Easter Mantle

I love Beatrix Potter stories,especially Peter Rabbit

Playful bunnies and birdie resting in her basket on her eggs

I found the momma and big brother bunnie today at Vinnies

for $1.50 the pair. Love them. They go beautifully with my

other baby bunnies.

Organizing with tags and labels in the sewing room

I am continuing to organize my  sewing room

I printed off some gorgeous little cards that were kindly

posted  for everyone to use by

 Astrid Maclean at the website below

I glued them onto some card and cut them out

I think they are so pretty

I wrapped my heirloom cotton laces around them

Kerryanne from Shabby Art Boutique

posted some labels for our use too

aren't they pretty

I printed them off too

Elizabeth from The Porcelain Rose

Makes the most gorgeously pretty tags

I used them to label the storage boxes

I covered this ugly brown box with rose patterned paper

 I glued on one of The Porcelain  Roses cards (that Elizabeth 

kindly included in my order as a gift)

 and some lace 

and buttons, added a few hearts

                                                            another pretty storage box

Labels for the magazine holders,also from The Porcelain Rose

They are actually tags,but I just turned them sideways and 

tied the little string into a bow.

Now I think all the sewing room clean up is just about complete.

Maybe just a bit of tweaking in the wardrobes. where I hang all the Christening Gowns.

I will be visiting the linky parties on my side bar this week

I am going to enjoy this lovely weather we are finally getting in the mid 20's celcius Yehhhh.

Love being cool.:)

Sewing Room tidy up continued

Yesterday I started cleaning and sorting the sewing room

I did the mantle/fireplace as in my last post. 

Today I got really inspired to do some more in there.

These are quilts in progress

The night and day couch

Nice and comfy to sit and embroider with a welcome cuppa

and sometimes a quick

afternoon nap

The dressing table was a kerb side find

which I totally redid. I posted about it previously

The lace is a vintage bridal train

I so love pearls and lace

The little cluster of pearls on top of the candle stick

is actually a pretty brooch.

I scored it today at Vinnies for $2.20

I love my curtain tie backs. Nothing wrong 

with a bit of bling

even here.

My old kitchen hutch re purposed for the sewing room

Useful shelving and storage 

this is where I sew

I hung the vintage lace curtains to hide the modern

office stuff.

I really must get to covering the magazine holders

and some nice shabby labeling.

All this tidying and I'm ready for a nice cup of tea and a biscuit'

Won't you join me.

English Breakfast or Green, I think the Green for me 

I'm visiting my usual linky parties this week

The links are on my side bar.

Looking forward to some nice cool weather

I am so over Summer this year

Another hot week coming up and it's Autumn

I usually love Autumn but not at 37celcius.

Sewing Room Mantle redo

I cleared everything off my mantle in the sewing room

ready for a good clean and new look

The first items I added was the mirror and candlestick with cherub

Not sure if that will stay there though

Hung up my dream catcher

A row of blingy sparkly beads on wire

Added the three flower pots,I recently painted and decorated

Moved the candlestick and cherub to the other side

and the little lantern with my tiny birdie inside

A little feather,a few roses and cherubs

A string of pearls

One of my Christening gowns on one side

And one on the other

Sugar Britches baby doll I made and dressed in lace

A few lacy cushions in the fireplace

And almost done, hmm don't like the candles in the flower pots

I think I am happy with that for now.

Tomorrow,the rest of the room

I hope you are having a nice week

I'm trying to stay inside out of the heat,

a good time to turn everything about.

Join me at the lovely linky parties 

Links on my side bar.
