This decoupage cuff bracelet is a one of a kind piece made using paper, ribbon, fabric flower pieces,a vintage rhinestone button and a piece of original ephemera from an antique music book. I love to mix black and white prints.

The piece of ephemera that I cut out from an antique music book is a refrain from a song about looking on the bright side. It says...
" Our sky may be dark,and our path may be drear,
Yet hope, like an angel of mercy, is near,
And softly she whispers, as onward we glide----
'The sun is still shining--- look on the bright side. '"
So naturally I thought that a flower should be the focal on top of the bracelet :=)
The old vintage rhinestone and black plastic button still shines brightly in the center of the flower.

The cuff is 2" wide and is finished with a few coats of polycrylic but you will still not want to immerse this in water.

I started out with some lovely stars and stripes fabric that I acquired from a wonderful seller:) I added an array if vintage red white and blue buttons and stitched them onto a 2" by 7" metal cuff. Lastly I used some cream thread to embroider a button hole stitch around the edges. The cuff is slightly adjustable.

Talk To The Hand vintage glove Pillow

I saw a pillow like this one on Pinterest awhile back and knew at that time that I had to make one of them for myself. :) Since I was putting it on my sofa..I used some left over fabric I had from my drapes. I added a cream colored vintage glove and also a couple of vintage buttons for a "ring".  Super simple and I think they are pretty cute.
