It's in the mix!

One of the things I love most about cottage chic/found decorating is the way new & old things complement eachother. I am seeing lots of that same concept in the collage art that my friends & I have been working on. It all started with the crowns and has migrated into so many other things. I so enjoy digging through mounds of fleamarket fodder to be pleasantly surprised by even just one piece of treasured vintage paper! My sissy & I have amassed a nice batch of old photos as well! The picture here is just an example of the new/old vintage blend at the shop. "Whimzy" (formally Petals & Greens Cottage) is full of old things given new life by vintage inspired creativity! I am so lucky! Not only can I create and put it in a pleace for others to enjoy, but I get to meet others that love & often create similar arts!
