Etsy Inspired #121--1.8.11

  Happy Saturday!!! Dearness me, I am soooo totally exhausted! We started a new semester at school and all my students are brand new! I am finishing up my second inquiry to clear my credential (one more and I'm done), finalizing plans for CHA and working on publication calls, and finally the most draining (and depressing) part of my week is preparing for my goodbye to my hubby who leaves on the 16th of January to start a new job that requires 100% travel. Although, his boss assures him the travel will eventually lighten up (maybe 70% travel), I am not relishing the idea of only seeing my hubby for 2.5 days every 11 days. Sigh. Such is life. God provided this job and I am believing God will give my hubby and I the strength to begin this interesting season of our marriage.
  But, on a happier note we have a most fabulously glam shop this week! La Pomme sells gorgeous authentic French vintage objects and home decor. This is TOTALLY my type of store. Look at some of the BEAUTIFUL products that you can find in this shop.

Lavender Scented Plush Home Decor

French Vintage Pharmacy Bottles

Vintage Arcopal Demitasses Mugs

Seriously, I am in love. But, now for the real cincher! I have Vintage framed prints hanging in my office restroom. They were given to me by my own mother during a very special family antique bridal shower where the closest married women in my family give the bride-to-be an antique from an ancestor. My mother knew how much I loved these vintage prints, gifted them to me and now they grace the walls in my home. So of course the following prints were my inspiration for this week's card.

Victorian Vintage Fashion Prints

Cameo's are sooo in right now. I found this divine Art Deco Ladies Cameo at This Good Day

The Cameo is soo gloriously fashionista that I knew it would be perfect for this shop!

Look at the pretty glitter on the hat. The muslin fabric is from Emma's Paperie

This is a simple home made embellishment where I gathered two layers of lace

trim into a circle, adhered it to a base, and stitched a button on top.

   Okay, okay I know that Art Deco which came about early 20th century is NOT the same as 19th Victorian, but I just couldn't help myself! But, here is the absolute BEST part of this challenge. One winner will win vintage sheet music, a vintage tin box AND a plush fruit from  La Pomme !!! OOOhhh...pure gloriousness!!

  This week's sponsor is The Stamp Fairy They'll be awarding our second winner three free digi's of their choice!
