rose tassel

I like to have tassels hanging everywhere

Have been called tassel lady lots of times

here is one for fun

romantic Memo Board

a nice size to put in the studio or on the wall
I like lots of Memos, so this suits me well
I use one for recipes, one for dental appointments etc.
and one as a reminder of things to finish in my studio

There are enough there for 6 Memo boards I would say


this one is in my Etsy shop

antique lace makes 3 sachets

lace is applied to the back and front of the sachets

lavender makes them fragrant

pretty for Mother and nice sitting beside the bed or on a Vanity

hand sewn so a bit of effort makes them special

sitting on old doily

buttons and pearls

English cottage bag

from a series of cottage paintings that I made into bags and books

for sale in Etsy

I love cottages, wonder why?

all my life wanted to have one and live in one

the look is so comforting

Now I just paint them

to Market I go

I think French market bags are great

love any size or shape

a quick visit to the daily market in Toulouse is one I carry

just like this

It holds all I need and slips over the should to keep hands free

I did embroider the capital  P

some blossoms to paint?

encountered these on a walk

not sure the name, they look like orchids but are not quite

lovely anyway

sunny day here in the Islands

the flowers are blooming nicely and the birds are chirping

I try to take pictures of the many birds outside my Lanai, they move very fast and I often miss

This is a Japanese white eye I think.

stunning silk velvet purse

this was featured in a magazine a while back
I found the antique butterfly in sorry shape
set about to restore it and do more beading
the bag features one of my beaded tassels and more beading scattered in the velvet
Velvet is ombre dyed and is silk
