Decoupage and New Treasures

Hello darlings,

We hope you had a lovely weekend.  Our weekend was great, we had such gorgeous weather... and we enjoyed every bit of it.  I want to share with you two craft projects that I did this past weekend.  My very first decoupage candle. 
                                         (Click photos to enlarge)

I LOVE it!

This is the rose I used to decorated

the candle.   

I had so much fun creating this candle, that

I couldn't stop there...  I also made a decoupage

soap.

Front...

Back

This is the original look...

An English Lavender soap.

Now I will show you my new finds...

I love pretty boxes...

with pink roses

I'm always hunting for anything with

pink roses

We also found a big candle holder that matches perfectly

with our mantel and furniture.

A tiny porcelain box

A miniature plate of The Queen Mother

Queen Elizabeth

Displayed beautifully in company of more

blue pieces.

A lovely small vase and ...

a small bowl with pretty pink roses

By the way our knock-out roses are blooming beautifully!

How about your roses?  Do you still have them?

A lovely bouquet for you!

We found this mini candle holder

for just one dollar.

I added some crystals and candles to take

this picture, but I'll be adding a few more crystals

later on.

It's looking so pretty!

Don't you think?

I have more treasures, but this post is

 getting too long so this is it. 

Keep hunting for treasures darlings!

With lots of love,

 A pretty plate with a

cute little cottage and roses ...

The teacup is from a set of dishes that I
