A shabby chic experience, or not?

So its been a few days since last. Yes, I know I said I would post the day after visiting Linneas Hage....but life interfered. So walking up to store, my heart was beating a little faster. I am exited to find new treasures and get new ideas. The store is really beautiful, not very big..but big enough not to feel claustrophbic, hehe. I am gonna say this...the store is expensive. Maybe not to everyone, but most. I noticed they sell a quite popular bracelet with headskulls for over 900kr, when I saw another design store sell them for less then 500kr. Hmmm, whos taking the most comission here I may ask. So needless to say I was dissapointed because of their prices. But hey, someone is managing having her own design store-so go girl!





I may add, i love a good bargain! Maybe thats why i found it so dissapointing?


Did manage to come up with new ideas, its a lot of fun.





In the midst of life that happend this week, iv managed to make another decoupage vase. Used my favorite shabby chic style fabric, and did my job and created a beautiful vase. A vase I had actually considered giving away..but I created this instead.

As always when my thoughts are creative, I manage to forget to take a before pic, hehe. So I think I will add that I will try next time...and I do mean try...... Its always so much nicer to look at one. When I remember thinking the same when I see beautiful creatings that are shown as the finish picture and people didnt put a pic of how the item looked to start with, I dont get so exited when I see the finished product. So people, this WAS a very unimaginitive white vase(i like white vases) without any special charm. BOORING! I am happy with the finality.

Until next time.
