Red and White Toile Charm Necklace

February 18, 2011

As anyone who reads my blog knows, I've had toile (pronounced "twall") on the brain lately.  So much so that I even incorporated some toile fabric into one of my vintage treasures.


Can you see the fair maid?  She and so many like her can be seen in toile today just like in the toile of times past.  That's one of the things I love about toile ~ it's timeless.

I loved adding vintage rhinestones to the pendant.  Just a little bit unexpected, don't you think?  The companion cascading rhinestones come straight from another vintage necklace.




And don't think the fair maiden is alone.......I added a companion on the other side of the pendant just for her.  Oh, and more of those vintage rhinestones, of course.

Isn't he sweet?  I wish you could see the detail, he's playing the flute without a care in the world.

Hope you'll all join me for my
right here on
 March 2nd
Grab a button and spread the word!
 Who knows what else I'll manage to do with toile by then?

Have a wonderful weekend.

I'll be linking up here:











I' m a Copycat, What Are You?

February 16, 2011


Today I wanted to share with you a cool, crafty site that's dedicated to the "Wanna-be's" of the world.  It's called  Copycat Crafts.  I was honored that they featured one of MY copycat crafts ~ the Ballard Designs gilded chalkboard.  {You might remember my post about it.} You can find their feature of it
here.

They spotlight Anthropologie, Pottery Barn, Ballard Designs, West Elm, Marimekko and Land of Nod Knock-offs.  See how to make it yourself for less!  I mean, really, what a great resource for those crafty souls out there who could really go to town on some of these featured tutorials.  Just a glimpse.......




DIY Pottery Barn surfboard chalkboards ~  I kid you not, my almost-12-year-old daughter would kill for one of these in her room!

Land of Nod-inspired floor cushions.  So pretty!  I really wish I had found this site when my kids were still little because I love Land of  Nod to pieces!

Okay, so I think you've got the picture.  It's a great place to visit for inspiration ~ I'm headed over there right now to find out about that PB-inspired teen surfboard......

Oh, and how could I forget to mention my upcoming
Do You Toile? Party!
Grab a button from my sidebar {code included, that's how much I love ya} and spread the word! 


Then come join the Party here on March 2nd!
I can't WAIT to see what some of you Toile Nuts are cooking up for the party!

Hope you're having a great week!
