~ Beautiful Millinery ~


(All photography by me)
Hi friends
I recently found this beautiful pastel millinery garland on etsy. It was originally on a really odd looking vintage hat so I removed all the millinery flowers and got rid of the hat. I love how beautiful they are.Perfect for my photos and inspirations.

My favourite colour palette....

I found these beautiful florentine frames at TJ Maxx for only $4.99 each.
They are perfect photos of my sons.
Love my boys....

Have a wonderful day and thanks for visiting!!

~ A new find ~ Have a wonderful weekend! ~


(All photography by me)

A recent vintage find..a very shabby and large old rhinestone pin...love it on my inspiration board.
Have you noticed how "in" old pins and brooches are right now? Ive seen a few fashion segments recently and they are clustering them on jackets..purses etc. You can find them at thriftshops for only a few dollars a piece.

( my boys )
Have a wonderful holiday weekend everyone!!
We are enjoying family time at the beach this weekend.....what are your plans?
