Something new, something borrowed, ….something blue. (And something Pink, something showy, and a little Beauty too!)
I just finished A Swap For All Season's swap for June or summer. Hopefully by the time I post this my partner will have received my package! I found the cutest little frame and altered it. It actually is a pencil holder…
that opens into a double frame. Open…
closed.
After this picture I decided to embellish a bit more with some vintage velvet millinery flowers. And add her name.
I love printing on transparencies and found that if you reverse your image before printing the ink is on the inside – less chance of smearing. Since that worked so well I swiped an image off her blog of my partner and her sister. Here it is as an overlay on a canvas I did. I think I'll do some more of these for Paper Cowgirl.
Have you seen these before? A little Mary E inspired fried egg flower made from a 45 record. You DO know what a 45 is don't you????? No? Well, back in the old days….haha – nevermind. Go ask your great grandmother!
Since this post is also for Friday Finding Beauty here's something that really is beautiful. Have you ever seen a Margaret Furlong seashell angel. They are made of bisque porcelain. A friend of mine collected them and had a whole Christmas tree done with them – it was stunning. This one however was heading for Tennessee.
I don't want to keep the wedding party waiting…. 
they are anxious to hop in the box and be on their way.
So that's it for me for three, count them, three blog parties. I don't normally do one post for all three but I'm behind on my three swaps for Paper Cowgirl.
Be sure and visit:
Claudia at Dipity Road for Friday Finding Beauty,
Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday , and of course…
Beverly at How Sweet The Sound who hosts Pink Saturday.

Hi Nancy, Your FFB is just charming. I have seen those pencil holders with no imagination what so ever. Look at yours wow. I think there is a "sisters" theme going on in blog land today. I posted about sisters.
ReplyDeleteI used to buy 45 records every Sat. with my allowance. I paid $1.00/record. Mostly Beatles then lol
Never saw a fried egg flower. CUTE. Never seen a seashell angel either. Lot's of "not seen this before" today lol
The bridesmaids...priceless! Lucky Sharon.
I love it all Nancy.
Have a great weekend
