Shhhh, don’t tell anyone but I’m up in my studio playing around with flowers. I’m supposed to be sewing, I have orders to fill.
I found a fabulous bag full of vintage italian beaded flowers at the Big Flea, ummm, I’d say about a year and a half ago. That is so my MO, see something great for a project, grab it, bring it home. The end. I have SO many great ideas, my closet is full of them!
In the middle of sewing tonight, these flowers were sitting there in the bag just calling my name. I got the nudge that I needed to finish this one when I found the perfect wreath form at the thrift store earlier this week. It was just a woven reed wreath form, but it had a cardboard backing on it. Hmmmm.
So I pulled off the yucky flowers that were stuck to this wreath and pried off the backing. I added some pretty vintage wallpaper and reapplied it after spray painting the wreath white.
Then I started wiring the flowers on.
I’m loving it! It’s a keeper.
Suzy that is beautiful.

Hi Suzy – those beaded flowers must be the find of the century! I’m glad that you have made something sooooo wonderful with them. It is so adorable – I just love it! (I know what you mean – it’s nice to put sewing aside sometimes, for more instant crafting, isn’t it?)
I would comment on your post above, but have no clue what you are talking about! I guess its a US only show!
