First White Wednesday@ Marta's Room

Yuppie!!!! I'm soooo happy. Why? It's my first time participating in White Wednesday. Kathleen I'm so honor. I will be late for work today, no change of getting fire unless I can fire myself. It was a good morning gift to see my name among the participants of WW. Next Wednesday should be better because my Valentines will be up and I am doing lots of creams and whites. The above photo is some of the beading on purses. I love beaded purses, I got a collection of about 30 and I bring repeats to the shop. it's getting harder to find different ones.


I love putting vignettes together, specially under domes. I like them to be whimsical, no logic to them, just eye candy.

This pillow was @ Lonestar Mall in Fort Worth. The name of the artist is Ms Bountiful. You can see a collection of them for sale @Dream in cream blog. Vintage Sue made an altered pillow and I was the happy recipient. I will take a picture and show to you in my next WW. Dreamy is the word.

This was one of my Spring rooms last year. Can't wait for Spring since I love anything gardeny and my bunnies. Spring flowers and roses...beautiful. The only thing is that we do not get the beautiful garden with spring bulbs. They last a couple of days the most. Nothing like the gardens up north. We Texans get 2 weeks of Spring and what feels like the endless Summer: the over a 100 degree Summer. We are experiencing the coldest Winter since I move to Texas, 18 years. To us 40 degrees is freezing. We can't stop wining about it. I recommend turning on the TV and looking @ Minnesota's temperatures. We are not freezing, we just need to look pretty all layer up.

OOPS, double take and no time to fix it. I want to leave the post publish so...apologies. Blessings, Marta.
