Seeing Stars.


Just a few pics of the flag cushions l made this week....this type of thing has been around for a while, but still l wanted to make a couple for the chairs in the family room in colours to match the paintings. 





 The tutu paintings made all the others in the family room look outdated and the colours all wrong, so down they came.....for something a little different l decided to make a wall hanging.....it's of a star pentagon...floral on floral, (of course) l hung with it the dreamcatcher l made a few months ago, and then this smaller one was found at the opshop so l added that too, a few flowers, butterflies and cotton strips were added for decoration. It'll hang there for a while until l change my mind again:-))




My mum has a number of vintage florentine trays which l've always loved.....l've also found a couple over the years, but when l saw this jewellery box on ebay  it wasn't to be resisted.....it's from the 50's and is made of painted, carved wood.


Vintage plastic earrings sit on the hankie....mum tells me they would have cost about 2 and 6 (that's 2 shillings and sixpence) back in the day....about 25 cents. Wish she'd kept a few (hundred) pairs as these ones cost $10.00 and l thought they were cheap!!



One of my florentine trays...



Lovin' this florentine side table..pinterest.




Well that's the week over and those of us who're downunder will now enjoy a long weekend....hope it's fabulous wherever  you are.




Thanks for stopping by.


Til next time,


Bron.
