Good day to you my Blog friends ,
This morning while Mr.B and I were enjoying our coffee,
we saw how many signs of Spring we already
have in our garden and I took some
pictures to share with you.
In my last post I told you about my preparations
for my booth at the Victorian Christmas Fair 2015.
It's my intention to keep you posted
and to share what I'm up to.
My dream is to make all of the products I sell.
I never realized I like Victorian, until I saw some
very beautiful creations in several Victorian shops
on the Internet. And when the owner of the wonderful
"Oranjerie"
in Zeijen asked me in 2012 to join her Fair
I started to ask myself two things.....what is Victorian Style
and do I have my own style......and if so
can I combine those ?
For I'd love to have a little Victorian gift shop
on the Christmas Fair....and I'd love to find myself
in what I do. So that's my journey
I hope to share with you this year.
I have been thinking a lot of what I would like to see
standing before a booth that says.........
"Hand/Homemade Victorian gifts".
Don't you immediately think 'The Paradise' or 'Mr. Selfridge' ??
I know I do.............Have a lot to do now and
hope to catch the feel I'm looking for......
of you Ladies like to see some of the process of
making and creating..........as I do : ).
It's not like a tutorial, just some shots to get the picture,
followed by two wall hangings I made this week............
Click Photo to enlarge.
Hope you enjoyed , see you next week !
With Love,
Wilma.

VerwijderenWilma,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSuch lovely items! Your creativity is so wonderful to see. I love the laces and all your lovely stitching and beading. The tiny artwork and details make each piece so special! A bit of you amidst the beauty of the rest. How like you! I knew as soon as I saw it that you made it! I saw it on Pinterest first!
Lovely job my sweet friend!
Hugs to you,
Doni
Thank you so much Doni, that is so encouraging !
VerwijderenHugs to you too !
Wilma.
Thank you for a little peek of Spring in your neck of the woods. I always love to come to your blog for inspiration, the boxes are incredibly beautiful! Jo
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you so much Jo. So nice to have you visiting !
VerwijderenDearest Wilma, your creations are so beautiful they almost make me cry. Not because I am sad but because they speak to me. How I would love to stroll along and find your beautiful art for sale in a booth. I am sure I would not even know where to start to look or how I could make a choice and pick something out to buy. Everything you touch is so beautiful.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI wanted to stop by and wish you a very Happy and Blessed Birthday. I hope your day is filled with all things beautiful.
Warmest wishes,
Beverly
Beverly !! Thank you so much ! Your words are so encouraging. So sweet of you to tell me this. I would love to have you visit my booth : ) Thank you............I didn't realize you knew I had my birthday.
VerwijderenHugs and Blessings,
Wilma.
Wilma,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThese are stunning!! I was doing Victorian Crafts too but there is not really a market for it in the area where I am living. When I go part time at work, I hope to go back to selling on Ebay.
I have many of the laces and other materials that you use so i can really appreciate the beauty of your crafts!!
Hugs,
Deb
Thank you so much Debbie ! I'm happy to have some time to work for the Fair.
VerwijderenLooking forward to seeing your creations !
Hugs, Wilma.
Hi WIlma...wow..that is beautiful! It would also make a beautiful wedding album cover! I was also drooling while looking at all your supplies and work space! I am workingon finding more "doilly" style laces too. Just something about them that says "shabby chic...but cool!".
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you so much Cheri ! Yes, I think it will. I know, I love the Shabby Chic !
VerwijderenHugs, Wilma.
Your bits and bobs of lace and jewels are beautiful inspiration.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHi Donna,
VerwijderenI really hope they are ! Thank you so much for visiting !
Blessings, Wilma.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you so much Jillian ! My pleasure !
VerwijderenGood to make new friends : ).
Blessings to you.
Wilma.
The things you make are gorgeous! I've been saving old lace and tid bits and would love to make a project like this someday. I'm going to put your blog in my artists blog list! Sweet hugs, Diane
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you so much Diane, that is so very kind of you !! Encouraging.

Your garden is very pretty with all the flowers, and your craft work is just gorgeous, Wilma.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWilma, I love this beautiful beaded lace collage. I just bought a large lot of vintage linens and Irish linens and hope to do something similar. I will also use the laces on my pillows. Your work is incredibly beautiful and I love the beads work! Wow, I am going to look around some more. Such a talent you have!

The flowers in your garden are so pretty. Oh my your lace and jewelry are so beautiful and i love old lace too.. It is drool worthy, just beautiful.. Thank your for stopping by and letting me know you liked my master bedroom reveal..it was really sweet of you.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWilma,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSuch beautiful things you make! I love your style, whether it is considered victorian or not! I have always loved making ....my style....I guess it is! My daughter calls it "County Baroque"... a bit odd I might say! I love the baroque of victorian, the tapestries and the velvets and the statues, but I shy away from the glitzy golds and the stiff collared look and the "victorian arrogance" look. Your style reminds me of my own, the soft beauties and warm colors, the inviting fabrics and pearls that warm, if any of that makes any sense! I tell her it's called "English Country", but she prefers her definition of my style! LOL
so beautiful! I did receive your email, I will get back to you, sorry it has taken so long!
hugs,
Betsy
What gorgeous pretties you make!! They would be a perfect bride's gift, or perhaps an anniversary present for the bride who's been a wife for a while. Such lovely things!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWonderful creations, Wilma! All is so delicate and full of love! It's a delight visit your blog.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHave a wonderful Easter!
Hugs and love from Portugal,
