heart the art: week 29 (falling for)

i'm just catching up on the last couple weeks of HEART the ART; ideally this would've happened *before* i did my exciting guest-host stint yesterday (thanks, g!) but better late than never, right?

actually, if i had done this one on time, it quite literally would not have been the same page, even though my idea and content are exactly the same. see, i always intended to use the prompt "FALLING FOR" to make a little list of stuff on which i am particularly keen just now, but i didn't really have a specific vision of how it would look. then yesterday, a box arrived yesterday from my mother-in-law, full of these vintage luscious linen and lace goodies...

...and suddenly i knew i had to sew a few of those gorgeous battenburg lace flowers to something appropriately funky and vintage-feeling, and it seemed like a good idea to add a bunch of gorgeous k&co butterflies, and the next thing i knew i was layering and layering and layering... (this went on for some time b/c i was in my "happy place"!) :) ...until finally i added a bit of that divine & funky mushroom colored lace at the very end and called it a night!

yeah... punctuality is over-rated!
