Fun Friday Challenge #2

I used a vintage hat pin, postcard from 1911 and vintage vocabulary card along with getting into old scrapbook paper and sticker stash, so nothing new purchased for this piece at all!
Oh, I take that back! I did buy that little flourish stamp yesterday on a little fun trip to Joann's. They were having 40% off sale on all stamps.

I also bought 6 sheets of a distressed blue damask paper that I will be lining my hutch with and a beautiful rose print I will be lining the back of one of my bookcases with. I'll be backing the other case I use in the family room with this Cavallini & Co. paper.


I'm in love with blue right now and will be bringing the color into my front room as an accent color, so I bought a spray paint to paint a now black shelf and will be eventually recovering some pillows with a light blue toile. I'll, of course, take pictures of all this when I actually start these little projects.

Anyway, this collage piece is part of that "bringing blue into the front room" project and I'll display this collage in that room.

I am absolutely loving the challenge group, it gives me a theme to focus my thoughts on and a deadline to get something done...it also seems to be sparking all sorts of creativity and ideas for my home decorating projects, so I've been carrying around a little notebook to write these things down as they pop into my head. If only there was more time to spend doing all these things! Once again, I wish that sleep was not necessary!
