A touch of shabby, a dash of vintage, a hint of elegance and an abundance of chic! This is my world, sometimes it is elegant but more often it is shabby. It is a sweet, comfortable, french-loving world that has inspired me to create. From preloved vintage mirrors etched with chandeliers and candelabras, to hand stencilled prints of the same on lovely fabric adorned with crystals, to feminine coathangers of roses, lace & crystals and even a dash of shabby chic baby wear. Please Enjoy xxx
About Me
- Jodi
- I am a 40-something mother of three! Two big ones (21 years & 20 years) and a littlie of 17 months!! My world has gone from corporate management to nappies, sleepless nights & cuddles! I have left the coporate world behind and am now a proud stay-at-home mum! This time has brought great joy and has allowed me the luxury to delve into my creative side. Between playtime and naptime there is a creative window where I can paint, stencil, etch, sew & have my very own grown up playtime. My life is truly blessed and my blog allows me to showcase my craft & offer you a glimpse into my world. I aim to sell my creations and welcome any interest from my friends and followers. May everyone experience the joy of true happiness in life, love and family and may we all find a vocation, hobby or path that inspires us to be the very best version of self that we can be. I hope you enjoy my blog and maybe it will inspire you to learn something new, embrace those that you love and in essence, just smile! xxx

My first foray into the world of blogging - a tiptoe attempt!!
Well, I have made it - albeit a tad later than anticipated, but here I am - finally in blog world. My aim is to showcase my creations, offer advice and encouragement to any friends or followers that wish to try their hand at similar projects, to sneak in a pic or two of my world, (my home, my lover, my children, my life)!! I hope everyone gets as much enjoyment from viewing my blog as I will in posting it! Please feel free to offer me any advice, guidance or recommendations that you feel will assist me in providing a blog worthy of your time. Hopefully my 17 month old will have a nap shortly and I can attempt to upload my first photos - I must say it is very intimidating putting my 'craft' out there for all the world to see - just because I love them does definitely not mean that you will, but maybe, just maybe, someone will conect with the shabby chic feel that they represent, that timeless elegance of vintage that blends so comfortably with homes old and new alike, that can sit just as comfortably in a weathered beach house as they can a Victorian manor or even the modern sleek decor. I believe everyone needs a touch of vintage chic in their life!! Perhaps I can inspire you to add a dash of my Shabby Chic Boutique to your life. xxxx
