Cheery Altered Miniatures Case

Look at these bright cheery colors! I don't have colors this bright anywhere in my home & now I have no idea why. I just recieved these amazing roses from my husband for our 6 year anniversary.

As they were sitting on the table I knew I had to make something to match this color so that when they were gone I would still have this happy shade of pink. This miniatures display box was at a thrift store for 3 dollars. It looked like it needed some altering. It was sick of being a boring shade of the same brown for so long I'm sure. I've been wanting to start many different projects of refurbishing furniture around here & I thought I'd practice with this one. After seeing Pam Garrison's closet all wallpapered. I knew I had to start looking for some vintage wallpaper but it's a little pricey. As it should be, it is gorgeous & old. To us artists, it's gold. So when this Swap was presented to me my prayers were answered. Here is a Swap I joined just in the knick of time. Beth & Karla's Birds & Bonnets Vintage Workshop Swap. Included in the swap you are able to print FREE copies of their lovely arrangement of Vintage Wallpaper. Hello! That's what I just asked for ! How perfect. & it's no suprise the papers look beautiful, they were easy to print & not hard to match with any of the colors I used.

And what do you know, Now I have just created a perfect display case for some of the fun things I'm sure to get from this Swap. The Little Bitty Swap hosted by Emily Rozell

And to top it all off I made this pretty Necklace which I am in love with & don't want to see go but it's in my Etsy shop now. It is made from an old rhinestone dangle necklace & some antique pendants. I'm still working on a photo to do is justice.
