About a year ago I stepped into Amazing Grace, our local antiques store. The shop had been in business for a few years before I ever stepped across their threshold (don’t ask why it took so long … I don’t have an answer). Since that first visit, I’ve made several purchases … the prices are so reasonable! My fave purchase from Amazing Grace Antiques is my white bedroom dresser.
This little DREAM banner came in the mail yesterday.
I bought it on Etsy. I want to start making these little banners.
I love paper crafts. I just don’t have time to create them.
These little birds came home with me on recent shopping trip in Geneva.
The bottle on the right was made by Rosemary, whose blog you can visit at
Villabarnes.
I discovered this numbered bottle in her booth at Kane County Flea Market.
I love the “old world” finish of Rosemary’s pieces.
She made this jewelry box, as well.
My hubby liked the bottle too. So much so, he dug up a bunch of old bottles for me.
He brought them all home from a local farmer’s old dumping spot.
The bottle on the left is my creation. I used a mix of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint colors.
Old White was used for the base coat, and then I dry brushed Paris Gray over it.
The Happy Easter tag was a surprise included with the DREAM banner.
Now that my bedroom dresser is wearing some new bling …
Sweet Dreams are a sure thing.
Your new dresser is just beautiful!!! Your old painted bottles are so pretty too! Love them :o)

The DREAM banner is so sweet. I actually love that dresser…the detail on the two top drawers – how cute.
So pretty! I love the birds and the bottles!
The vignette on your beautiful chest of drawers is just perfect! Love the banner too!
That banner is cute. They’re so popular right now too. I like how your bottle turned out. Rosemary makes some pretty things. It’s nice that you were able to shop at her booth and see her things in person. Looks like she inspired you too.
Love the white dresser and the spring vignette!
Gorgeous for spring! I really like the paper covered birds. Wish I had time to craft!
Your dresser looks wonderful all dressed for Spring. I love your banner!
Such a pretty dresser. Love the banner, and like what you did with the bottle and the cute birds, so pretty covered. Great spring vignette. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday’s Best!

Those little birds are just too cute! I ran into Rosemary at the fair as well. I really had no idea she was somewhat local as well. Small world. Thanks for sharing, liz

Beautiful pieces and arrangement! Love those birds!
Your dresser looks so nice! I have the same bird that sits on the turquoise spindle and love it!
BEAUTIFUL dresser and great accessories! love how you put it all together.
Wonderful! I love the crisp white background, all the pretty flowers, the pastel colors and the uncluttered arrangement. The Geneva birds are fabulous – is that paper mache?
The dresser is beautiful and I adore the “dream” banner and the vignette. It’s all charming! Thank you for sharing at Potpourri Friday. Your participation is always appreciated! Happy St Patrick’s Day!
Love Rosemary’s work and her blog
