Happy New Year

Hi All! 
Wow was the holiday season busy. I apologize for neglecting my blog. Look for changes in 2011. I'm going to be leaving Contagious and selling occasionally from home but will have most everything on my blog eventually. Look for more news the beginning of February. Contagious was very successful for me but I am a grandma of 2 now with another due to arrive in May and I want to scale back to have plenty of time for family, friends, and my church. Here's some new Valentine inspired creations to enjoy now available at Contagious till the end of the month. Thanks for the support!

An Old Flower in bloom...

I found this vintage flower in Los Angeles. It's perfectly old and available to go to a good home at Contagious in downtown Mesa. Enjoy!

The shopping Cart....

I found this old metal cart for $2 at a church yard sale. I made a liner with a piece of vintage fabric, used trim and finished off with a chenille tag. Perfect for shopping the flea market (at least if you shop like me!)

The bedroom makeover

Hi All! The bedroom continues its metamorphosis's! I made these new shades for my bedside lamps out of burlap. My newest obsession. I even love the way it smells! Yikes (tmi) Of course my husband thought the old shades were fine. He was so wrong. I also got a new duvet and shams from Le Target'; they are Rachel Ashwell. I stenciled a scroll design in black then added some rosettes on the king shams. I'm going to eventually add some jewels and buttons too!

Just dreamed up!

Fall greetings!
I just discovered the store in the old Domestic Bliss location called Found. Such a great home decor (& etc.) store full of reclaimed objects, new furniture, and great bedding. Thanks to found I'm going to re-do my bedroom. I'm adding lots of vintage inspired linen fabric and a few vintage baubles.  My newest obsession is burlap, linen and cheesecloth type textiles. I was so inspired by Found I made some new designs for my jewelry. These cuffs are just a couple examples. So fun to make new stuff! Also always making lots of my vintage necklaces and hair treats!
