Sunday in the Studio


Where did that week go?
I missed last Sunday in the studio as I needed to work at the shop. But, after a VERY wonderful few days in the shop talking to the most lovely people and feeling very much appreciated : ), I'm back here today creating some more Christmas keepsakes. I hope to have these in store in the next couple of weeks....that is if I can pull together an idea I have for  a new design  for a Christmas tree. It will be a little hard to display my new things without it so wish me luck.....
happy days...
Angela.

Flowers, flowers and more flowers.

 This is how my day started...
 gathering flowers into pretty posies. Twelve in total.
 Bouquets for a friends' daughter's 21st.
 What a lovely way to start a day : )

Vintage Paper Keepsakes created in...my new studio!!!!!

I love Sundays.....a day when I get to do what I like : )
I have spent most of the day in my new studio room creating, among other things, vintage paper keepsakes. These go beautifully under cloches. I have had an order for these for a while now so it is SO good to get them done. In my new studio I have a very lovely large trestle table that John has just finished making me so I can spread everything out and create like a mad man!






 My roses have been flowering beautifully this season and I have decided that they are a must in the studio...in the right colours and tones of course. This is the very beautiful, girlie looking, soft pink Souvenir de la Malmaison 1843. It has a pure rose scent. 
I have been very inspired by this exquisite book that I received in the mail this week. "Timeless Shabby" by Sonja Bannick and Stefanie Rathjens is in German but none the less a wonderful book of inspiration and very worthwhile having. I have an extra one for $50 if anyone would like one and I will be ordering more if anyone would like to preorder on my shop blog. 
Now I'm off to put some washing on the line that should have been done ages ago. Oh well, you have to create when you get the urge...things go better that way. Stay tuned for some studio photos and some much awaited wedding photos.
Have a good week!
