Transformation Thursday...

Lots of findings from here and there....
Pieces of yesterday that caught my eye for one reason or another...
or for not reason at all...


...help me transform
rescued vintage books...

And sometimes when luck and inspiration hit me,
I'm able to tell a story....

Or even capture a customer's memory...

But many times, I feel like the books transform themselves...
I just happen to to be the one with the glue in my hand...

For more wonderful transformations visit:

Thank you Chas!!!

I wish you could had heard the excitement in Clara's voice last night, when she called me and told me that the box from Chas had arrived!!!

"It's all so pretty!" she said...and "She wrapped it so well!"..."She used a vintage cigar box"..."And she sent so many goodies!"...

Well, once again, she was right!!!
So many goodies!
Vintage photographs of Sisters...don't miss the key detail...Love it!!!

A "Merci" card attached to a vintage bobbin....Cute!!!

Our own coffee cozies...Can't wait to go to Starbucks now!!!
I kept the red, Clara kept the taupe and black...

I also kept the shredded vintage paper...I'm planning to use it in a vignette...
Great texture! I think I need a shredder now!!

Chas is so sweet and talented. Her blog, "The Wild Raspberry" is where she shares her passion for Family, vintage goodness and a simple, comforting life.
We try to visit her every day, and you should too!...you will not be disappointed!
Thank you, Chas!!! We will treasure our goodies for ever! Now, let's try our coffee cozies!
