Vintage Prints

I love old vintage prints. . . . this girl is so pretty with her butterfly fairy wings and blush pink cheeks.

Old Soul Bears

I decided to create a separate blog for my teddy bear interests . . . both creating bears with an old or antique style and restoring poor old Teddies in need of repair. I thought the name "Old Soul" applied to both interests. My new blog will be called Old Soul Bears and can be found on blogger at http://www.oldsoulbears.blogspot.com/ .

I have some great before and after pictures of Old Teddies and their friends. It is amazing what a little TLC can accomplish : ).

Curious Creatures

This photo was recently the cute animal picture of the day on Teddy-Talk. Deer really are curious creatures! I was walking my dog today and three of them were following us. My dog has the same color fur, big ears and a white tail like a deer. I think they thought I had one of the herd on a leash!

Lilli Diamond Gown

Look what I found yesterday : ) during my treasure hunt at the local thrift stores!



A lovely vintage gown by designer Lilli Diamond ~ of California. I think it dates to the 1960s.



A silk sash with silk buttons . . .

A full chiffon shirt that swirls and billows. . . .

My daughter says she will grow !!! Fast : ).

Pretty Flickr Gallery

A fun blogging tool to showcase your interests.

A Flickr "Flash Badge" (moving photo gallery) is a great little addition to your blog. Lots of detail in just one glance. You can take 12 pictures of what you like . . . .any theme will do and then join Flickr (free). Just click the link called "what is this?" below my Flickr images and you can create your own gallery. I chose things I like around my home ~ My favorite things.

Give it a try! I look forward to seeing your photos. ~ Karen.

Handmade Lace and French Toile

Hello !

I love French Toile fabric. This little quilt is reversible ~ silver on one side and mauve on the other. It is throw size (48 x 58 inches). Perfect on a chair or at the foot of a bed.

This looks like an intricate hanky but it is actually an 18 inch table topper. It has a linen center with incredible handmade lace. Both can be viewed via my store link ~ Linens and Lace online.
