A BEAUTIFUL PURCHASE, AND NEW PAGES TO MY BOOK !

I alwayes love to see what my dear friend LIZ  from Lululiz in Vintageland have to offer in her Etsy shop,

and therefore follows both her blogs. I love the many French religious pieces she tracks up,

when on her tours there, and have once again purchased a beautiful

old thing from her .Please visit her wonderful shop, filled with beautiful and exiting finds!

Here is my beautiful silver piece with Virgin Mary, isen`t it lovely.

And a very lovely friend is Liz, too !!!--see this so beautiful tag she also send me , with

the old papers above!!

The beautiful card,old stamps and labels and the loveliest pieces to add to my 

creations, the blue flowers I have added to one of my book pieces :-)

Thankyou so much my dear Liz, you alwayes makes my purchases to the loveliest

gifts from your hands and sweet heart.

************************************

And here are then some new pages to my book, that I so enjoy to create!

Here I used a dried flower under a piece of Mica , and a bit of rust found on a tour to the beach!

Here I used a photo from last summer of a wonderful black- birds nest with 5

eggs,--I painted over the photo in some places and added a plastic piece

I have embossed ,on top of the photo-then some stamps and a bit of 

nature roots!

This page is painted ,  ceveral  times,-- and then I added

a piece of  (gold) trasch-some seaweed and a glass piece, which have "dansed" in 

The Baltic Sea for many years

I think I will soon have to stop making pages ,that the book will not be too heavy :-)

***

I want to thank, new followers ,--you are all so very appriciated !

And to all my wonderful friends- I hope you are feeling good, and wishes you

a happy rest of your day,-and /or evening- sending

you many hugs and love.

MORE PAGES TO MY BOOK- A LOVELY GIFT,-AND REAL POSTMAN`s DELIVERED CARDS!

The first page I show, I used a photo I shot myself , and thereafter

painted on the photo ,to give it a totally other expression that it was 

"born" with. I also used Gesso around the text, and the most beautiful seaweed below!

This page is mostly black,white and with a touch of green and brown.

The envelope is made from handmade paper (with real leaves)and I

added a feather and a driftwood piece to it.

Inked the page .....and stamped the bird.

And as you can see better here, also used a piece of bark I found yesterday

on my tour to the beach. The laces are an old piece,and a new one at the bottom.

This is very simple with paper napkin glued to the left, inks 

on the right, and the beautiful embroidered leafe ...I 

wrincled , gathered ? the fabric to get a beautiful effect!

Here is the spread- with a stamped and painted flower, a piece

of the most beautiful old  collar and other old pices.

The threads are from a fishermans netting.

Well enough for today,- but I want to show you these most beautiful

earrings that dear Rhonda from  http://alittlebitfrench.blogspot.dk/ 

have gifted me - I love the French charms and those beautiful crystals hanging below.

They came in sweet Rhonda`s lovely  :France packet.

Thankyou my dear, this was so very sweet of you- giving them to me

just because you knew I love them -Hugs and love and thanks from my heart,

I also recieved TWO postcards from  my mailman this week-

They both came from  sweet Tanya from http://beadandneedle.blogspot.dk/

both send from Colorado where she spend some dayes , and also visiting

the grave of Buffalo Bill ! I would have loved being there ,studying a bit about those

proud people. 

The beautiful lady I don`t know her story , but will google her....isen`t it

I AM SO TOUCHED BY BLOG FRIENDS !

I have known dear  TERRI for some years now, we have commented on each others 

blogs, and once I won a fantastic giveaway from this sweet woman.

Some weeks ago, I once again was touched so very much

by the kindness from this lovely friend.

I recieved , just like that,-a gorgeous packet from Terri, 

with beautifully wrapped sweetnesses of all kinds.

AND THIS amazing and so beautiful wristcuf that Terri made for me!

I was in love at first sight, with this wonderful jewelry -please click the photo 

to see all the beautiful stones,and crystals- it fits me perfectly, and

is one of my favorite colours: the colour of the Sea.

Thankyou my dear friend, I am so touched by your beautiful gift,-and

kind heart.

And if you look through the photoes you can see that Terri in every way

had made a Sea  theme, in the things she send me.

Beautiful seambindings , wonderful handmade papers,

and a roll filled with the most gorgeous strips of velvet and silken fabrics.

There was also a lovely inkpad in the turquise sea colour.

And here so lovely packed ,seambinding and a stamp,

shown below, -wrapped so sweetly with the feather ,I believe also 

found on the shore.

Dear Terri wrote me that she found the shells in Canada,

when having a vacation there, and

brought them back home to wrap and send some to me!!!

Isen`t it the sweetest thought! You can see  the shells and 

a wonderful collection of buttons ,wrappen in turquise tulle, both.

And have you seen the old papers that I love and the yummy teabags,

she also send me :-)

Here you can see all those goodies a little bit closer..Please

lovely collections yet---as I so love to watch them in their seablue tulle.

The beautiful tag Terri had already made for christmas , for me,

it is so gorgeous  !

Thankyou from my heart dear Terri, you have made me very happy with all this

beauty, and  most of all by the act of wanting to do it.

VINTAGE STYLE COLLAGE

Another week have gone, and already it is saturday again.

I created this collaged hanger for a friend, and hope it will soon

arrive at her doorstep.

The wonderful image is from http://www.digitalcollagesheets.com that I fell

in love with when seing dear  NANCY  from http://sugarlumpstudios.com/

using them in a beautiful creation.

I used different pieces,  like old laces, both handmade 

and machine made- papers- the top of the flower was 

attatched a gift from a dear friend. The sisters are transferred to cloth.

The beautiful nature heart, is actually  seaweed of a kind, having these lovely

endings to it- isen`t nature amazing! 

Like " my " Baltic sea this week ,where we had a huge storm,

with waves very high-my fhoto does not show it really, but it 

was a fantastic sight- Today the sun shines beautifully, but they

already again have "promised" us a huge snowstore the coming dayes!

I know many of you are screaming for spring,too...

lets hope together it will soon be here.

Welcome to new followers, I am happy to see you arrive,and 

follow me, and try to get around to say hello.

Sending you all precious friends much

love and hugs.

THE MOST WONDERFUL SWAP WITH MY DEAR FRIEND MARIE!

Some time before christmas my dear sweet friend MARIE from Lost Bird Studio, and I 

desided to wait till after christmas with our gifts for each other, and

therefore they became a spring-swap.

You can visit Marie, to see what I created for her !!!

This beautiful giftbag was what I found when opening

the packet from Marie- Isen`t it gorgeous,with the lovely

charms ! The D ,for Dorthe and the key, that she so lovely altered.

And inside...Oh sorry I jumped to open the gifts,so no photoes of the 

adorable wrappings.- but look at this sweetest charm, with my Mathilde

on one side - Marie asked for a photo and this one fitted perfectly inside.

The other side shows Marie`s wonderful mini collage,

. I so love it  and the heart you added . And it is around my neck  :-)

And oh my heart skipped when I found this gorgeous wristcuf ,- I have alwayes wanted

a charm wristcuf and this is the most beautiful one, I could ever wish for.

See the soldered charm, that Marie dearly made for me, and all the 

sweet french items attached,-I am so in love with this ,dear friend.

As if this wasen`t enough Marie also spoiled me with  a lovely tag, and the paper

spool with wonderful seambinding, and the brooch.

Some lovely napkins,old numbers,another brooch ,and ....

these wonderful embossing  folders -see how sweet there is a little charm on everything-

I am so thankful for all your gorgeous gifts to me, my dear Marie-

and I feel blessed with your friendship, thankyou from my heart for everything!

Today the weather have been so beautiful, and I had to take a walk to the beach,

where I found a lot of swans, on the quiet sea, they were unfortunately not

real near me, but I think you can see, and feel the lovely flat sea, and

them enjoying swimming in the sun.

Thankyou to all new followers, you are very appreciated and welcome-

And thank`s to all that visits my blog,-you are such sweet friends.

Love and hugs,

Dorthe
