With the coming of winter and the festive season upon us it is time for a change of palette. My new banner reflects just that.
The little vignette is a display of favorite trinkets. The glittery crown is by the Queen of Crowns, Donna O'Brien. She set her wonderful talent to task and created this custom crown just for me. The M stands for Miss Maddie's of course! It is a symphony of my adored colors; silver and robin's egg blue. Donna will be in Victoria magazine in the New Year.
The darling little silver soldered charms are the amazing work of Cathy Penton from Australia. I have never seen a business card look lovelier! Her work will again be featured in an upcoming issue of Romantic Homes.
All the other goodies are from my personal collections. I must also thank my daughter Jackie who's web design talent has once again been brought to the forefront.
Now I'd like to wish all of my fellow readers and new found friends a joyful -

Oh Susan ~ I ADORE your new look! What talent you have displayed in the photos!
Oh my! You banner looks pretty darn good- who knew??!! I know you ordered the crown a bazillion years ago- sorry you had to wait so long. The display looks wonderful, Susan. I love Cathy's work- I tried to buy one of her charms but it was sold. Tell Jackie she did a great job (thank God for tech saavy kids, right?)
