The fox and the hound

A collage of some of my favourite things, I find it difficult to express in words my love for owls - aren't they just the most wonderful creatures. Lately I am fascinated with foxes, and don't get me started on my forever love for roses and shades of green and pink and vintage labels, postcards, birdcages . . . you get the picture :)

Vain as a peacock

My entry for the Take a Word peacock challenge, the peacock fan are from the Graphics Fairy - linking to Brag Monday.

Summer blue

Winter is upon us, but today was such a beautiful almost summer day and it made me think of wearing a pretty summer dress and going for a stroll along the beach with an ice cream in hand. Not at all what I did, but I should have!

American Girl

I had lots of fun designing a faux magazine cover for my entry for the stars and stripes challenge at Take a Word this week, the girl is from a vintage gum advertisement and she was dressed in pink - I used a vintage flag to dress her up for the occasion. I've used this lovely antique background from the Graphics Fairy so many times, it is so beautiful with all the scrolls and flourishes - linking to Brag Monday and many thanks to my favourite fairy in the whole wide world. Happy fourth of July to all my friends in the US!

Victorian elegance

Three elegant Victorian ladies as my entry for Three Muses Victorian elegance challenge. I have to say - I don't know how you sit down wearing one of these, but they sure are beautiful, love the fabric!!!

Puzzled pears

Don't worry, I am also puzzled about  this design ;-) My entry for the puzzle piece challenge at Theme Thursday.

Violet - green

When in doubt, use green - that's my motto! . . .and then combine it with purple ;-)  I googled "violet-green" this morning and discovered that it is the name of a beautiful small North American swallow, had I known this last night that little swallow would have been sitting right there on the frame. I am entering this for Theme Thursday's challenge this week - the colour green.
