A New Look from Crooked Stream

Surprise!




"The Confessions of a Milliner"

Hats...I adore them!
Ah, yes, my brothers think I may have gone so far as to be addicted to hats...
But really, I think it's just quite contagious.
Well, okay~ they're addicting. ;)
I've been wanting a 1920's-ish Cloche hat to wear,
especially during this crisp Fall and upcoming Winter.
Suddenly, my creative juices were overflowing,
and I felt inspired to design and make what I had in mind.
Out came some black wool,
vintage fabric for lining,
and a gift box to be transformed into it's brim.
I must say, it turned out splendidly.

Later that same week, they came out in
Chadwick's and Maurices...








*Pssst*~Do you think...I may have started the trend??? ;)

Annie's "Baby Pie". :)



Although, I'm afraid that her "Baby Pie" didn't live for very long... ... ... ;)

Arts and Crafts--Discovering Hidden Beauty





BEFORE(A rickety, but neat old rustic garage sale find!)


A horrid scummy green-ness, which took lots of effort to get rid of!





Out came my favorite paint stripping equipment! I love refinishing these kind of things!



:drum roll:



AFTER!




I painted it "RANCH RED" and it really ties in with our home decor.
I love it!

They mix well!
