boxes!

And a Hunter Green Front Door!

Charming interior...

light wood floors, baseboard trim, 

Large windows making it light & Bright!

Sweet decorative staircase to the second story!

Beautifully wallpapered throughout

It's used so it will require some repairs

but they appear to be minor...

I'll Meet up with the owner on Tuesday to close on this Charmer..

About a year or so ago I sold the Dollhouse I had...

the grands got older didn't play with it much and it was

pretty large taking up way too much space..

So I sold it!

 I've been on the hunt to find a small Cottage..

I picked up this "New Construction" 

On Facebook Marketplace

Yes, it's small like I want but not much more I 

can say about it....Walls are thin not very sturdy 

and I really didn't know where or how to begin

on the New Build!

 I'm very excited to have found a Dollhouse that I think will work

out perfectly in the space I have..

I promise to share an update when it comes home with me!

Thanks for Stopping By

Diane

Its Summertime in California!

We live North of Los Angeles

closer to the Pacific Ocean and we have

had many a foggy mornings....

but by around noon the sun is Out!

I'm pretty fair skinned so I don't do much sunbathing

and if I do venture to the coast a hat is a good thing to have.

The other day I stopped into this great little 

Thrift Shop and I picked myself up this darling hat.

The brim is unusual you can actually tweak it

and shape it! Cute?

Mornings on the weekend I'm enjoying

a cup of coffee and good read out on the Patio

I just love all the blooming flowers 

in the Garden

I'm filling up vases

all over the house!

And of course I'm still out there doing 

some treasure hunting

Jadeite Vase to add to my collection!

And the Fourth of July with 

Family, Friends and Food!

Not your typical July BBQ

Hubby decided to do slow cook pork roast,

homemade beans and rice and all the fixings!

I hope your all having a wonderful Summer

making sure to enjoy the warmer longer days.

Stay Safe my friends oxox

Let's Welcome Spring & Easter Crafty Goodness

This grouping of Vintage Easter sits on my Dining Room Table

I love the old wax cottage cheese containers...

They were rinsed and saved by our mothers and used for Easter Baskets

Opps... looks like I've just dated myself!

The sweet Bunny Party Toppers I bought from a favorite seller on Etsy TinselandTrinkets

a few years back... originally to craft with but as you can see

I just haven't been able to remove them from their original packaging

Most of the Easter Treasures I have are ones that really make me feel good

you know they make me smile when I un-wrap them..

So if a certain item just doesn't do that for me then it's time to go!

I have two tubs of Easter Decor and this year I'm limiting it down to one!

Now of course that doesn't count the tub I have overflowing with

crafty stuff... 

I'm gonna thin it down a bit.. and of course use some of the goodies

to create Easter Items for my Etsy Shop and gifts for

Family and friends...

This Banner was fun to make I have such a large Collection of
Vintage greeting Cards for all Occasions and I just love
incorporating them in my Creations!

And then another favorite thing I like to do is take
the lost and forgotten Storybook Dolls that are a bit 
muddled and unkept..

And clean them up & add a bit of SUGARINESS

And offer them for Sale in My Etsy Shop
 one by one they find a "NEW" home.

Its' Saturday and I have plans to visit a couple of new to me Antique Stores

and maybe just maybe stop into Michaels Crafts.

Hope your having a wonderful beginning of Spring!
