...a fairytale boho romance

 
 
...hello dear ones!
 
i can hardly believe how this summer is just

by!!!
 
~ and like most of you,
it has been filled with happy summer living.
 
~ whew ~
 
is it vacation time yet?!
 
hahahahhaha!!
 
well, in the midst of all that happy summertime living:)
i have tried to make some creative magic time ~
 
 i have been inspired this summer by the
"elegant boho" style
as i like to call it.
 
 
 
here's a glimpse into my interpretation...
 
 
 
 
some of you may recognize these two photo's from one of my past posts
 
a few of my customer's had inquired
 about the elegant walking stick/flower basket
i used in those pics
and had been unsuccessful of finding them.
 
so, you know me ~
i just had to create a few!
 
 
 
 
inspired by my original vintage one,
these romantic sticks are a close duplicate
 

 
 
white washed willow
a lovely flower bouquet...
 
 
 
 
a french dotted swiss bow
silky tassel
and a vintage crochet doily...
 
 
 
 
i call it the queen anne's lace,
elegant walking stick flower basket!
 
i have an inspired list a mile long of pretties i'd like to create
 ~ these were next on my list
 
 
 
 
sooooo lovely are these giant dream catchers!
perhaps,
subconsciously,
i was trying to catch a rather large dream myself!!
lol!!
 
i will let you know if that dream comes true:)
 
 
 
 
regardless,
i envision a flower girl carrying these down the aisle
or a few dangling in a tree for instant boho glam!
 
 
 
~sigh~
like a fairytale...
 
 
oh!
and these lovely mermaiden's delightful shells!!!
 
 
i envision these as ring holders.
 
heart shaped crochet lace
dusted with shimmering pearl power,
has been attached to the bottom...
 
 
 
 
and i have used silver german style wire to delicately wrap on
freshwater pearls along the edge...
 
it looks like the shell is wearing a crown!
 
 
 
 
ribbon cut from a vintage wedding gown
are used to tie in that "something old"
for those romantic mermaids at heart.
 
 
 
 
 
and as i have already found my handsome mere-man
(my bad?? i just couldn't resist!)
 
i use my romantic shell tied around a candle
it gives off such a romantic sea glow
 for those summer candlelight dinners...
 



i LOVE creating pretties!!
 
and thank you for allowing me to share my excitement with all of you:)
 
 
i have so many other things to share with you
from my mermaid bedroom make over
to a sea swan inspiration photo shoot...
 
i hope you come back every now and then
 to see what is new in the land of odds...
 
 
until then ~
continued happy summer!!
