Dress Form Find

When I had a "girls day out" with a wonderful friend last week.  We visited one of my fave stores in Morris called Vintage.  There is a sweet vendor named Barb that has a spot in Vintage.  Barb's booth is full of vintage white treasures.  I got this wonderful dress form from her booth tutu and all!

Look at the detail to this dress form.
The minute I saw this sweet dress form,  I knew I had to have it for my upcoming holiday decor.  My decor happy wheels were spinning as I laid eyes on her in Barb's booth.

She was a beauty but had this plain jane base to her.  With the house up for sale my decor crazy has been stifled!!!  I decided enough of ignoring my decor happy!   I needed a little project!
The tutu had a blush tint to it that too needed to be fixed!

Hmmmmm as I looked out the back door to the deck.  I think that chippy garden pedestal with the bird cage resting on it might just need to be re loved onto the dress form.

So with a little help from Terry and his trusty tools this dress form got a new base!

Yep! much more character to her now.

Her tutu got a good washing with some oxy clean and a cap full of bleach.  It took the blush color out of the tutu and left it sparkling white.

I also bought a couple of beautiful angel wings made by Diana from Sissie's Shabby Cottage last week.
I am doing an angel theme with my tree and decor this year.  It will be fun adding these wings into my decor theme.

I love both sets of angel wings.  I am running all kinds of ideas through my head as to how I will add these to the decor theme this year.

Diana is sooooo talented and super sweet and added this angel wing charm attached to beautiful pieces of lace in with the wings.  So I attached it to this set of wings.
If you want to see some of Diana's creative and pretty treasures  you can visit her Etsy Shop here.

My beautiful new dress form is waiting for a new pair of beautiful wings to be attached and for her to become one of the focal points in my holiday decor.

I start my decor early since my daughter host's Thanksgiving.  So as early as next week end I will begin to start to create my decor theme.

I cannot wait to unleash my decor happy and get my holiday decor started.
Everything moves at a rapid pace during the holidays so I am excited to start my decorating early.

Have a great week ahead.
