simply vintageous...by Suzan

I didn't realize until I went to link a couple of makeovers at Debbie Doos that I can no longer party with her!!! The limit is 100 followers - and I don't know when I surpassed that number but lo and behold I have!
I am so touched that people actually take time out of their busy chaotic lives to view my little blog - and drop me a line - I understand now how important pen pals were back in the day - and how special receiving a letter from them must have been. My grandmother had a penpal from England - and though they never met, she always referred to her as her " very dear friend ". I never " got " that - couldn't grasp the concept of caring and sharing with people one had never met.
I get it now Nana....................I get it.

And now on to my 1st giveaway!!!

The winner gets this - since most of us bloggers are sentimentalists I thought this may be perfect for mementos - it measures 11" X 14" so can " house " a few things that are close to the heart.

and this necklace and earring set from Avon - compliments of

a very good friend who's sister works for the company

and lastly this Piorra

Piorra is pear in Gaelic - and happens to be the

name of my favourite store in Montreal -

it's also an ASCP stocklist.

To see more on this wonderful whimsical shop you can visit here

I purchased this little ornament not knowing who it would go to -

tonight I realized I would love to include this as a gift to one

of my followers

So drop me a line - winner will be selected by Random.org

next Monday -

Pls can someone remember to remind me, lol

And to all my " very dear friends " out there

thanks from the bottom of my heart

I decided last night to redo a piece I had already madeover - do you ever do that? It hasn't sold and I thought it was time to give it a little extra pizazz.....................it's not a drastic change but
hopefully enough to make it truly unique enough for someone to say " I've got to have this "
This isn't the first time I've done this either - I did it HERE and than again HERE - the striped one sold within 2 days of its remakeover - and someone is coming to look at the eiffel tower to use as a vanity in their bathroom.

So hopefully this will do it for this little number -
Remember THIS ? In case you don't feel like looking at the link - this is what I'm referring to

and though I did a little distressing -

It just seemed to be lacking a little something something

And now she looks like this

I added numbers -

and layered 3 more colors on top of the Paris Grey - I added a wash of French Linen -
then dry brushed Paloma - and finished with a dry brushing of Old White - the French Linen
" dirtied " it nicely I think

close up of the layered colors

So what do you think? Am I going to have to makeover my makeover of a makeover?

Ok so here's where the hilarity comes in ( once again ) I made the pom pom's for staging - but the
colors are all wrong - anyway I couldn't sleep and had to do something so whipped these up while
watching t.v.

They should have been all white - but what the hell - they're kind of fun and I actually love the Tiffany Blue
