Dishing up Some Vintage Goodness...

from the Nicholas Kniel Store in Atlanta, Ga. This is an odd assortment of frippery that I picked up from this amazing store last Saturday. Millinery flowers, silver boullion, dresden will all be used is some project or another!

Or they can sit in a silver vase in the studio until inspiration strikes... spring is coming, after all.

but, first February will arrive, bringing Valentines Day with it. These little posies will make a fine offering don't you think?

Adieu, mes amis!

Hands Full....

of buttons! Vintage buttons that have been dyed yellow by moi! What shall become of them? For now, they will rest in a jar...waiting to be used in a special project.

Curious?

A New Year A New Season

Sending you a belated Happy New Year wish! Much has been going on in the realm of the glitzy pixies, eventhough we have not posted as dilegently as we should... Gerri has been hard at work on the home front shabby chicing her home. Hope has been hard at work bringing photography bliss to many a bride and groom.

New Seasons: Alas, due to the practicality of earning a living I (Gerri) have had to work more hours away from home and studio and have not been able to create or develop workshops. Actually we have come to the sad conclusion, that we will have to postpone the workshops for a time... hopefully not to long.

But do not despair we will be offering some little whimsies on our etsy store and promise to let you know what we are up to, dear blog friends.

Fit for a Princess!

Thought I would share some pics of the latest glittery delight a certain glitzy pixie whipped up for a little girl's birthday party!

The little darling turned ...
and was having a butterfly themed party...

She was gleefully delighted with her butterfly crown.... as any princess would be.

Oh... there may be an extra one of these lying around if your interested!

Chapeaus!

You may have been wondering what I (Gerri) have been up to while Hope has been working for her worthy cause. The answer is knitting! I have recently added two hats to our etsy store.

This super, soft pink, slouch beret~

Here's a little close up so you can see the embroidered details. Oh, and that is a vintage button my dears.
This one is my favorite~ A charcoal gray tweed with crocheted flowers, and vintage millinery leaves!

Of course, a little bling added in the form of rhinestones!

Don't you think my model looks like Lorelie Gilmore, from the sitcom Gilmore Girls?

Actually, she is my daughter Joy. Check out her blog, Whimsy Wedding Bliss, you can see what else I've been up to lately.

Hugs, Gerri

Hope and the chick-fil-a chicks successfully completed the 60 mile 3 day walk for the Susan G. Komen foundation. Their team raised close to ten thousand dollars! So, thanks ladies, for all those who donated to the cause!

~ HIP HIP HURRAY FOR THE CHICK~FIL~A CHICKS

Walking for the cure!

The chick fil a chicks have been busy training for the Susan G Komen 3 day walk for life! It's a little more than a week away, eeek!

Even more grueling, is the fund raising... Hope is soooo close to her goal!

If you would consider, dear blog friends, helping her reach her fund raising goal, and in reality being part of the truly noble goal of finding a cure for breast cancer, I along with the chick fil a chicks, would be eternally grateful!

Oh... the donation link is super easy to use... so easy I could even use it!

Thanks and bless you, for being apart of Hope's journey!
