Calico Antiques

Hello all!  As promised, I'm finally here with a project to share... well, a sneak peek at any rate to tempt you over to the Calico Craft Parts blog where I've got a little assemblage piece for you - a little antique shop window, made using one of the many and various Craft Parts shrine kits.


These are so versatile - there are lots of different designs, and you can even order each of them with or without shelves.  And there are some other Craft Parts taking a starring role too.  I hope you'll have time to hop over and take a look at my little antique shop window, and I'm hoping I'll have time to do some blog-visiting too this week.

A house with old furniture has no need of ghosts to be haunted.

    Beautiful Alison. Must say the deep crackling had me feeling very envious it adds so much to it all. Love what you added to your shrine

    Love it! It looks old and dusty, just like old fashioned shops used to look.

    Ooh, I'm off to investigate this! I love Crackle so much. I must confess I've been buying all different brands of the stuff lately, as I'm beginning to find that different types are best for different projects. Life is becoming a bit of a quest for the perfect Crackle! Now I must take a look more closely at your project over at Calico! xxx

    Sounds like life is very busy these days. So glad you had a moment to share this with us. Love this! It truly gave me the sense of rummaging around a second-hand store looking for a steal. Such wonderful elements in your shop window (gorgeous crackled butterfly). And the outside is amazing!! I want to go play now with my paints ... but I must be off to work!! Hugs -- Mary Elizabeth

    This is a completely outstanding creation, Alison! The brocantes shrine is delicious in all of its crackliness and I can eat up all of the altered little collectibles you've displayed inside! Such a lovely little décor piece!! I Love It!! XOXO-Shari
