Victorian Christmas

My Victorian Christmas Week is in full swing at Whimsical Musings--my personal blog!

So, come on over if you'd like to know how to make these crafts...

This is a Victorian Christmas journal...

Lots of room for creativity--and it makes a gorgeous family heirloom...

It has pockets, lace, and all sorts of embellishments...

And, there is a tutorial for these Christmas tags with graphics from Dezinaworld.

You won't want to miss the fun--and I'll be happy to see you there!!!

Sew Adorable!




Hi Everyone~

If you have ever seen this picture, then chances are that you have

been to Angela’s blog, Sew Loquacious. I have known Angela for

quite a long time and I am always amazed at her sewing talents.




Angela just opened up an Etsy store where she sells adorable

zipper pouches and I wanted to share them with you here.




As you can see, they come in all different styles!

I hope you will go over and say "hi" to Angela--
I know she'd love to hear from you!

Her blog is at: Sew Loquacious

A Look into a Special Store and an Amazing Woman

French Wicker Market
Shopping Cart

Hi Everyone!

You are in for a real shopping treat! I would like to introduce you to Cheryl, an amazing woman and seasoned antique dealer who owns a fabulous store in California. She also has a beautiful online shop for your convenience. Both stores are filled with beautiful antiques and handmade items at really affordable prices.



French Alarm Clock

“I grew up around antiques in the home and appreciate the history and often wonder how and where items were used...what stories they could tell,” said Cheryl.


“My collection of antiques and collectibles contains a variety of items, many collected when I lived in France for 1 1/2 years and in England for 1 1/2 years in the late 1980s. There are English bread boards, English rolling pins, English barbola mirrors, English bakelite napkin rings & bracelets, lots of vintage French enamelware pieces and various small items from France.”


French Antique Madonna

“I am passionate about repurposing (especially old wood furniture pieces that have good "bones") and passionate about anything from France that is ‘old.’


“I started my web shop in 2005 and have been in an antique shop space at Serendipity Antiques in Old Town Temecula (CA) for almost 2 years now," Cheryl said. "I admire the creative talents of those who repurpose and embellish common items for a romantic home decor.”
