Love Links

One of my favorite new pastimes is bloghopping – especially crafty blogs. The link parties have made this so easy now with the little thumbnails they show.
I’d love to craft more, but for now, I’ll just live vicariously thru these great bloggers.
The Graphics Fairy makes such cute things. They all look like they could be found in high end boutiques.

She not only gives instructions on how to make these fab tea towels & placemats, but also includes the clip art.
I found this wonderful french bucket she embellished at Today’s Creative Blog’s Get Your Craft On.

Just print off her graphic image, brush on a little ModPodge and you have a beautiful vintage piece. Well, I guess you need the bucket. But I’m thinking about my old watering can right now.
If you haven’t visited her site, please check it out. She has tons of free vintage clip art.
Keeping with the French theme today, Embellished Bayou posted this great lampshade tutorial. Of course, you don’t have to use french sayings. But what’s more romantic than french? In the bedroom? Ooh – la – la!

I especially love how she added simple numbers to fill in the lampshade. It really finishes it off.
I’m in dire need of a new headboard. I don’t have anything french in my house, save a few roosters, but I am considering adding a few touches. Adding a fleur de lis might be just the ticket.

MyRepurposedLife gives all the instructions to make this wonderful piece of art. I doubt if I could cut a board straight, but I’m there to paint the boards & the fleur de lis!
Well, I’m off to finish the Disney mural this afternoon. Then tonight – more linky parties!
