books and bottles...

This week's whites include
what I've been working on
 for the barn sale and for the shop


I have had a stash of bottles and books
for 
a long time.
a.really.long.time


waiting for me 
to get up enough gumption 
to try






once I got started I had a lot of fun
and
didn't want to stop


I love working with all of these elements:
lace, pearls, roses, photos, and then some more lace.


The best part?


I had all of it...didn't buy a thing!


only 17 more working days


I'd better get back to it.

  54. Dear Rene, just stopping by for another look at your beautiful whites.....

    I do hope you will be able to stop by for the Wedding Blog Party and giveaway on Friday! And you had mentioned that you might need to use last years pics ~ that would be just perfectly fine, I'm sure there will be many newcomers and the others would always enjoy your gorgeous photos again anyway!!

  59. You'll have to put a bucket near entrance of your booth to catch the drool of onlookers. So gross I know and in extreme contrast to your beautiful work...but true. So gorgeous it makes my jaw drop from here!
