Antique Images Friday Linky Party

I am joining Carolyn's Friday Linky Party. Today I have a card that I made for my little friend Madeline. She just finished school and she has the whole summer ahead of her. I thought it would be nice to send her a card. I love this image of the ballerina riding a beautiful swan and Madeline is artistic so I thought she would love it as well.  Why not join the fun at Antique Images. Just click on the link in the previous sentence and see what everyone is sharing. Thank you so much Carolyn. Have a wonderful weekend.

Love Always,

Kim

Antique Images Friday Linky Party

I am so pleased to be able to take part in Antique Images Friday Linky Party. It is wonderful to be part of a community that puts kindness, caring and support at the top of their list. I have never met a nicer bunch of women. There are so many things that one can be involved in these days but having all the images at hand from Carolyn at Antique Images and the many others that are willing to share their passion and treasures is incredible.

 I love pink, tea, teacups, antique furniture, roses oh, I love roses, Victorian and Vintage images. I love to write and create stationery and cards to give to friends and family. Being part of this community has allowed me to surround myself with all of these things and more. Friendship is a precious gift and I am blessed to have this as well. Nowhere can you meet like minded individuals each with their own talents that are willing to share.

I am proud to be part of your Friday Linky Party Carolyn. Thank you so much.

 

 

 

I love these little birds with the flowers and the scene in the background. I think that it looks so pretty framed. You could use this as a card, or a label or as a header for stationery. This is my contribution to Carolyn's first Linky party.

Love Always,

Kim

Gorgeous Swan with Red Rose

I saved this gorgeous image of a swan with a red rose just the other day from the Graphics Fairy. I thought it was indeed worthy of a card. I am joining Brag Monday at the Graphics Fairy. Just click to see all other the other wonderful things made with Karen's graphics.

Hutch for the Kitchen

 

Here is my new hutch for the kitchen. I finally found a piece of furniture the right size and the right price for my kitchen. It is going to sit on the outside wall between the stove and the fridge. This is how it looked before I picked it up. It looked very sad and unloved. It needs some TLC, a bath, some primer, paint, new hardware and possibly some of that paintable wallpaper for behind the shelves. The only thing that I will have to move for this to fit between the appliances is the microwave; I want the microwave to sit above my stove anyway.

I have been looking for the right hutch for months. I wanted to have a hutch so that I can keep my tea things right beside the stove. I have room for the cat food, cat treats and paper products underneath and I will be able to display some of my lovely things on the shelves which are carefully tucked away at the moment. This was the start to my week. I will take pictures as I go along so that you can see the metamorphosis. Have a great day.

Love Always,

Kim
