to the blog world…
This week however I want to bring her back home,
and give the tutorial a more personal touch…
The thing about her is that she didn’t always look sooo chic.
I have people asking me all the time
“How do you always find
such good deals?”
Well… I think it has something to do with the fact that I see things
not as they are
but as how they could become…
I believe I learned such a gift from my Grandfather..
He always used to tell me…,
” Desi, love is not blind… it just sees the best in us”
Second, I removed the ugly sticks from the base.
My original plan was
to bleach the fabric… because I love roses.
Trust me I tried to do it BUT it didn’t work… for some reason it wouldn’t bleach.
My spontaneous plan B was to paint the fabric.
So I did. First black…
Third… It was time to put some of the original embellishments back…
They are so cute!
She went from Miss Lovely
to Miss Fabulous 😉
and from a forgotten shelf at Goodwill
to the front table at the entrance of my home…
…yep! she is lovely and she is wearing my grandma’s necklace… How cute is that!
