Inspirational work spaces...

Flickr is the best! Where else can you go to get a look inside the world of such creative people and their craft spaces? If you're looking for inspiration...you're sure to find some here. Here is just a handful of amazing Craft/Sewing workspaces, rooms or studio's that I found.

Need to spruce up your Blog?

This was too good not to pass along. The ShabbyShoppe.com is a Digital scrapbooking site that sells high quality, downloadable products which includes super cute(and really inexpensive) Blogwear ~banners and buttons for your side bar links.
You can personalize them by adding your own text and photos, how great is that?
They also have a FAQ page that answers any questions you might have about how to use them. So for anyone who's been wanting to make their Blog a little fancier but didn't want to spend lots of $$$...this is a great way to do it :)

Wishful Shopping

I don't know about most people, but shopping for myself right now isn't really an option~ but it doesn't stop me from looking....which is like torture! Recently I came across a few new sites that I thought I'd share, along with a few others that I've been drooling over for years.

I bought a tattered Quilt(which I love, and just realized it's pictured here on the bottom right) about a year ago from Counting Your Blessings, this site has the best misc. Vintage items! Oh, it makes me an irritated mess looking at everything when I know I can't buy anything!!!


This next website DonnaFlower.com has the best collection of Antique and Vintage fabric. I'm not sure what I love more, the fabric or the vintage buttons.

If you've been looking for a Mannequin, or have a Mannequin that could use some TLC.... you'll be amazed with Corset Laced Mannequins. Along with the Mannequins you can also shop for other great Vintage homewares, Jewelry and Textiles.

If I ever win the Lottery, my days will be spent sitting in front of the computer ordering from these sites like a maniac!!
