Warm weather, how I've missed you!!!
I absolutely love right now. Spring fading into Summer, especially the months of May and of June.......
Does it get any better?
Beautiful things are everywhere! 
These are some pics I took a few weeks ago of my Dogwood and Crabapple trees.......
I just love Spring flowering trees! How I wish they would last longer! Sadly, those pretty blooms are all gone now.
All this warm weather has really lifted my spirits and I've been crafting away at some new things!
This is a custom jewel box I made for Miss Sandy of LuLu's Fluffy Ruffles. She liked the one I made for Natasha a while back and asked if I'd make her one. She wanted a vintage jewel piece on top.....
I was thrilled to come across this amazing vintage rhinestone brooch! 
Here's a closer peek........
I gave her plenty of lush ruffles!
This is the inside. I lined it with a pale blue velvet and pale blue ribbon accents.
Here we have Miss Sandy's monogram....
She also requested an altered perfume bottle like Natasha's.
Here's a closer peek of it, too. I trimmed it in vintage lace and another vintage rhinestone piece.
I hope you like it all Sandy!
I've got some new things in the works for my shop as well! I'll be back soon with those and some other projects I've been working on!
See you soon!

So i got myself four of them and now I have some faux dogwood above the piano, I'll have to send you pics, it's the nearest I'll get to the good stuff! xo
Hi Sweetie!

Dara, this is an absolutely fabulous box and matching bottle! I don't think I've seen you post something like this in your Etsy store (where I lurk). I'm so glad I stopped by your blog to check in today. I look forward to seeing all of your new treasures. Best wishes, ~MistiRose
