Giveaway Winner
Good morning! Hope you had a great weekend - for some of you it was a very long, holiday weekend - hope you all had fun. So here's a great way to start the week - we have giveaway winners! Yay! The winners of last week's Great Big Sparkly Giveaway are Mamaslittlebabies and BJ Lantz. So congratulations ladies - email me and I'll get your goodies out to you asap! Loved reading all the comments! Thanks for entering - next giveaway will be in the New Year for our brand new french line!
Inspiration
Step into this world. The beautiful and curious world of Bisy Backson's House of Treasures on flickr. Every image is so intriguing - I'd like to climb right in and stay a while. Enjoy . . . .



Treasures
These are my kind of antiques - utilitarian and rustic with just a few fabulous euro details. Wish I could visit this store one day - but for now there is a wonderful and enormous selection of treasures to browse through on their web site.

Project
Once again there's a great little crafty project over at Once Wed. This time it's a fabric flower garland that looks so sweet - and simple to make. You could even put it on your christmas tree! I love this.

Inspiration
Pretty little festive pics from Camille Soulayrol. I love this first image with the burlap wrapped mirror that's decorated with flowers and birds and sprigs. This is such a great idea because you could change it for every season - or just pin your favourite treasures to it and let it evolve into a fascinating, personalized work of art(come to think of it, I luv that idea - this could be a weekend project for me.)

This olive sprig heart is fabulous too, isn't it. I'm going to try this.
Found
Aren't these vessels great I love their shape and their decoration. Very inspiring! From Cynthia Vardhans - there are some wonderful, pretty, yet practical, items at this talented gal's shop.



Vintage
Here are some fun vintage pieces from 5 Gardenias. I'd like to go shopping with this gal - she has a good eye - I always find things I like at her shop!

Blog Crush
I have a new blog crush her name is Dottie Angel. I adore this blog and can't wait to have more time to read through it. Crafty Brit with supreme sense of wit - you too will love her - go right now . . . . . . .


Inspiration
I ran across this collection of favourites yesterday on Flickr. These are the favourites of Hey Zee! - absolutely soothing and sumptuous - she has such a good eye. I think you will love her choices . . . enjoy . . . . .


Ephemera
I think you all have very good taste and I think you will appreciate this amazing map. The graphics are incredible. Printed in 1860, the colours couldn't be any brighter. Just a little bit of inspiration for my crafty friends.
