If you've been following my Blog for any time at all you know by now I love romantic vintage decor. I love uncovering old finds, especially those that can be refashioned and re-purposed for the cottage chic homes of today. When I stumble upon some long ignored or forgotten keepsake (especially those offered at a great price) I snag them up without hesitation. I'm sure those of you who love what I love do exactly the same thing.
~PRETTY OLD BOX IN SOFT WHITE~
Estate Sale shopping in Oklahoma can be fabulous! I rarely come away empty handed. It's always fun and most of my home is decorated with previously owned (and I'm sure LOVED!), treasures.
Last weekend I purchased this lovely vintage glove box at a local sale. I've found them in all colors...mint green, deep rose, pale pink, ice blue, but never in cream. I love them all but the ones that are fashioned in soft, pastel colors are my favorites.
I had BIG plans for the Box! Here's a little peek at her makeover...
~SO GIRLY~
After the addition of aging laces...
~SO ROMANTIC~
And vintage and older millinery flowers...
~SO COTTAGE CHIC~
And old satin and rayon ribbons complemented with aging Venise lace...
~DREAMS IN CREAMS~
And here she is! Completely re-fashioned and sooooo romantic! The perfect accent for the feminine chic lover who just can't get enough of creamy white!
If I can pry this lovely out of my hands...she'll be offered up for sale on my soon-to-be reopened website!
Blessings as you put your creative thoughts into action...

Ooo-la-la- Dreamy!
I think repurposing is one of my favorite types of art! It's so satisfying! ♥
What a beautiful job! I'm sure if the previous owner had seen your work on it, she would have swooned with ecstasy over how pretty it was!

Hi Rebecca,
What a beautiful transformation my SO talented friend. I happen to love all cremes like this as these lovelies can take their place anywhere.
Hope you also had a special St. Patrick's Day. I too hope to visit Ireland one day for my Father and myself.
Thank you for stopping by for a little smile/laugh today. I just had to share the humor.
Have a great afternoon.
Love to you,
Celestina Marie
Hi Rebecca,

Patricia :o)
Hi Rebecca, you've turned it into something so absolutly beautiful!.. it must be so hard to part with something so pretty! take care, Maryann
Oh Rebecca,
I'm again repeating myself when saying that you are so talented.
your *dream in cream* transformation of that precious glove box is indeed so romantic.
All that vintage lace, millinery flowers and ribbons are most feminine and delicate.
You did a marvelous job gal. I wish it were mine. My apartment is filled to the brim but i could certainly find a special place for it.

PS So glad you enjoyed the St. Patrick's day link I posted ... I am not sure many took the time to view this beautiful feature of Ireland by Roma Downey.
You amaze me with your talent! Absolutely beautiful!
Rebecca, you certainly have the magic touch! I didn't know these were called glove boxes, so I've learned something today.
Your embellishments are stunning.
So pretty.

Hey Rebecca. You just make everything precious and so special. I remember my grandmother having one. I especially like the white.
Thanks for stopping by. I'm like you I used to do a lot more business on ebay and have been getting tired of them for awhile. Like I say they have lost they're way and they're mind.
Hope you're having beautiful weekend weather and enjoying it.

You have such a Gift Sweetness :) Hope you are having lovely weather. It is gorgeous here. Cant wait to see your new and improved website !!
