Ok so I decided to cram all sorts of pretty in this one post! So you might want to get comfy!
First pretty is this lovely millinery! Ok so the story is YOU NEVER SEE THIS STUFF AROUND MY NECK OF THE WOODS! So when I went to the Artful Tea, and I walked in and saw a big pile of it sitting there I LITERALLY RAN and gasped. The girls all ran with me and we QUICKLY emptied the table. It may or may not have been a great deal or not, BUT what is important is it was lovely, and it was THERE, and it is usually NEVER there!
Next pretty I also found at the Artful Tea. I found this lovely material that looks perfect for stitching. It has sweet little roses on it! I also found this sweet heart pillow case for a few dollars.
I also wanted to share with you a few of my recent purchases from a shop I found in town. I mentioned it a few post back. Check out these pretties!
I found these and got them all except the wedding dress on the end for less than $20 AND the Swiss dot wedding dress was only $30! I've already taken my scissors to all of it except the blue and pink dress. I not sure if I can cut them! lol
I loved this tin heart box I found!
I loved these rhinestone pieces!
I collect these, and can never have enough!
I found this fabric, rose cotton ribbon, and this darling tulle ruffle hair net!
I got this. . .
and these for a friend. SO DARLING!
Pretty laces.
Sweet Swiss dot blue half apron.
HATS!
and more HATS!
And lastly I LOVED this night jacket!
Now for a GIVEAWAY! I am thrilled to have my Marie's Danse Des Fleurs event featured in Sonia's Creating Marie Style magazine! It's such an honor! SO to celebrate I am doing a GIVEAWAY!
I will be giving away a copy of Sonia's stunning Creating Marie Style magazine and this sweet pink and blue charm bracelet.
The bracelet is made using vintage chain and pearls, vintage beads, vintage rhinestone findings, and other new and vintage items. My favorite part is the vintage clasp!
Sonia is so sweet to offer a publication of her Marie magazine and will be shipping it to the winner. I will be shipping the bracelet. One winner, two sweet Marie treats.
HERE'S HOW TO ENTER
Normally I try to make this part simple, but this time I thought I would make it a little interesting.
1. Leave a comment below will earn you one entry to win.
2. If you follow, or are already a follower of my blog you will get another entry.
3. If you do a post about Sonia's new and fabulous magazine (not sidebar, but a post) on your blog and mention the giveaway you will be entered TWO more times.
Then on June 20th I will tally everything up, stick the entries in a hat, and pick a winner. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR EMAIL OR BLOG IS ATTACHED TO YOUR COMMENT SO I CAN NOTIFY YOU IF YOU ARE SELECTED THE WINNER.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and GOOD LUCK!
Oh what wonderful finds! And a wonderful giveaway too! I just love Marie and hope to win

Cassandra, I think you and I would have a rough time shopping together. Aparently our taste must be very alike because I felt complete jealousy of every one of your finds. Talk about kicking myself for not going somewhere. It is funny as I have the same problem with Karen. She can scan a room for lace in seconds. It's kind of like "Lacer" Sorry I missed it. Congratulations on being featured in the Marie Publication
Posted by: Claudia Cayne | June 05, 2011 at 08:19 PM
Love the dotted swiss and the lace finds! You have an eye for vintage. What a fun giveaway. I love the bracelet.
