Thrift Store Thursday

I am a little obsessed with mushrooms, so when I saw this cookie jar at the thrift store for 1$ it had to mine. It holds my paintbrushes nicely.



We are going camping this weekend. I am pretty excited. I'm sure there will be lots of photos when I return!

The Newest Pixiepoo Custom Paisley

I thought I would introduce my latest custom blythe doll even though she has already been adopted out.

After months in the making- This is Paisley



This is her story-

Once there was a little girl named Paisley. Her parent's loved her dearly and gave her everything her heart desired. Because of this she became a spoiled child. She believed she was the most beautiful girl in the land. She spent hours and hours brushing her pink little curls. Because she was so vain she didn't have many friends other than her little pet Mitzy.



I did all of her customization work. She is a Tea for Two EBL. Her dress was specially made for her by Blythe Fifth Avenue on etsy.




She has had the following work done-

New face-up- with carved lips and nose. She also has tiny heart on her right cheek.




Beautiful graphic lids.



She has sleep eyes with new pullcharms.



She was given a hot pink mohair re-root. It is soft and fluffy.



She also has a custom throwaway pet bunny named Mitzy.



She also has her own room box.



The outside is painted mint green and has been distressed, then sealed. I have also added a decorative wood piece on the front painted in multiple colors.



The inside is two rooms.

One is the picture wall I did the drawings and they are framed with tiny frames. I have also added distressed beadboard.



The other room has her bedroom window and a pink paper latern. There is also a decorated vanity to keep Mitzy in as well as the distressed beadboard.



She is quite the labor of love. I had so much fun creating her.

Art Journal Swap

I am doing an art journal swap. This is the page I did for this journal. Barn Owls have to be my favorite animal. They are so beautiful.

Thrift Store Thursday

There was so much awesome at the thrift store today.

Look at this haul.



Ya, I scored big time.

My favorite thing has to be this vintage bunny. He was 75 cents.



I find his little face beyond adorable.

My next favorite thing is this Dollhouse picture frame. It is so detailed and quite large. It was 3 dollars. I am planning on re-painting it and doing a mixed media art project with it.



I found lots of kitschy art for my little girl's room- They ended up being 3.00 all together.





These vintage patterns



A goal of mine is teach myself how to sew, if I have cute patterns like these maybe it will motivate me more to do it. They were 25 cents each.

And check out these vintage Disney vinyl records, they are also a story books.
They were a 1 dollar each.



The little butterfly was 25 cents. I was digging his bright colors.

Thank you thrift store for being good to me today.

Thrift Store Thursday

Do you get the joke? Haha...a fish with no "i"'s.....Anywho!

I love Thursdays because it is thrift store day. Today I found these marvelous ceramic fish. Growing up I remember my Grandma having similar ones in her bathroom. I always thought they were pretty cool.

Another fun find was this lovely bag



I am going to use it as my new camera bag. It is nice and sturdy.



I love the little details it has.
