When I fell in love with vintage and cottage chic I also fell in love with the Robin's egg blue or Tiffany blue color. It is associated mostly with Tiffany & Co. the jewelry company famous in New York City. Tiffany Blue is the colloquial name for the light medium robin egg blue color that was used on the cover of Tiffany's blue book, first published in 1845. It has since been used for their promotional materials, boxes and decorative bags. It has a very "cottage chic" appeal to me. So I was inspired to do these wonderful bottle brush tree collections featuring the color.

  


Now through Christmas I will be custom creating these sets in several different colors, Victorian pinks, buttermilk cream or any inquiry can be made for a custom color. This Tiffany Blue set is available in my Etsy shop.

These were an awesome estate sale find, As soon as I saw them I knew I had to get them although everyone else thought I was crazy but I saw some vision in them. It really surprises me what some people let go of. I guess the saying is true about one mans treasures.
I totally re-purposed them and gave them their own little story so they are now available in my Etsy Shoppe

Theme: "A Pirates Life for Me"

Valentines..

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.  - Lao Tzu

In addition to the United States, Valentine's Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France and Australia. In Great Britain, Valentine's Day began to be popularly celebrated around the 17th century. By the middle of the 18th, it was common for friends and lovers of all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes, and by 1900 printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology. Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one's feelings was discouraged. Cheaper postage rates also contributed to an increase in the popularity of sending Valentine's Day greetings. 

Americans probably began exchanging hand-made valentines in the early 1700s. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began selling the first mass-produced valentines in America. Howland, known as the “Mother of the Valentine,” made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as "scrap." Today, according to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated 1 billion Valentine’s Day cards are sent each year, making Valentine's Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. (An estimated 2.6 billion cards are sent for Christmas) Women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines.
