I will be adding New Vintage China Treasures in 202

I have found a new avenue to repurpose my collection of vintage rose china. I am making Tidbit Tierer Trays. They can be taken apart very easily and stored away. I just love them...I have so many ideas of how to make them it is hard to turn my brain down. I will show you two I have done...I just love them...I hope you do, too...Hugs, Becky

Spring Is In The Air...I think..burrrrr

I keep thinking Spring is coming and then we get another day in the 40's....I am longing for the warming of the soil...of my little corner of the world...I want to get out to the fleas and look at all the unexpected treasures that pop up.
My sweet, adorable husband was kind enough to make me some fork easels for my website...of course, I have not had time to put them on but they will get there someday. They make lovely display stands for photos, tintypes and vintage postcards...I even  use one in the kitchecn to rest my receipe card on while mixing a yummy treat...which reminds me, I found  a receipe that calls for Devil's Food Cake Mix and a can of Pumpkin...that is all...the cupcakes look yummy. I really have to try them...
Here are some pictures of the fork easels...let me know what you think...

Next I have a bunch of vintage silverplate spoon hooks to embellish..I will work on them, today. So many ideas rumbling around in my head...that is the true sign that Spring is coming, now the temps outside need to cooperate.
 My craft room is full of vintage jewelry taken apart ready to be repurposed and lace by the ton that needs to be transformed into something wonderfully useful...I love the feeling that comes over you when your own Creativity Spring begins to overflow....visions of lovely every where I look.Until next time...

Check out the new clocks I added to "The Cottage" just the other day

Just added some really pretty new vintage rose china clocks to Becky's Rose Cottage the other day...something new and different...using vintage moulding, lace, parchment roses and some pretty vinage rhinestones...I am working on some silverplate fork stands and spoon hooks, too..trying to decide if I should leave them as is or add something to them to shabby chic them up....any suggestions out there?

The Passing Of My Father-In-Law

The past month or so has been very difficult. My 91 yr old father-in-law just started wearing down. I think since his wife passed in 2007 he has been so sad that he had trouble finding a reason to continue. One infection after another would happen at the nursing home. A trip to the hospital...tests, more and more medicine. He was transfered to Heartland Hospice in Hockessin, De a week ago this past Monday. On 1/20/2011 he passed into the arms of the angels. Although it was very hard because we all love him so...we could see how much work it was for him to pass. He was so weary of it all. I will always miss him, he was my last parent in this world but am thankful that God will make sure there is no more suffering for Dad. He was a very good and loving man. After the services are done I am going to try to slowly get back to my creative side...need to create some lovely pieces to pull me back to the land of the living. Sometimes that adjustment is hard to do but God does not want us to worry about those that are safe with Him now. I want to thank all my friends for all their kindness during this hard time. God Bless You All.  With much love, Becky

The Start of a New Year

Well, the Holidays are over and the New Year has begun...always exciting to think of what it will bring..what changes are in store. I have been wanting to do more work with lace. Although, I am not much of a sewer, I may have to do some learning because visions of lacy delights keep dancing through my mind. I put aside a few articles of clothing to see if I could repurpose them with some of my vintage lace...everytime I see a piece of vintage lace lately it has just moved me.
Also, I have visited so many beautiful blogs lately with giveaways to just die for...lace, vintage buttons, and whatnots. I would love to do one here in the near future as soon as I can figure out how to work it all out. I am still rather new to this blogging business. If anyone out there in blog world would like to send me some info on how I could set up a giveaway with one of those random number generators I would be so thankful. I just love the idea of bundling up some goodies to give to someone. There is nothing like receiving a package of vintage goodies in the mail...so hopefully before too long I will learn how to do it and have a giveaway of my own here at Becky's Blogging Place. Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday season that was very satisfying for you. Wishing you all a Happy New Year full of vintage glory and creative fun!
Having a really good sale at my website http://www.beckysrosecottage.com/  50% 0ff your entire order, just put happynewyear in the coupon code and click on recalculate for your savings. You spent the Holidays buying for everyone else, here is a chance to buy yourself some vintage goodies at a fantastic price. Hope to see you in "The Cottage" soon.    Till next time...Becky

Still Reeling From Being In Romantic Homes But Coming Back Down Slowly

I am still very happy about being in Romantic Homes January issue but am slowly returning to Earth. I have started cleaning the house, room by room two days ago. Today is the kitchen..biggest job of all...cannot bake Christmas cookies all next week if the kitchen is not up to par. I have taken down all my vintage cake pedestals and crystal bowls from the tops of my cabinets. Some are in the dishwasher and the rest washed by hand. I cannot believe how good it feels to get this done. I just turned on the self-cleaning oven...so at least one of the ovens will be clean as I bake next week. I still have yet to make up my cookie list. I am going to try and keep it to about 6 different kinds although I have receipes for many more than that. Of course, with 4 grown children, they all have different favorites...and the grandchildren have their favorites, too. I have the grandchildren over for sugar cookie decorating. I put aside about 4 dozen cookies for them to icing and sprinkle little goodies on them..The younger the grandchild the less icing and sprinkles that make it to the cookie..very funny to watch. This year hopefully all 8 can come over and play decorate the cookies. I am going to make some white gingerbread girls and boys for them to do using my sugar cookie receipt this year, something new..It is hard to pick every year what to make. I will have to figure it out...I think this is the year to pass on some favorite receipes to the grown children to make. I like when they take over a tradition. Christms eve was always at our home when the children were little. We would have relatives come over after midnight church services..it was a wonderful time. Love, laughter and food everywhere. Now one of my sons, Stashul and his wonderful wife, Susan have taken on this tradition with a Christmas Eve party at their home each year. I loved hosting this event but as we get older it really is special to see your children want to do it also. We usually do New Year's Eve at my oldest son's home, Donovan and his wonderful wife, Christie host that..always a good time being with family!

First Time In Romantic Homes

I received my January issue of Romantic Homes today and could not wait to see how my Vintage Memory Heart looked amoung those beautiful pages. I turned each page carefully searching for my "Heart" and there it was on page 14...so exciting, to see something I created in a magazine that I have loved and collected for years. My 11 yr old grandaughter had just stopped in after school when the magazine arrived. She was very happy to see that her Mommom's heart was published in print! I felt like a proud Momma just reading the article and looking at the pictures. I guess I just did not realize how much it would mean to be in Romantic Homes. I want to thank Jacqueline deMontravel for giving me such a wonderful opportunity. It surely made my day in every way possible. I think this issue will be placed in my nightstand after I make sure everyone in the family has seen it. It is very inspirational to see something you created in a magazine that you know so many people love to browse through each and every month of the year. I can only hope this will be the first of many such chances. Thank you, Justine Lopez who walked me through the process. I was nervous about my first time and she guided me step by step, making it a pleasure to do. I am very honored to have joined the ranks of those published in one of my most favorite magazines..Romantic Homes.

My Favorite Christmas Ornament

One year my Mother-in-law made a special ornament for all her grown children...until this ornament comes out the season does not start for me. She crocheted little sleds and on them she sat our children in their birth order as tiny little bears...brown bears were our sons and pink bears were our daughters. I will never forget when she handed me that ornament with the four little bears on a red sled...there sat two brown bears,a pink bear and one more brown bear. My children: Donovan, Stashul, Bree and Nicholas. I was so touched that she made the ornaments so personal for all of us. This is a woman who gave birth to 11 children herself but always thought of others. I have many, many of her crocheted ornaments; snowflakes, angels and even a skiing snowman who after making she said,  was so hard she threw out the pattern...but my favorite will always be my little children on the red sled..it warms me to my core every year when I see it. My very special Mother-In-Law has since passed away but has left me with the most endearing memories any daughter-in-law could ask for...so win or not..I am glad I am able to share what a wonderful woman she was with all my facebook friends. Thanks, Becky
