Simply Neutrals #23 - French girl


vintage French postcard at AppleApricot


Don't you just think this is one very beautiful girl?
She adorns an antique French postcard.

I did show her earlier, together with other thrifty finds, which you can find HERE.


FEATURES OF SIMPLY NEUTRALS PARTY #22

The image of another beautiful vintage lady was used by Marie of Lost Bird Studio in this gorgeous fabric collage below.



Marie hasn't decided yet if it will become a card or a book cover.
Either way, it is so gorgeous, Marie!

Speaking of vintage photos, here's one cutie that Nancy of Sugar Lump Studios used. She added it to this gorgeous shadow box:




I am totally in love with those beautiful vintage spools with lace!

And speaking of boxes, Nicola of Paper Profusion generously made a wonderful tutorial for this beautiful trinket box:




Thank you so much for your generosity, Nicola!

Here's your featured-button ladies:





On to party #23!

    Dearest Wen, I'm so happy to be linking with you this week. Life has been a bit of a blur lately, and I didn't really have anything lovely to share. I've caught up now though, so hope to be visiting often! Love, Mimi xxx

    OOPS! Forgot to include my comment about the 'featured' artists work~ Marie is true to the vintage style and touches my heart with everything she does! So soft and moving; always draws me in. Nancy's box created inspiration in me! I love the spools of lace and creativity she brings, and I often want to emulate her : ) And I was able to visit Nicola's blog for the first time to see her beautiful work and some close ups of this incredible box she has transformed! Wen, thanks so much for encouraging all this inspiration in your SNT party's! : ) Karen O

      Lol :) Thank you, sweetie, and yes, I love how Marie and Nancy are so consistent and unique in their creative style. So happy Nicola linked up also, for otherwise I might never have come across her beautiful art! And I might never have come across your beautiful art either, were it not for the SNT parties :) Hugs xx

    I'm sorry for my late arrival, I was away on hols last week and the wifi signal was terribly poor. Thank-you so very much Wen for including my trinket box in your lovely feature. So delighted to be included amongst such very talented company. Marie and Nancy's projects are exquisite. Very best wishes and thank-you again, Nicola x
