in Ocean Beach, San Diego.

 

Everything there is such a yummy treat for the eyes!!

Baby! Vintage Marketplace! Altered Peat Pots!

Hello Friends! 

Life has been very exciting around here!

The much awaited, anticipated Baby Colton is here!

Not without some drama and scares,

but Baby and Mama are now doing great!

They live about 1 1/2 hrs. from me,

so I have been going up about twice a week

to feed the parents, tidy up and revel in my new grandson!

Boys are new territory for me,

having had two girly girls,

but my heart is so full when I'm with him:

I know!!

He is a such a good baby as well!

Loving the whole Grandmother thing.

The fabulous Vintage Marketplace in Southern California

was held the first weekend in March.

I love it, it's so inspiring, a great shopping opportunity,

and a chance to catch up with some favorite vendors.

Here's a brief tour:

A closer look at the lovely ladies:

Fairy garden magic:

And of course it was a lovely day.
Looking forward to the June show!

I have been involved in a number of swaps lately, as well!
Here is an altered peat pot I made for my Paper Soiree group:

Covered the pot in a little French text papers, a little lace and a little burlap.
The bird is a wood shape which I covered in text,
on a wood birdcage, which was stamped in brown ink with a text stamp.
I was not able to attend the meeting, but I was delighted to receive
this adorable peat pot created by Michelle:

I love the fabric wrapped wire, and the twig with the birdie on it,
thanks so much Michelle!
I have another peat pot to share,
but I want to wait til my partner receives it,
plus more swap fun to share with you,
so please check back soon :)

Hope Spring is making its way to you,
especially to those of you who have suffered a harsh winter!

Some cute Spring-y images for you:

wishing you all a lovely week!

Hello Friends!

I think I will wait 'til next post to post my
"Les Douze Jours de Noel" aka
Twelve Days of Christmas gifties

Meanwhile I shall dazzle you with my photos of
"Vintage Marketplace", held Dec. 5 & 6 in Rainbow, CA:
