...my ship has come in!

...hello dear readers!

well,

my ship has finally come in!

~ lol ~

but seriously,

what do you think of her??

 

 

you may remember this "before" shot

i took of her when she first arrived

 

 

uhem,

blah!

you must be joking...

i was NOT going to set sail to the future

 in something that looked like that

yah, no!

give me everyday romance

or

give me death!

whoa!

dramatic much?!

* i blame it on johnny

* ie. jack sparrow

 

anyhoo,

 for months,

(hey, i'm a busy girl!)

i've been working on transforming her into a romantic vision

that i'd be delighted to set off in

seeking a new adventure...

  

 

her sails are completely made out of silk

as,

this is my dream ship :)

this sail has been printed with "toile de sea"

i adore the whimsy that it brings

and if i were ever stranded on a deserted island,

it would make for a lovely dress to wear,

for when i was rescued,

i'd want to look my best

don't ya' think?!

(NOT bringing it to me, just being prepared!!)

   

 

the larger sail is made out of silk crepe

and full of ruffles!!

love it!

 

  

 

and a sea horse is always nearby

to ride for a day of splunkin'

sound fun?!

    

 

 

and my deck?

why ~

crushed pearlized shells of course!!

 

...and even the driftwood would be covered in lace and sparkly rhinestones!

beause many of you know my feeling about lace...

and yes,

at first i thought i may paint my ship out in white

but

i really liked how the lace looked on the wood

so

i covered my ship in lace instead...

  

 oh yeah, baby!!

from the top...

  

 

to the bottom!

  

and just in case you missed it 

here it is again:

~ before ~

and 

~ after ~

 

which one would you embark a journey on ~

hhhmmmm??!

now,

as for my destination?

well ~ that's a whole other story!!

i wonder if johnny/jack would loan me his compass?!
