...french flower basket OR elegant walking stick!

...hello dear readers!

WOW!!

It has been a lickety split fast week!!

~ and yes,

I'm still cleaning and weeding out my studio.

but,

 I did manage to give my french flower market basket a little make over:)

Seems as though everything I touch these days,

 is being converted into creamy white shades of loveliness...

~ a fabulous spray of pretty white roses for the basket

and then a sumptuous bow adorns the front!

bow is made out of soft vintage netting

(NOT that itchy scratchy stuff they have on the market today I tell ya'!)

then a silk tassel, and a picot edged satin bow

with a vintage pearl and rhinestone earring in the center!

sheeze,

 seems as though I've been using those vintage earrings alot lately

...lampshades, flowers, bakets and bows!!

I had better be on the hunt for more ~ LOL!!

  

I love how this basket has a handle, it's like an elegant walking stick,

wouldn't you agree?

not that you probably wish to see my studio table...

but this is what it looks like at the moment!

there are four sides to a table ~ no?!

well,

let me tell you,

for each side of this table,

there are also four different creative endeavors going on!!

I know, I know,

 no rest for the wicked...

or is it weary??

 I can never remember!

~ and I certainly TRY not to be wicked ~ LOL!!

I just know my brain never stops,

 even long after my hands and eyes do!!

   

yes, that is my tasty imbibement sitting there

with colored lip gloss all over the rim

(remember : pretty is, as pretty does!!)

I usually drink seltzer water with a lemon circle

but today,

I felt like having an "Arnold Palmer"

(a mix of lemonade and ice tea)

hhhmmmm...

it also appears that I've been having a few interesting fizzy lifty drinks this week!!

  

pretties in the making!

I've also got my sights set on this next:

  

a  wicker chaise re-slipcover make over...

and with sooooooo many inspiring places to visit in blog land

I'm sure I'll come up with nothing short of ALOT of lovely ideas!!
