Be My Valentine.

V-Day is 14 days away and one thing I have leaned over the years is that you can never prepare early enough.  Some of you may not know this, but I run a florist in a small rural town.  Instead of a One-Man-Band, I am a One-Woman-Florist.  Found some fantastic crafts I just had to share with you guys.

 Enjoy, Heidi

Wendy Addison's Theatre of Dreams Via Heather Bullard

Here is a two for one since I have been laying off the blog lately. This is one of my favorite artists, Wendy Addison. She captures magic in her work, the kind that you find in old treasures. This is her workshop, the Theatre of Dreams. Her line has been picked up by the company Midwest of Cannon falls so you probably have seen her stuff in stores (Curious Sofa). All of the images are via Heather Bullard who not only has a good eye but loads of talent. If you are looking for more eye candy her blog and her work are fabulous. Brace yourself, you are about to go on a magical escape. Enjoy, Heidi

Make your own Upholstered Headboard.

Now I haven't done this yet, but I thought that I would share my find with you anyway. I am going to make my own upholstered headboard since I want one and times are tough, but like I always say, " when the going gets tough, the tough get clever." Growing up with not a lot of resources you learn to be keen of your surroundings and use what you got. Most of the times those projects turn out to be the best. So, here are some images that have inspired me to do such a crazy thing and perhaps you would like to make one yourself. Just click on this wonderful website called Be Jane and step by step you too can make your own upholstered headboard. I will post mine as soon as I get it done. (Don't hold your breath though, I'm a bit of a procrastinator.) Enjoy, Heidi

These fans would be great for and outdoor wedding or shower.

This is one of the most clever things I have seen in a while. Electronics don't go with my decorating scheme, but this stack of books does. Why not hide the remote in the fab book? Clever. Image courtesy of Real Simple.

Matthew Mead is extremely creative and has teamed up with Country Living and puts out these great do-it-yourself crafts. Here is one of my favorites, the book sculpture. Last 3 images courtesy of Country Living.
