Happily Ever After Flashcard Garland

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 20:55:06 -0500

$30.00
A sweet little garland from flashcards I have created to form the sentence, "and they lived happily ever after the end." They are strung together with aged cream seam binding with a vintage silver glass bead between each card. The ends are 20 inches, each side, of seam binding strung with three more silver beads. Tiny vintage silver glass glittered stars and vintage cream silk crochet thread twine add just a little extra fun and sparkle. A sweet little glass glittered heart on the last card seals the deal.

Perfect to hang at the Bridal shower, on the front of the Bride and Groom's table or any other special place you can think of at the wedding and reception. Easily carries over to decorate the Newlyweds home. Where would you hang it?

Length of cards together is about 36 inches.

Custom garlands are always welcome, just contact me through the Conversations link and I'll be happy to spell out your favorite saying or customize a garland to fit your wedding colors. It's your day!

Framed honey I'm home flash cards

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:14:29 -0500

$22.00
The ORIGINAL one!

You saw it on a shelf in her family room, her gorgeous, French-fabulous family room. You asked me to make the same flash cards for you so you could display them in your home, too. Bring a little http://www.theoldpaintedcottage.blogspot.com to your home. And then you asked if I could frame them for you, and with Jennifer's blessing, because you must always ask permission, I now bring them to you.

"honey, I'm home"

How often have we said it, upon returning home after a whirlwind day? How many times have our drooping spirits been lifted when someone dear answers" Now here it is framed to prop up on a shelf or hang in your entryway.

And spelled out in the upper right hand corner is the phrase, "the best part, of everyday, is coming back to you"

Frames are distressed black and styles will vary. They are found at thrift stores and given a new purpose. All will be 8" x 10" interiors with my most favorite natural nubby cotton as the backing.

If you would to order just the flash cards go here to place an order of six cards...

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31421682

I hope they make you smile like they do Jennifer, and now me, as I walk past mine everyday.
