DIY VINTAGE HEARTS

Hello, Hello, Hello!!!

Wow: It has been a long time since I've written a blog post.  The holidays are over and it's a new year so I thought it was time to revisit this abandoned bit of internet space and reconnect with my friends.  I hate that I lost touch with you all.  

Last year was a crazy year - I'm sure you all will agree and I'm hoping to return to some normalcy this year if possible thus - a return to writing and sharing all things vintage, crafty and fun.  

So, today I thought I would start with a really easy, fun, and cute little vintage heart that you can use for your tiered trays, holiday trees, baskets, or just sit on your shelves for some cuteness. 

These are easy to do and you can have a whole basket of them done in no time - and... the best part is you can use things you probably have lying around the house.

DIY Beach House Sign

It's a beautiful morning and I am sitting on the back porch enjoying the sun and breezes we get here.  I love that I can sit out here and work to the sound of the birds, the waterfall and the chimes - such sweet music to work with - if we could just have it year round. Ahh, yes...
Today, I thought I would share the Beach House sign I made for our Spring/Summer mantel with you.  I am all about keeping things as simple as I can so I used Chalk Couture's chalk paste and transfer to make a sign that would I would be able to use through both seasons.

Summer Mantel

Summer has officially found its way to the beach. Sunny blue skies, ocean breezes, and hot, hot temps.  That means it's time for me to change our Spring mantel to a Summer mantel.  I love changing my decor but, I want it to be as easy and quick as I can make it. So, switching the Spring mantel over just took a couple of changes and it was done in less than 30 minutes. This is how it looks for summer.

Club Couture Subscription

If you have been following me for a while you have noticed how I have become completely obsessed with Chalk Couture's transfers, chalk paste, and couture inks.  I mean TOTALLY in love with this new quick and easy way to craft beautiful home decor and crafts.  And, by easy, I'm saying in just minutes you can have a finished project done and ready to display or give away.  So, when Chalk Couture announced it's new monthly subscription box I knew I had to share it with you all.

Valentine Mantel

It's hard to believe but, Valentine's Day is next week - where has this new year flown to already.  I know we have had a very busy beginning and am hoping it slows down a bit so I can do more sharing here.  But, for today I thought I would share our Valentine mantel with you all.
