More pics of my craft room.
Love this bridal print in an old frame.
Sweet rose oil painting from the Rose Bowl flea market for $30.00. It is hard to tell in the picture, but the trim on the frame is velvet.

A heart decoration that I made...
Love tutus....
 My family took me to tea at Key's Creek Lavender Farm in Valley Center, CA for my birthday. Here is a picture of me in the little shop that they have there.
 Yummy treats that were served to us along with tea of course. I highly recommend this place, but I would try to go during either the spring or summer. It is up in the mountains so it gets a little chilly in November and during the summer months you can see the lavender.
 After tea we went to the Matilda's Mouse barn sale. Betty Crocker once lived in the house next to this barn.
 They had a little place to sit and take a picture with Santa so I took a photo with my Dad and our little dog Leo.
 A picture inside the barn.
'Another Vignette set up outside the barn.  The barn sale is held once a month and each month they have a different theme. It is a really great place to go to get some decorating ideas.

A mannequin from France that I found at a flea market this past weekend. Tattered and torn, but still very beautiful.

 A pile of millinery flowers that apparently came from a lady who worked for MGM studios and had some old stock left over. My favorite is the large velvety pink one.
 I love the lavender bundles wrapped in pink velvet ribbon. I am thinking of using them on my Christmas packages.
Old fabric pieces I plan on using in my sewing projects.
