A Few {Pretty} Things

The other day, Princess broke the zipper pull off her pink puffer coat.

Looky, looky at this little treasure I found for her!

I believe it was somewhere in the range of 50 cents! Cha-ching!

I found mine ready-made at JoAnn Fabric, but you can easily make your own with buttons, beads and a little clippy thing from the jewelry making section.

*

Too cute!

While I was there I picked up these:

You know, I am currently obsessed with all things cowboy.

Wait till you see that hat on a chain around my neck!

Talk about your pretty things!

Did I mention these are 1/2 off till Saturday?  ;)

I got this hat at Target for under $4! 

I bought {three}.

Stay tuned for what I will do with this hat.

(besides wear it as is, since it is so darned cute and I keep getting compliments from random strangers when I wear it!)

Here is some inspiration for me:

Which do you like?

Thanks for all your help with this black wall piece. I decided to take down the artwork I had on the old piano and replace it with a new line-up that matches the Infant of Prague, who now resides there. I inherited him from my Grandma, who passed away last fall. He was very special to her, so I have given him a place of honor here. I was too lazy to go up and get the candles that are supposed to sit on these candlesticks....and too short on time to Photoshop them in. Use your imagination. :) I sort of still feel like putting some greenery up there or something but it is too cold to venture into the attic, so it will have to wait until another day.

You know I am all crazy about textures right now. Well I was playing with food coloring the other day. (This reminds me so much of a few projects I did for art class in high school!)

I set these a little out-of-focus on purpose (really!) because I wanted soft, fluid images to use with some of my pictures. No harsh lines.

Isn't this cool? (there are like 100 more. My new camera can click FAST!)

*

Here are some more I did:

This one has an ugly glare on it. :( But isn't that image awesome? I will be doing this again!

I want to see it in focus...then maybe soften it with Photoshop instead...

*

I {HEART} this one!

*

and this one. 

But now I want to re-do this one in focus. I didn't realize how much I would like this look just as it is.

*

I can't wait to try this one as a texture. I LOVE the colors I got here!!

{PRETTY}
