PRETTY BOOK COVERS......

Full Of Shabby Chic Charm......

1930s Vintage Wallpaper......



Retro Union Jack......



Very Jane Austen......

Vintage Roses And Burlap......

 I love vintage books with a passion and my current favorites can be found HERE.  Inspired by these beautiful covers I have designed some of my own to use when decorating some of my more mundane paperbacks.

These book covers add a certain charm to tired old books and I cannot wait to begin dressing up my old library of books.  These take me back to my school days in England when we had to cover our school books with brown paper and put our name on the front.  These would look so much prettier!

I hope that you love them as much as I do.  I know that this is not a new idea but I wanted to put a different spin on an old tradition, have fun!

SPLISH SPLASH MERMAID.....

My very latest design has been created using one of my all time favourite vintage postcards.  This wonderful postcard has been part of my collection for a very long time and I truly love the expression in her eyes.  Now I will say that this face and eyes have been completely remastered by me before I even began my newest design.

Many times I will begin a design and it just does not have enough going for it to make the cut.  I am really fussy about the completed image and often these will be put away until inspiration strikes.  That was not the case with this latest creation, Sparkling Eyes as I have always called her just seemed to flow and these are my very favourite designs of all.

I truly hope that you love this latest creation of mine and you can find her and others by visiting YOUR CRAFT EPHEMERA and by clicking HERE.

BEAUTIFUL GIFT FROM A WONDERFUL LADY......

I have been so blessed since I began this blog and I have had the pleasure of getting to know some wonderful artists and bloggers.  This time I was lucky enough to get to know the wonderful PAT WINTER a very taltented crazy quilter!

The stunning bag that you see in these photographs arrived at my home on Saturday as a gift from Pat.  How can I possibly put into words how beautiful her gift to me is and how much I appreciate it.  The bag is so exquisite and full of beautiful details.  I have tried to show some of them with the following photo's......

The photographs do not do justice to this bag and how much more beautiful it is in person.  I have now been blessed twice from my new blogging friends and I am in awe of their  generosity.  PAT WINTERS and CELESTINA MARIE are truly generous of heart and spirit!

This beautiful bag is now on pround display in my home, it is  like a piece of art.  I hope to use it when I go out to somewhere very special.

Thank you so much Pat for your wonderful gift to me, I will treasure it always and remember your generous heart!

DID ANYONE SAY DOG......

This postcard is a favorite from my personal collection and  the dogs face is priceless.  I believe the dog is a poodle but it could be something else entirely.  To me the dog has a look of "Okay enough, can I go now" and the little girl is so sweet.

I have included a high resolution of this image for you to use in your creations.  I only ask that you do not sell it as a digital image or on a digital collage sheet. This image has been restored and repaired by me but anything else is fine.  I would love to see some of your creations from this image and showcase them on my blog.

Anway enjoy this special postcard and have fun......
