Vintage2Glam is my idea of reusing vintage goodies, and turning them into something Glam. I love taking vintage finds, and make them modern with wonderful colors and a vintage twist..... love to incorporate them into my own vintage inspired art an accessories. Pleased to say that my jewelry was worn my Ellen Burstyn in the movie "GRETA" starring Ellen and Hillary Duff filmed in historical town of Ocean Grove N.J.

Getting Ready..........


We are expecting two very special guests today......so I was a busy bee cleaning the house, I straightened up, vacuumed, washed the floors in preparation for.......guest #1

this is Penelope....she belongs to my friend Megan.....

Penny was enjoying the front lawn....

and having fun running and smelling all around.....

she loves her mamma, and enjoys traveling around with Meg

 I heard she even likes the beach....who knew....pigs like the beach......

one of her favorite things is to get a belly rub.......you scratch her belly and she gets weak in the knees and falls over......

and is memorized by the rub.....ha ha ha............ she is too darn cute...look at her hooves hot pink to match her outfit....Meg you crack me up..........

she really is a sweetie............

 we introduced her to our Shelby..........
 
I don't know how you can get any work done cause all you want to do is play with her.....


she has such good manners and Megan has been working with her on some tricks..............its amazing how smart they are.....

checking out her choppers.....and that sweet nose......

I was interested in her adorable markings

you can see her pink skin underneath and then white hair and black spots....

Miss Penelope you are welcomed to our home any time, you were the perfect little guest....Now we are waiting for guest #2 our son Ryan who is visiting us from Florida......sorry that today Ryan you are guest #2.....

Vintage Book Art Class

so LUCKY to have a great group of women and one very young inspiring art teacher  at my Vintage Book Class yesterday...

I had the table set with examples of  book art that we were going to learn how to create...
 
its awesome that you can fold book pages into interesting altered book sculptures, paper flowers, banners you name it......
 
this is one of the youngest students I ever had take my class... Maddison age 7 was a delight to have, she folded book pages right along with the rest of us gals.. and informed me that when she gets older she wants to be an Art Teacher.....which I was so happy to hear....          



















 



I shared all my tips and secrets on Book Art....

I love these ladies Louise, Sandy and Donna all being good students and listening very carefully....

   then we got busy...... man did we make a mess...............

but who cared because we all had a ball...
 
Rhonda and Renee` were busy folding.....

 
so was Catherine and Nance .......

.....Sandy took off and made this adorable card....

Donna was busy creating her flowers....

Susan showing off one of her paper flowers.....
 
Susan, Rhonda, and Renee` were busy creating and having a good laugh or two....
 
thanks, Maddison, Rhonda, Renee, Louise, Sandy, Donna, Nance, Catherine, and Susan for a great class you were all excellent students and a delight to teach.......and I couldn't have these classes with out help from Mary, Bob, Julian, and Anna.....thank you all for all the work you do behind the scenes....
 
Julian you certainly have a green thumb.....the gardens are spectacular.....


Vacation LOVE...................

it was so nice to get away to visit my family in Florida........
I LOVE looking at the clouds from up above.....
and  LOVE gazing at the ocean........

and LOVE walking on the beach......

and LOVE seeing my son, who I hadn't seen in months....

and LOVE playing golf with my other son and his girlfriend....

and LOVE painting at the beach......

and LOVE not seeing a human on the beach......

and LOVE snapping pics of tropical flowers.....

and LOVE saving these pics for art inspiration......

and LOVE riding my bike everyday down to this beach.....

and LOVE watching the palm trees sway in the warm breeze....

and HATE packing to leave, getting stuck on the airplane on the tar mat for hours before we can take off....and LOVE that I had my I-pad to pass the time......and LOVE that we landed safely....

and HATE leaving one of my favorite places.....
and LOVE my family and thank them for a wonderful vacation......
