Here's what I did to a vintage enamel plate. I love the blue edging. I left the little chippy showing.
I made little tubes for flower seeds out of copied vintage French music. I've had this little glass creamer for years, now I feel like I have put it to good use. How cute would it be to put a real bouquet of flowers in the creamer.
I drilled (with my new dremel)holes in the plate to attach an old key and also to make a hanger on the back
I made the charm to hang from the key adding glimmer mist colors to the paper.
I then painted the quote on the rim and painted the Hydrangea and rose...adding the cutest little bumble bee. I just put this on my
Ebay.

I just love your creativity. I was rearranging my livingroom again! I added a lot of little birds. I am still eyeing your birdie pin cushions.....I know I will be adding one to my home in the near future.
Holy Moly girl.. that is just absolutly gorgeous!! You amaze me!
Laurie,
Thanks for stopping by my blog! By the looks of all your wonderful, recent creations, when do you have time to sleep?!!
I keep going back and peeking at that little pink baby shoe. Too cute! I might need that one too. You know, a pincushion for girl pins and a pincushion for boy pins! Seems logical to me.
Wishing for sunny skies over on your side of the world!

Hey Laurie! My goodness! I saw the plate and thought, "now how does she find such pretty pieces?" Well, the answer is: it wasn't pretty until you altered it! The flowers and bumble bee are lovely. I love coming by to see what you've been up to!
Hugs,

What a super neat creation you have made. I love how you incorporated a soldered charm into the design. I only have the vision to make photo charms. I love people like you with all that creative talent.
