Itsy Bitsy Cottages Paper Houses





These are my new creations. They are tiny houses 2" or 3" tall. They are perfect to group together. These small homes will bring whimsy to any spot! I love putting them on books like in these pictures. I think they make a very happy vignette!! They are paper,actually cardboard, covered with plaster and paint.
I designed the templates, cut out all the windows and doors, created decorative roof coverings and layered on the paint and plaster.

What Makes My Heart Skip a Beat! ECS Blog Party



Majestic, French style armoires are my favorite. But I'm completely addicted to armoires in general! Whenever I see one I'm unexplainably pulled towards it. And I just have to look at the price tag of course!

Long, white flowing silk curtains are a must. And the longer the better! I hang all my curtains way up high. Makes the room taller and more elegant. And then puddle them on the floor.

Gustavian style furniture is so fairytale like. It is so whimsical and yet so very sophisticated!

Blue jeans are like armoires for me. I just can't seem to get enough of them!
Pair the jeans with diamonds and you've got the perfect outfit!
And of course which girl could possibly resist that Tiffany blue little box topped with a beautiful white bow?! Aquamarine is my favorite color. I love all shades of it. From the brighter signature Tiffany to the silver sage from Restoration Hardware.

These are my favorite things. They stop me in my tracks everytime!! Thanks Etsy Cottage Style for the great topic!

My Latest Projects: Perfect Mother's Day gifts!

   I've  made a couple of new projects for my etsy shop.  These are samplers.  I've included an assortment of goodies with each box.  

This black and white one is $19.95 with free shipping at  http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24232770




P.S.  I've had a lot of questions about these buttons!  I promise it's really simple.  Acrylic paint and polyuretane, that's it!  After a couple days of drying, the polyuretane is solid.  
  Tell me what you think! I'd love to hear from you!!!

Button Make-Over

This is my button make-over! I got these plastic buttons from the craft store. At first, I thought I would use them just as they are. One day, the buttons were just sitting innocently on the counter top. I had been painting other projects when I looked around for something else to paint. There they were, my little victims, sitting in there plastic bag!!!



I just couldn't help myself! I thought "wouldn't they look pretty in pink!" Then I just had to have a green one , a blue one, a yellow one...

And here they are! All pretty in their new spring wardrobe.

I did a couple of strawberries, flowers, lots of dots.

Sometimes I just have to do this tedious sort of little project! Of course, now I need to do more!! It's addictive!

Crazy With Velvet Strawberries!

I' ve been making many velvet strawberries lately. Everytime I try to stop making them, I find more ribbon and buttons to adorn them! And then of course I can't stop myself from sewing them up!!!




All strawberries are covered with crystal seed beads. Makes them even more shabby chic!

I've handpainted all these buttons. I thought I would give them more of a spring time look!




They make great adornments for bulletin boards. If you want to check them out, they are available at www.cinderellamoments.etsy.com

My Favorites

This is one of my all time favorite houses. I think I love it so much because it is very simple.




This Victorian one below is the Etsy favorite. I guess people like it because it is more romantic!


This one below is my detail favorite. I love making the mailboxes with tiny letters, flags, doormats and flower pots!
