Little Gypsies

Over at "A Vintage Affair" Septembers Challenge is to use VINTAGE LACE or Vintage Flowers on your layout

My best buds Dad has a small holding and sittting on the land is this miniature Gypsy Caravan........it is so cute...how I would love to have a garden big enough for this.....I'd buy it off him and scrub the paint work until it sang!!


The large white flower is a Vintage 50's bridesmaids headpiece from grannys trunk...seconded about 4 years ago for Georgias dressing up box and last week seconded again for my stash!!


I spied these flowers at Tillys and knew the large brown centres would be perfect for this layout. So I went all out for the rustic look, not bothered about jagged edges on the fences....nope...I'm trying really hard to be casual!! (She says with hands tied behind her back!!) I even kept on saying to myself go-on just glue it down what will be will be!!

The lace is also from the same trunk and was part of a wedding veil or communion outfit or similar.......now completely wrecked and very fragile I use it to place behind my layouts when photographing them, but after some tore off it....I kept if for gluing to the layout

I must go back and get some more photos of this.......it's full of character......imagine the long ruffled skirts she could wear!!

Love and lace
