I have a new header!
Put it up a couple of days ago, but I wasn't sure if anyone had noticed...
My sweet little Dollartree birds!
Aren't they wonderful?
I just needed a change...something lighter, something brighter.
Something which says Spring.
Did I achieve that?
Oh, and I'm teaching myself to make mixed media tags, thanks to the inspiration of people such as
I spent the other day tea staining a TON of large shipping tags, baking them, and then stamping them. Tonight I began to add embellishments, and I'm hoping I'll have a finished product to unveil in a day or so.
And I would be remiss if I didn't remind y'all that my
Paris Flea Market Giveaway
is going strong now until March 31st...
I'm filling up a BIG hatbox full of flea market treasures, many coming straight from the fields of Warrenton during my week long stay there for Antique Week.

Grabbed your button for my sidebar! What a fantabulous giveaway... especially for those of us dreaming of Warrenton! Have fun with the tags, I've been doing a little of that myself lately, working on some new etsy stuff, having fun! Love the banner I cannot believe you got the birds at the dollar tree. Theresa
Anne.. great new header there.. almost looks like your getting ready to start 'tweeting' soon.
I'm snagging your banner for my site. Nice give-away my dear.
With love,
Olivia
I DID notice your sweet birds in your header and can't believe they came from Dollar Tree:) They are Spring sweeties! Oh honey, I can't wait to see the tags... I know they will be gorgeous! Have a blessed day Dear Anne! Hugs from Georgia!
Hi Anne...I guess if I don't bake sweets I might as well start baking tags! Enjoy your day!
I wish I had known about blogging and these wonderful markets when I was in Dallas for 9 months a few years ago. It would have made my time so much more enjoyable. I got tired of hanging out at malls to waste time. I would have been in heaven. Who knows...I might have decided to stay.
So tell me about the baking part! I get the tea-staining, but what does the baking do? Just curious!
Aren't those little birdies the cutest? I love mine too! Ever so often, I find something wonderful at Dollar Tree! It's usually a new pen, because I have a thing for pens. But I went back three times to buy more of these little birds! They are such a treat for a buck!
Your giveaway sounds awesome! I love surprises! I bet you are getting excited for Warrenton!
Love ya!

i love your new header! I change mine all the time......I get bored! LOL!... I love your background too.....
Your new header was the first thing I noticed. I haven't been around for awhile. I just love those little birds. My Dollar tree didn't have any that cure, maybe I will try a different store.
I am definitely going over to your giveaway. How generous of you to think of us while at Warrenton:)
Have a great week.
I ALWAYS notice headers ... I change mine often, maybe too much because you're right, a lot of times they go un-noticed ... oh well ...
it's still a thrill do do ... like getting a new dress.
I'm off to the dollartree ...my little chickadee ... lova ya
I realy like your new blog banner, Anne - very springy!
I have those same exxact birdies, arent they just so cute.I love anything with birds.
Im a follower and I am taking your button for my sidebar.
Happy rest of the week!~~Becky
Are you making these tags for price tags for your antique booth? They are really pretty but a lot of work! Love your birds!
Your banner is very cute. I can't believe those little birds came from the Dollar Tree!
Sounds like a fabulous giveaway...I'm already a follower.

Hi Anne!
I LOVE your new banner. You've achieved your goal of light, bright and SPRING! Your little birds are adorable.
Have a great day, my friend. We're going to spend today traveling back home from Wisconsin. (We're flying, so other than security, it won't be so bad.)

Oh I did notice and mentioned it the other day when I posted. I love those little dollar tree birdies and I have one of them myself. I love the new header! Love the tags....very interesting.
You bake the shipping tags after staining them? I didn't know that. What temp?
I ended up with 2000 (that's right) #8 shipping tags. The company lost my order, it was reshipped and then the lost order that had been sent back to the warehouse was shipped! So now I have 2000 tags (some are for sale in my Etsy shop TarnishedRose) but I have a lot more I need to do something with!!!
Yes, I noticed your new header. Did you spray paint the little birds?

I LOVE your new header, Anne! I did notice it yesterday, but forgot to mention it--so sweet & springy!
Looking forward to seeing what you create with all your newly stained tags--I'm sure they'll be gorgeous!
Hope your day is just wonderful!
Hey girl! The header is lovely!
Making tags, huh? That is SO fun!! We can't have too many tags -- ever -- in my opinion! :)
How exciting for you to be going on a flea shopping spree!! :)
I'm sure whatever you pick up will be great!!
Have a supa-dupa week!
Ruth
Love your new header! Aren't tags fun? I like anything collage-y. I tea stainted some of my last ones too, but as I'm using printed paper (left over from child's project) it doesn't show. I haven't added fabric yet, just beads, stickers, more paper, and stamping.
The new header looks so nice & fresh. I was thinking its time for a change as well. It always seems to be such a huge undertaking to start. But the end result is great and it was never really that hard to do. Have a blast at the fleas ~ I hope you find something amazing. Now lets see those tags:)
I noticed it yesterday, but go so excited about your fabulous giveaway that I forgot to mention it. I must go to Dollar Tree today!
Love your new header/banner! You change it up often, doncha? :)
I generally catch ya in my reader (no banners shown there)
You always have the best giveaways, and this one is no exception. Glad I'm a follower so I won't miss a chance to win! I am not particular as to what you pick up. I know it will be awesome!

Altho I loved your last header, I think this is precious. Spring is on it's way and the birds are just the right fit, Char
Wow, Anne, I miss visitng your blog for a couple of posts and things go crazy! A giveaway, a new header - I love it all! The birds are "tweet"! I changed my header a little, too, a few days ago, lightening things up with the promise of spring. I put your Paris Flea Market button in a post (I already have your F&T button on my sidebar) and I hope lots of people come and see the fun you have going there at F&T. Happy Spring! (soon)
Blessings,
Laurie
Anne amor, I actually love the new header :) I think your lil birds are just adorable! I think I will make a lil trip to my Dollar Tree and get me some, they have some of the neatest things there :) I meant to ask you, where ever did you find that teeny tiny lil flower frog? I love it :) I have many sizes but nothing that small. Besos, Rose
