Primp Your Stuff Linky Party #73




Happy Wednesday! It's time to link up all your fabulously primped projects, including anything you have made, or made to look better, or anything you have found to {primp} your space.



Look at these beauties from last week's party:



Pretty white touches by Common Ground.




I'm loving the detail of this super pretty vanity by Dear Emmeline.


 

Thanks so much for the inspiration!

Primp Your Stuff Linky Party #72 and Happy Thanksgiving!




Happy Wednesday! It's time to link up all your fabulously primped projects, including anything you have made, or made to look better, or anything you have found to {primp} your space.


Twigg Studios' winter wonderland bauble has me in the mood to get started on some Christmas projects.  This combines two of my favorite Christmas-time images: bottlebrush trees and deer.




So cute!


 

Before we start the party I just want to say Happy Thanksgiving! 
I hope everyone has a great weekend.  I really am thankful for everything in my life right now so my recent project says it all.






I am also thankful to my wonderful sponsors:




Maison de Michele




French Bleu Vintage




French Charmed

a bookpage fall mantel, and the Maison de Michele giveaway winner

I've got all the Halloween decorations put away and this is what I came up with for my fall mantel.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I went with a simple vintage book theme with a few mini pumpkins grown from our garden.
 
 
 
 
 
Old book bundles surrounding my new shabby, chippy mirror I picked up last week at the thrift store.
 
 
 
 
 I love how pieces are chipped off of it, although I realized I have to be really careful when cleaning the mirror, as more and more pieces were splintering off.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Go here to get the pattern to make your own bunting. 
 
 
 
Here's a full view of the main wall of the living room.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

And now for the winner of the $50 Maison de Michele  shop giveaway:
 
 
And the winner is ...
 
 
 Maureen Hayes 
 
Congratulations Maureen!




keep primping,
 
 
P.S. Come back tomorrow for the start of my Primp Your Stuff  Linky Party, and ...
