A Handmade White Wednesday


Happy Wednesday!

I wanted to share with all of you two gorgeous gifts from my
super sweet and talented friend,
Lisa from Bilancia Designs.


Lisa is an incredibly gifted artist
who specializes in exquisite handmade paper creations
and more...
cards, invitations, gift tags, and all inspired by
and incorporating natural elements.

She recently gifted me with the "more" in the shape of this
 handmade kissing ball, which I think looks simply amazing
in my dining room.




And the lovely Lisa also sent me this
darling handmade star made
from vintage buttons...




Crazy about these white lovelies,
thank you so much for the housewarming gifts, Lisa!

I'll be featuring more of Lisa's incredible work in an upcoming post,
but please be sure to check out some of her other handcrafted offerings on
her website HERE.

 
New and improved website coming soon!

Happy White Wednesday!

  1. Hi Anne Sweetie...
    How wonderful of Lisa to gift you with such delightful housewarming gifts. I love them both. The ball is important to keep that spark alive at all times, I mean who can't use a little kiss every now and again.

    Now that star is perfect for dreaming about what you want to change as you go along, and wishing that the projects were already done.

    I can't wait to see more as you share. Have a glorious Wednesday sweetie. It is always so wonderful to pop in. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
