~French Candlesticks & Dried Flowers~

I wanted to do a project with dried flowers, so I went shopping to find just the right piece.
I found these candlesticks at 
HomeGoods but didn't like the color.
So out came the creme color paint .
I really like how they turned out with a vintage look to them. 
I've been collecting flowers
 for a project, so it was perfect.
I used the French candles I 
 made for the vignette.
I added some bling to my statue.
Putting different color flowers around the candles make them look so Romantic...

Marshall and Cheryl were very helpful hosts.
It was a fun day with live music. 
Lots of food and places to relax.
Love having Carly and Justin there for the event.

Our Miniature Fairy Garden

I love my miniature Fairy Gardens. 
I've collected quite a lot of things in the last 16 years.
In this garden,  I started using planters and pots because it's easier to change the flowers.
My little girl adds some whimsy.
Here's what I added to the rustic arches.
A wreath and moss softens it.
I had to have a chandelier in my miniature garden. 





The little fences you can buy add the individual look.
The brick path next to it helps create
 that cottage feel.
All the little houses lined up in a row.
The wire baskets are good, they look as though it's a fence around it.
Little signs help create the theme.
Of course, a little tea set!

We love you and hope you have a fun day today!
  I also wanted to thank everyone that linked up to Simple & Sweet Fridays. It's always fun to see your wonderful projects and meet new bloggers. There's still a little time left to link up.
I've been busy working on my crafts to sell this coming weekend at Summers Past Farms.








This is just some of the things I've been working  on. It should be a fun day
