It's Still February! No It's Not!!

Hello Friends!

Sooo, did March come in like a lion or a lamb where you live?
It came in like a lion here in San Diego.
Rain!
Wind!
Temperatures in the 50s!
Actually, that's kind of fun for us :)
My best wishes for you all dealing with
the crazy cold and snowy winter this year!

I had wanted to get this post out while it was still February,
as I still have a few pretty Valentine pics to share.

The fabulous Vignettes hosted a wonderful event
for Valentine's Day,  
Fifty Shades of Pink!

Vintage Valentine boxes:







Look at this altered book!


Pretty pink dresses:



Fabulous bling:



Look at the fabulous bodice on this dress,
created from vintage rhinestone jewelry!



I would love to have this Eiffel Tower
(it lights up!).

Because this shop is literally a few blocks from the ocean,
they incorporate sea treasures in many of their creations:



Yep.  Jaw-droppingly gorgeous!

For our Valentine's Day, we took naps and stayed up late to watch
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Not exactly a rom com date movie.
But so good!

The next night we went to the Hard Rock hotel
to babysit our adorable grandson
while his Mom and Dad went out for date night.
 They made a cute Valentine for me,
which I can't find right now,
and brought us gold-dusted macarons from a fancy OC bakery:


Next time I'll have some new creations to share with you!

And freebies...
I wish you cloudless skies and happy hours:

Bridal Shower! March Card and Tag Swap!

Hello Friends!
The themes for the Swap for All Seasons swap in March
were Spring and yellow.



I don't use yellow much in my crafting, but I love this image
that has just a splash of yellow.
I love the spring-y background and her wistful look.
I wanted to keep the card simple
and let the lovely lady be the star.
A bit of vintage lace and vintage millinery flowers:



And my tag:


They say April showers bring May flowers...

I was hoping the showers would wait until my shower was held...
I hosted a bridal shower at my home
for my daughter's lovely sister-in-law last week. 
The sun was in and out but no rain!
The décor was organic, garden-y,
with a bit of herbs, yellow, burlap and chalkboard.  :)
 Her sister and sister-in-law were the real hostesses,
I  did the décor
with a little help from the bubble girls
(flower girls who blow bubbles).
 
Nine year old Ainsley made the favors herself,
homemade bath salts (below).
Don't they look great?

I love how these champagne glasses look
lined up on the burlap ribbon:

One of the hostesses made these lovely little tags
with a different herb for each one
and the trait that the herb stands for (above).

The caterer made a beautiful table of delicious food:

I had fun making this photo op
with a French garden shop look :)


OK.  Now I'm ready for April showers!
We dearly need them in Southern California.

Some sunny freebies for you:
