~ an altered art party fairytale ~

...once upon a time

(bloom stained art tags)

there was a girl, who liked to play with pretty supplies...

very whimsical things

~ such as old rusty keys

and luscious hand dyed silk ribbons...

(sweet dreams - victorian grunge silk necklace)

and other shiny objects that just so happened to catch her eye...

(Elegant Whimsy - a vintage silverware chandelier windchime)

now...being a gypsy fairy girl at heart  

she would always see things just a little different

...a little odd

odd (od), adj.

differing in nature from what is ordinary, usual, or expected... 

she took delight in various materials

manipulating them to please her unique heart

(wee willy winkie - vintage fairytale paper book art)

and with the wave of her magic wand

 always tried to present them as a gift ~ 

for

in her mind's eye,

they were...

 gifts from her hands,

and 

a gift from her heart!

her designs were born out of a desire for simple elegance in her everyday life

and in her eyes ~

even the most humblest of materials

could surely be made into something lovely...

(Lovely Candle Corset)

she was definately a seeker of the unusual  

and was always  

 s-p-r-e-a-d-i-n-g 

her wings outside of ordinary boundries

 (Butterfly Goddess Romance Choker)

...always reaching for that little somethin` somethin` extra  

to amaze and delight

(swan lake - delightful shortbread cookies)

the complete visual was important to her...

as her muse was always beckoning her  

to display and package all of her pretties

with as much creativeness

as she could possibly imagine...

(rose - a paper doll muse)

as she continues on this creative quest ~ 

and making such pretties as these

she is always on the lookout for inspiration

(doorway to the theatre of dreams)

as it can be found in the most unlikely,

off-the-beaten path places...

and her wish for you  

dear one,  

is that you may also find YOUR bliss

...whatever  

and

wherever that may be

(make a wish - a most whimsical horse shoe)

because in doing so ~

(A French Country Farmhouse - paper doll)

you are on your way to writing your very own fairytale!!
