Internal Dilema

You know the old cartoon bit,

devil on one shoulder,

angel on the other,

Well, the first thing I am learning about WISHES is it brings that bit out in me BIG TIME!

I wanna keep it,

I should take it to the shop,

I wanna keep it,

I should take it to the shop,

(Echo reports the same issue BTW)

Here is the latest culprit:

We are working on a Spring re-vamp of the shop that will take place tomorrow and I made this table centerpiece this morning and 

DANG!!

I want to KEEP HER!!!

I am not going to though I promise, she will be there at WISHES and available after tomorrow.

I will probably have to make another for me though.  And, I want to share some of her details and why she works so well:

close up on the metal vase I painted and distressed.  And that is a vintage rhinestone button in the center, very blingy.

Ok, fake leaves are not my thing, they get plucked from almost everything I do, just an FYI if you feel like you are not quite able to get that romantic vintage "look" you are wanting.  Next notice what I replaced them with for "fill"  Vintage book pages, I LOVE!!  Going to be doing this a lot I think.

Design tip from Wishes:

when you are working with a pale soft palette, it is all about the textures, MORE IS MORE!

and here is a paperlife tip, I usually only buy creme toned flowers and to give them subtle color I use my spray mists, like tattered angels, it gives it that little "hint" of color and a little sparkle to the flowers and I love that.  I used a peachy tint here and love how it turned out.  Echo and I are using sort of peach and apple green color hints for Spring this season.  Wishes is all about keeping a beautiful blank canvas all the time in your home and then being allowed to add in hints of color or seasons when you want a little fun change, I have decorated the main part of my home like this for years and LOVE it, but, much more on that as time goes on.

This detail photo is a piece of how my paperlife completely fits into Wishes.  I hardly make anything that doesnt have a piece of it in it.  I have been all about butterflies right now, I was never really into them before but, I told you my story about Gram and I swear she sends one to me here and there all the time now, so they are very incorporated into my spring decor.  This is the new My Minds Eye, Miss Caroline collection, Echo and I are using it for our burst of spring color in the shop it has a lot of that perfect peach and apple green we were wanting.  I punched the butterflies out with my coveted martha stewart punch, and they are all adhered on with Ranger glossy accents.

I just love this, it is exactly what I was going for!

One last Wishes Design tip that I feel gets overlooked so much when I visit peoples homes, and that is Height.

This arrangement's main criteria was height, and I think I achieved it.  Look around your house, do you have a few tall pieces to fill that layer of your house, or are you all bottom heavy?  It can make a HUGE difference in the feel of your decor, trust me.

Well, Echo is busy today too, she is working on a fabulous antique piece we are bringing in as well.  I will take pictures of our re-vamp progress tomorrow and get a final shot to you when we are done, I can't wait to see what we come up with!!!

Best Wishes and a Beautiful Paperlife,

Amy

That's a nice problem to have! At my house it would be a huge cat toy, sorry to say. So I'll just drool on-line and MAYBE get to see it in person before it goes out the door. Lovely!

This actually made good common sense: why would not a serious trauma of this kind, a betrayal of trust, lead to psychological complications in later life?
