Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours...

Posted by csdferwEHRTJR Jumat, 12 Februari 2010 0 komentar

Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Pink Saturday! As we prepare to share a day of love with our spouses, boyfriends, and significant others, I thought I would share a little of my home decor with you. The sweet little bisque doll above has her quiver at the ready just for our special romantic day.

I just purchased this incredible hand painted Limoges trinket box from the amazingly talented china painter, Sara Miesner of Our Cottage Garden. Although this beauty resides with me, you can find similar items here.

Colorado Springs artist Stan Awbry painted this most delicious cherub and roses painting. It resides in my pretty parlor. He really has the spirit of the Victorian rose painters down-and he's a guy! Go figure...

These little sweeties grace a bookshelf that, until last week, held primitive salt glazed crocks. I think this better reflects who I am right now. I smile everytime I look at these little darlings...

Lastly, I have made up this pink wooden heart that is covered with a mosaic of vintage china and one of my original collages under glass. It brings a smile to me every time I look at it and, if it makes you smile too, it can be purchased here.

I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day with your special someone. Before you do though, be sure to pop by Bev's place at How Sweet the Sound and check out the other Pink Saturday participants. It should be an awesome week to make the rounds!

Until next time,

MAC Viva Glam Gaga swatches & mini-review

Posted by csdferwEHRTJR Rabu, 10 Februari 2010 0 komentar

Love Lady Gaga. Love MAC. Love pink lipstick. So needless to say, I'm loving this. For those of you not familiar with the MAC Viva Glam campaign, 100% of the proceeds of VG products go to the MAC AIDS fund.
This color is really nice. It's a lustre formula, but the payoff is great. It's very shiny and can be applied sheer if you use a light hand, but the color builds very quickly to a very noticeable, but wearable pink.

The release date for this seems to be different all over the place. So just call your counter or store if you're unsure of it's availability. But it is available at maccosmetics.com already.

on left, I built up the color a little
just one swipe on right

(natural light, no flash)

Totally didn't plan the matching nail polish. It's the shade "Barbie" by Zoya.

Essie Damsel in a Dress

My current favorite nail color...

Essie's Damsel in a Dress

Such a deep, unusual color. Looks amazing when topped with a super shiny topcoat like Seche Vite. It creates this gorgeous, shimmery depth. Love it.

...Also, I'm a sloppy painter when it comes to dark colors. Don't judge.

Beyonce Grammys Inspired Makeup

Posted by csdferwEHRTJR Senin, 01 Februari 2010 0 komentar

Products Used:
MAC Painterly Paintpot (cream shadow the color of your skin)
MAC Blackground Paintpot (cream shadow in a matching shade to your eye shadow-dark gray/black)
MAC eye shadow in Print (dark satin gray)
MAC eye shadow in Soft Brown (warm medium brown)
MAC eye shadow in Mylar (light satin cream)
MAC eye shadow in Carbon (matte black)
MAC fluidline in Uppity (dc'd, but any gold liner will work)
MAC eye shadow in Ricepaper (light yellow-golden satin)
Cover Girl Lashblast mascara
NARS powder blush in Madly
MAC lipstick in Creme d' Nude
MAC lipglass in Viva Glam V

*While Beyonce's skin is darker than mine, I used the same shades and intensity of gray on my eyes. So it looks a bit more intense on me. However, if you have skin that is lighter or more fair like mine, you can definitely tone down the intensity of gray. So substitute a lighter gray eye shadow and base for the darker shades for a less-intense effect.

The Beauty of Buttons

Posted by csdferwEHRTJR Jumat, 29 Januari 2010 0 komentar

Susan is one of our dear customers at Our Cottage Garden.  A while back, she shared some of her incredible hand painted button collection with us and I asked her if she would do a guest post for me about her love of these magnificent little pieces of artwork. Susan is a dealer of fine porcelain on Ruby Lane and her beautiful wares can be found here.   She graciously agreed and her thoughts are below. Enjoy swooning over the pictures on this lovely Pink Saturday and when you are able to catch your breath again, pop on over to Bev's, our hostess with the mostess and visit some of the 167 other Pink Saturday participants.  

I am fairly new at collecting antique items; I started about 12 years ago collecting pottery. I loved the warm feel and the individuality of each piece. But when I bought my first piece of hand painted Limoges porcelain – I was hooked. I became a P.A. – Porcelain Addict! I rapidly sought to fit in some antique display cabinets in a rather small house that was already over loaded with furniture. A few select deletions, and I had found a space here to fit in a cabinet and a space there to store my ever growing collection of Limoges. When we had our kitchen remodeled, I added 3 display cabinets to the plan – who cares about food storage when you can look at all that beauty! One of my favorite items over the years have been collecting hand painted Limoges baskets. They range from dainty to huge; and since many of them are not painted much on the inside, lend themselves very well to filling up with buttons or pins. I have about 4 baskets now that are filled with buttons and one fruit bowl that is gradually being filled with pins or brooches. My major source of purchasing these beauties is from Our Cottage Garden – a wonderful online site that is beautifully organized and filled with treasures. I take pleasure every day in viewing my lovely pieces and appreciating the individual work that each artist put into his or her expression of beauty.
