Hi all, hope your having a great week!!
I had to take a few more photos before my blooms fade away, so sorry if I'm going a bit overboard.
I'm getting so anxious for my B-Day in 2 months, that's when I get my new DSLR camera!! I have gotten some great advice from a couple of ladies I really admire about photography, so it has made me all the more eager to learn everything I can about it!! My class starts in June and I'm super excited for that too. It's funny that as a kid I hated school, but now that I'm an adult, I can't wait! Hopefully some of my excitement will rub off on my oldest son when he sees me going to college. He's not too crazy about school right now.
I'll keep my finger's crossed! :)
I made the pillow above a few months ago out of vintage German grain sack linen, but I just added the ticking fabric to the inside of it a few days ago to give it a little more color and to hide the insert. I love how it turned out.
Yes, I know, I had to add the flowers again. But you know how I love them! :)
I love the colors in this ticking, so pretty!
I changed my boys room around yesterday, so here are a couple of shot's of that.
I adore this little vintage school chair. I actually painted it a few years back this denim blue color. I love how some of the paint has worn away showing the original wood.
Flowers again!~ :)
Hope you all have a beautiful day!!
Sincerely,
Melinda

Wonder, Melinda!
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on your b-day camera-to-be, wow that's awesome! And taking classes for it? Even better! Your photography will knock our socks off for sure!
I love your pictures. You are so talented when it comes to catching the right shots. Going to school for that will be great as will your new camera! Hope to see you soon.

Hi Melinda, as it stands I love your pictures and always have, I will be excited to see what you create after classes and the new arrival of your DSLR is it a Canon T21 or the T3I with the upgrade to the video?
ReplyDeleteI am so looking to buy a new camera for myself and one that will allow me to grow with it until I can figure out what I want out of even a more upscale one! there is so much to learn and with work, blogging, etsy, and shop keeping and my design business it leaves so little time to learn another thing LOL!!!
I want to thank you for gracing my site post on the new French Chest I found and how much it means to me to read a comment from you that is always way to kind :)
Thank you for your loyalty.
Have a beautiful week on into the weekend :)
xoxo

Melinda!
ReplyDeleteSo honored by your visit and your comments today!
I have been following you for quite awhile. I am in love with your jewelry! The vintage Miriam Haskell pearls with the bow! AMAZING! I was a jewelry buyer in my younger days. I bought Haskell for my department. I also had trunk shows for artists such as you! One day, I will have a piece of your jewelry!

Oh, I love that pillow! You are such a pretty pillow-maker, Melinda. That's exciting news about your camera :)
ReplyDeleteI love your sons room...umm I wonder does the color blue have anything to do with it. Beautiful and congratulations on getting a new camera for your birthday!

There is no such thing as TOO many flower shots. Your photos are so pretty and the new pillow with the ticking is adorable. You have such talent.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Melinda....both the pillow and the flowers. I loved the last white hydrangea photos and these are lovely as well!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on going back to school. I did it with 2 kids and they both remember.....
Hello Melinda!
ReplyDeleteI just love your sons room, going back to peek again!
The pillow is very pretty, I like the striped ticking.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, I've done a few college courses and thoroughly enjoyed them, yet I hated school and couldn't wait to leave. I suppose it is because I chose subjects that interested me and that I enjoyed.
Exactly Tracey, I think that's what it is, you have to really enjoy the subjects your studying!
DeleteHope you have a lovely day.
Sincerely,
Melinda
I just adore your home....it's so beautiful...and I'm totally loving the pop of red ticking in the pillow.
