Blushing bride

The background and the frame which is from this apothecary label are both from Graphics Fairy. This is my entry for the wedding challenge over at Take a Word and also linking to Brag Monday. Hope you have a great Monday!

Friday freebie - vintage crockery recipe cards

If you're like me - always collecting recipes, have these handy in the kitchen or in your bag, so next time you have to write down that special recipe you can write it on a card instead of scribbling it on any old piece of paper. I love these bowls and dishes, they are from a vintage advertisement, click here for the pdf. Enjoy!!!

Roaring Twenties

I really like the boyish look of the 1920's, although there was not a  lot of emphasis on body shape it had it's own kind of charm. The waistline if any, was located somewhere around the hips. The confining corset was discarded, replaced by a chemise or camisole and bloomers which was later shortened to panties or knickers and during the mid-twenties all-in-one lingerie became popular. My favourite - the short hairstyles such as the Bob cut, Eton Crop and the Marcel Wave became popular. Thanks for taking the time to visit - my entry for the 1920's challenge at Three Muses.

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!
