Natural Light, Mason Jars and Trims::

Clearing the sea shell theme and making some room for Fall around my home. I love all the natural light shinning through the windows. I used mason jars I had on hand and just added some vintage trims. The glue gun comes in handy if you like your look otherwise, twist or tie to secure. You can mix and match, add and subtract. Have fun that's what it's all about. Working on this project for Stampington.. let's see how far I get. Or, how carried away.. ;)

                                                    Have a fun week everyone,

Tea Stained::

It's Monday, happy Monday!

Here's some lace I picked up yesterday at the flea.

Tattered, worn and ever so tea stained in color.

Do you like yours light or sweet?

Maybe, both

Have a wonderful week :)

Lace Is On My Mind::

Some, lace I purchased over the weekend in Saugerties. I was informed by my Hubby that the scissors are hair cutting scissors. I thought so too. Just incase you're a bit confused by the vignette. Hey, scissors are scissors. Right? I can't get enough of sewing notions these days. If you are on Pinterest one of my pin boards Lace and Doilies includes lace. Look me up if you're a member. Maybe, in my next life I'll sew. Now, that's funny.

It stopped snowing here and this am. I have a delay. Yay! I guess I'll go pin some more. Have a great day.

The Reveal::

                    I finished the lamp shade yesterday evening, during the Super Bowl. Two things, I discovered while doing this project. One, a drum like shade would have been easier. Maybe, I wanted that spacing effect more than gathered? You know what I mean? That's fine.. I used what I had on hand. Laura, from 52 Flea told me she has made several of these lamp shades before. She used charms to embellish her shades. That sounded cool too. So, many possibilities here. Also, rather than covering the paper brim of the top and bottom of the shade. I left it naked with the paper showing it's age.
                 So, if you have a naked lamp cage and some lace lying around. Make one! It took me about thirty minutes or so. More time wasted picking out lace and trim. That was the fun part. Let me know if you decide to make one. I would love to see it.
               Anyway, it's Monday. The start of a new week.
               Make it a good one :)

Lamp Shade DIY::

      It's  time to work on that vintage regency lamp. A  purchase that was made weeks ago thrifting. You know.. I brought it home with the dome? At the time, I was more excited about the dome. Now, I need a shade for this beauty of a lamp. Here's a sneak peek of this no sew project. My inspiration came a calling from Pinterest. I like to give credit where credit is do. I'm not sure if I'm happy with the beginnings. Help! What do you think? Should I continue? Try different patterns of lace? I'm stuck. So, for now I'll sit and stare at it. Ha, Ha. Till, I hear what the consensus is. Thanks guys ;)
                           Make it a great Sunday Folks!
