Soft Aquas

The sun is shining here today and it put me in the mood tocreate a springy vignette.  I love collecting things to sell becauseit gives me so many lovely things to play with I could nototherwise justify buying.Today I'm in a pastel aqua mood and decided to show you thelovely aqua bottles I've been collecting.This one makes a statement by itself with a lone seashell ~ makesme wish I was at the ocean.

 Here I've paired a few of them with a couple frames I painted and addedpictures of vintage wall paper from The Graphics Fairy. 

 Please keep in mind in all these pictures that I used faux flowers.Sorry about that ~  but nothing is blooming here yet. 

 I love the texture on these frames. 

 These pretty frames will be for sale at my Open House and I hopethat someone will love the use of wallpaper prints for the content and not just buy them for the frames.  The fleur de lis prints I posted about several weeks ago were bought from my Etsy shop,but were purchased simply for the frames.  I think these are really sweet and different than the average picture, but we all have our own tastes.

 The rag placemat was a thrift store purchase and I bought it to usefor display purposes.  I fell in love with its worn look and pastel colors. ~Now I need to ask you what you think of this young lady? 

I just painted her ornate metal frame black and was going to putanother picture in the frame, but ~ I'm starting to like her.I realize I'm not showing you her frame right now, but do you think Ishould repaint her frame white and keep her as the content?Also, while I'm asking for advice ~ does anyone know how to get theinside of old bottles clean when you can't get down inside to wipe them out?~Linking withA Stroll Thru Life for Table Top Tuesday~The Graphics Fairy for Brag Monday~Coastal Charm for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday
