Gosh another month has flown by, dare I say it will be Christmas before we know it, yep I can , because it will !
A new month means a new challenge. The new challenge at AFSC is to close your eyes and pick up three things on your desk and create a layout. Well I didn't really close my eyes as I would probably stab myself with a pair of scissors or something , but I have used three things from my desk.
A Woman Should Be Two Things
This is my Aunt, my Mum's sister. The three things from my desk are ~ The round material piece under my photo is from a old vintage hat that was covered with flowers ( I actually wore the old hat on my daughters Christening day ) and the flowers on my layout are from that hat that I unpicked them one by one. There were quite a lot of little flowers on the circular piece , but I have gradually used them. The old thread was on my desk as was the old pink button. Oh and the 6 x6 vintage Paper under the photo was also on my desk.
I hope we have inspired you with this challenge to create a layout from bits and pieces that you have sitting on your desk just waiting for a home.
I will leave you with a photo of the old vintage hat, (it belonged to my Aunt) I think my daughter was mortified that I actually wore it on her christening day. I wish now that I had a close up of the beautiful details of the hat.
Love , Peace and Happiness

Well, personally, I think that 'old hat' is not 'old hat' at all....I think it looks really stylish. I do adore that sort of 1920s look.... Phryne Fisher and all that! And now you've put it in the right place - on a page with the lady herself. how neat is that! AND that photo of her is soooo stylish, too..... as always, love your romantic shabby chic side when it comes out to play like here! fab challenge, too:):)
Very classy and elegant. :)
Cute hat Mary.A gorgeous shabby chic page.
Oh wow that hat looks so lovely and it would have been so stylish! Beautiful layout, you do vintage so well... So many lovely elements!
Oh I love the old hat! So great that you can utilise it rather than throw it out too. What a fab challenge - you sure nailed it!
