~ Simply Sassy~

Hello  Friends!

I Love this Image from Paper Whimsy!

Doesn't She Look Like 

a Little Miss Sassy!

Her Eyes are Quite Beautiful 

and that Cherub Face!

I am Sure she 

Melted her Daddy's Heart 

and had him 

Wrapped Around Her Little Finger!

She was Made with Different 

Printed Papers I Have Collected 

and then glued to a 

chipboard Tag as a Base.

I Embellished her with an 

Old Watch Face and a Vintage Jewelry Find.

Mother of Pearl Buttons of Coarse,

Seam Binding Ribbon,

& Butterflies!

I Think I got Carried away with the Butterflies!

She will Be going to a Dear Friend!

I Hope she Enjoys Her as Much as I Enjoyed Making her!

~Studio Inspiration~

 I Love the Garden Feel of this Studio.

This Studio is out of a Country Living Magazine . 

Isn't Her Work Lovely! I Love that she Surrounds herself 

with her own work for Inspiration.

 

I Love the Vintage  Boxes and the Labeling.

The Idea of a Caddy Like this is so Clever! 

You can take it and go any where!

This Butlers Pantry is Great!
I Love combining your supplies into your Display!

I am sure that Luggage Tags
are something you have all seen before!  I Found these in the Dollar bins
at our Local Michaels.
That is where I got the Luggage Boxes.
( 50% off! I Love Sales!)

This is a Little thing I came up with after Perusing the Local Thrift Stores. I kept seeing these Lovely Silver Pedestals for Chafing Dishes. They were Lonely Petunias with no Chafing Dishes to be seen. I am always Thinking Hmmmm... What Can I Make with this.

 

Well then I came across this Silver Relish tray with the Glass still in tact. Don't worry it wasn't the Prized Family Silver 

just an Inexpensive Silver Type Relish Tray ! Lol!

 

The How-to of it is really Easy! Just flipped the Tray over,

Center the Pedestal and used some 

E-6000 Glue to adhere the Pedestal to  the Tray.

Let Glue have time to set. 

Thats It! Easy Peasey!

Elevating my Collection of Bling gave me

more Space in my Tiny Little Studio. 

I Find Inspiration in seeing what I have to Work with.! 

This was another Thrift Store Find!

~*~

Hope you enjoyed some of my Studio Storage Display Ideas!
