Next On My Crafty To Do List...

The next thing I wanna make is euro shams for my bed.  I've had the pillow inserts for months but no shams.  I just haven't found the right ones or the right fabric to make some, that is until I went to RED ;o).  I found some beautiful fabrics at the right price (75% off).  This is what I picked up:

This is a beautiful embroidered silk.  When I get around to making these, I'll share pics. 

Well, I've got my hands full of paint :o) so hopefully I'll have some new artwork to share soon. 

Have a good one & thanks for stopping by!!

RED in Fredericksburg - My Happy Place!

After we were done at the Peddlers Show, we headed into town for lunch and of course a little shopping ;o).  We into RED and let me tell you, angels started singing, my eyes lit up and with a HUGE smile, I think I even squealed.  This store is AMAZING, they have modern/transitional furniture mixed with vintage finds, jewelry, luxurious fabrics, books and so much more.  I absolutely LOVED everything there!  I snapped a few pics of some of my favorite displays to share with you:

This was one of the first things that caught my eye when I walked in.  I LOVE the organic quality of this piece.  It was displayed above a very elegant dinning table.  I wouldn't mind putting this in my casual dinning area! :o)

This artwork really spoke to me, it reminds me of my own pieces.

This display had to be my FAVORITE, these light fixtures are made from old album covers.  They were made by a design student for a class project and then they just took off.  I absolutely LOVE these aren't they great!  The table was kinda industrial with steel trim and legs.  I would love to have this set up in my studio......

This store was bursting with INSPIRATION and CREATIVE energy and the staff was so friendly!  I'm definitely going back!!  Check out their website when you get a chance: RED!!!

Come back by tomorrow to see what I bought!

  Have a Wonderful Day!!!!

Peddlers Show - Fredericksburg, TX

We got up early this morning and headed out to Fredericksburg for the Peddlers Show.  It was his/hers weekend so they had hunting and fishing stuff for my honey and loads of inspiration for me!  I picked up a couple of goodies that I'll share with you a little later. 

There were SO many talented artisans at the show but Debbye Fletcher from Country Relics really caught my eye with her beautiful jewelry and awesome display:

Doesn't that look great!?  I was really wishing I brought my big girl camera with me instead of my point and shoot because this pic doesn't do her display justice. I love the antique typewriter, I've been wanting one of these for the studio but haven't been able to find one.  Debbye, thanks so much for letting me take this pic for my blog :o) 

Be sure to check out Country Relics' Facebook page to see their beautiful jewelry and find out where they'll be next.  I'll be back tomorrow with more Fredericksburg goodness!!
