Quickies - Fluff And Four Years


lavender bundles, music rolls, fluff, blog birthday
Good Sunday morning!

More fluff for this Quickies post.

I have scoured through your blogs to find how you set up for shows.

One thing stood out.

FLUFF!


Small inexpensive items that seemed to make your big items stand out.

Previously I painted pine cones to match some of my primitives.

This past week I went a bit crazy with fluff.


BUT I am not distressed about it at all!

 


Purchased lavender stems at half price at Hobby Lobby.

I save my real lavender stems for ME!

Hate to be a hog, but ...


I do love lavender.





Gathered some white tissue, lace bits, and twine.












Twelve bundles.

















Nearer to the Gathering, I will drop some lavender oil on each bundle.
















My cherub head wished to be in numerous pics.

I do tend to spoil him.










I bought a notebook of sheet music from a teacher's estate. 

I have used copies of it for several project pieces and now it is time to turn it loose.

There was enough for eight stacks.

Dug out a roll of overdyed torn cotton ribbon from Horror Monster's Stash.






Gently rolled each stack into thirds and tied a ribbon on each.











Group photo.

















Today is my blog's fourth anniversary.

It is so hard to believe I have been doing this for four straight years.



Some of the bloggers who started around the same time as I are still hanging on.

Others have taken different paths.

I cherish my time in Bloglandia interacting with bloggers who quickly become friends. 

I love to find new bloggers starting out.

Y'all will just have to put up with me some more because I plan to stick around for awhile.

Thank you for being my friends!






 Fluff will be available at Magnolia Ridge.



















See y'all!

    The lavender bundles and sheet music bundles are so sweet. Great idea

  3. Donna, where are you and Magnolia Ridge located ? I know you must be too far for me to visit, but I enjoy seeing your discoveries through your blog. Happy Anniversary! And many more. I've slowly unsubscribed from some of my regular blogs because I just don't have time for everyone. Some are too phoofy for my tastes and those go first. But you will always be in my inbox! We've got the same tastes and I adore what you bring home. Thanks for the memories....and Pinterest pins!

  6. I almost feel I've been with you since the beginning, but probably not. I love to see your finds and what you do with them. You're not THAT far away from us, so we may just have to plan a visit/overnight road trip! Thank you for all the entertainment! Here's to another year!!! Best wishes. Fonda

  8. Hi Donna,
    I've researched where to find wholesale lavender to sell in my shop, but haven't found anyplace yet. There are some fields in Washington state and it is less expensive to buy in unsorted bulk. If I find a good place this summer, I will let you know. Maybe you could split an order with someone else.

    Good for you for reaching the four year mark! And good luck at the Gathering.
