Decorated Paint Can

I have had this paint can just sitting in my art room filled with treasured junk. It needed some life so I decorated it using lace, ribbon, ephemera, glitter glue, and vintage sheet music. I guess I should have taken a before picture but as usual I forgot. The cute little postcard, cupcakes with roses, rose cutouts, Marie Antoinette card and some of the lace, I received in my gift pack from Cassi of Cassi's Creations at the Petticoats and Parasols Workshop/Art Event. She has the cutest stuff for sale and is so talented!

A gift from Jo Packham from Where Women Create

Some of the beautiful gifts I received. The beautiful Pink Cookie is from Rose Petals and Rust. The Petticoast and Parasols pin cushion was made by my friend Charlene. Their is also a beautiful little princess wrapped in a cute little pink bag but I don't know who this is from. The last item in this pic is the cutest little girl Charm from Bryanna.

The square soap I purchased at The Paris Market and does it smell heavenly!! I opened it up as soon as I got home and started using it. The rose shaped soaps smell unbelievable! I opened one and put it on my nightstand so I could smell it those days I was in bed due to my surgery. Those I purchased vendor night from " A scented cottage".

The little bag with the southern belle is from Marilyn from Fancy Business. This bag was full of cute little things to use at the workshop. The wonderful Wristlet keychain is from Jimmypickles.etsy.com. I just loved it.

This is the sweetest little tin that I received from Peggy Vessels on Vendor Night.
