Fluffy Ruffles





I'm a real girly girl and cant get enough of poofie, froofie things.
( but believe me I do have my moments where I'm not so froofie)


I would love to have my whole house filled with things that have fluffy ruffles!
Don't you just love the way those 2 words sound?(Try saying fluffy ruffles three times fast :)


I think my love for all things pretty and pink started when I was young and I dyed my aunts white poodle pink. (don't worry the dog was fine but my aunt wasn't happy)


Since that time Ive always liked pretty things.


I always wanted a daughter to do all the girly things I always wanted to do, but ended up having 2 sons who I adore and will have to wait patiently for granddaughters(hopefully shes not a tomboy)
Until that time you all will have to be my guinea pigs (I mean that in the nicest of ways)


Ill take all my froofing out on you and hopefully make lots of things you'll adore.


My first item is the lamp shade above. Its not for sale because I made some mistakes on it but I have more of the materials so I'm going to do another one that I plan on putting on the website.


I made it from vintage little girls dress, vintage lace and millinery from an old hat.


So I hope you don't mind if I consider you the little girls I never had ( that does sound better than guinea pigs) and I will try to give you lots of beautiful things to adorn yourself and home with.
hugs,
Sandy

What can I say but I'm with you! I love, love, love and fufu too! Pink frilly, glittery and lacy and I'll take it.

Your photographs look good enough to eat. Ice creams colors! Pink, of course, my favorite.
