SPRING Cleaning!

Hi my name is Jennie and I am a messaholic!

phew there i said it out loud. (when I was a teenager sometimes it would be 2ft. deep of clothes and shoes in my room) Not that my living room is ever a mess or unstraightened ( my type A hubby is a neat FREAK) but when I do projects I get so involved it's overwhelming (it only lasts a week at most) but this time my studio was totally out of hand I could no longer move or make anything else! I unpacked 13 boxes of easter supplies that I left in the garage and OH was it something to find space for it all! It was a literal mountain of vintage on my 9ft. table! 6 hrs. later I was sobering up from my mess :)

Sorry there is no before picture that would be WAY too embarrassing! and to some of you this is still to cluttered ( but I do have 3 project going on there) but to me it's 6 GLORIOUS feet of clean wide open space! I might be having a destash sale here soon.
Some day I'll show the uber organized other side of the studio but I had to get this off my chest :)

Be sure to check out my sidebar for the FANTASTIC giveaways out in blogland right now, you won't want to miss them!

My Vintage Heart Swap 3

Vintage Heart Swap 3 Blog Hop Party

This has been so much fun! I have really enjoyed this swap and getting to know my sweet and patient swap partner Rochelle at Southern Girl... Northern Woman

We had some things in common like we both come from central California in quite a close area,

I've actually been to Chiliwack BC where she is now, just beautiful there. She may not have known this but I make jewelry also from vintage beads she is so talented and creative, I've been floored by her creations(they can be seen on her blog) She has been a joy to get to know!

So here are the treasures she sent.... an issue of bliss Victoria that is just wonderful

It's almost like we've gone shopping together for years!

I love pink jeanette glass!

and Lefton Pixies, if you've noticed my header

Long pink ruched gloves, a pink and white darling crocheted potholder, an amazing vintage pin cushion and a sweet sheer apron perfect for Valentine's Day!

the bag o evil! how could I resist any of it? needless to say hiding this from the kids was useless the found it and it was gone by time I went back for another treat!

I just love this shot!

Look at that sweet Kewpie Valentine enjoying the view from the patio :)

But this is the Pièce de résistance 

made by her loving hands! What a centerpiece! She will be cherished and enjoyed for many years to come. So Thank Rochelle for spoiling me silly and being such a sweetheart!

I also want to thank Dolly at From my Cherry Heart for being our gracious hostess!

Drop by and visit her to see the treasures from all the vintage heart swappers.

Thanks for stoppin' by and

Have a Happy Valentine's Day full of L-O-V-E and laughter!

We wanted everyone to know they were loved,

and this cutie is on etsy

Well that's all the Valentine's I've got in me this year. Be sure you don't let the one you love slip away...

My Busy Valentine

Can you believe only 2 1/2 weeks to Valentine's Day? It seems like time goes quicker than ever, when I was in jr. high it seemed like a week took a month to go by, now a month is gone in a week! My favorite is when I think I've answered an email or returned a phone call and days later I realize I only thought about it.   Maybe too much on the plate maybe not enough, ok enough midnight philosophy LOL Yah I have to laugh a myself normally I would delete this whole thing and then just put up a few sentences about what I came here to tell you, all business no dizzy blonde :)

 Any hoo I've been busy in the studio which have I ever mentioned is half my bedroom? we have a very large bedroom and my hubby likes me close so he and the kids watch tv(well the kids do he goes in and out of consciousness) and I glue and glitter the night away. 

Well here is about all the Valentine's I got left in me for

Delightfully Vintage Valentines 2010,

time to get going on Easter!

Also I've been asked A LOT lately "why christmas trees at Valentine's or Easter?"

My reply is this "do we go cut all the pine and fir trees down because Christmas is over?"

NO, hello, the trees  are always there they need to be appreciated all year :)
