There is a lot more new items available too! If you go to the vintage finds category you will find some vintage cards that you can reuse on your collage projects and more.
Also if there is something you are looking for and you can't find, just let us know and we will find it for you! Doreen and I are always looking for vintage items for the store and have lots of resources to do so and we don't mind tracking down an item you are looking for. Remember, that all the listings in the store that has the word "Vintage" in the title are truly vintage and once the item is gone we may not find more. So if you like it you should buy it before the item is gone.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Updated!!!! Lace & Linen Tussie Mussie Kits at Ooh-La-La on Artfire! More Embellishments Added

Hi Ladies I put together an example of how you can decorate one of these adorable cones and hang it in your home. This would also be a great gift for a friend whom maybe is just starting out making altered art or collage projects. 

My Tussie Mussie Kits are packed with beautiful Tea-Dyed Authentic Vintage Laces, Pink Ballet Slipper Bouquet, Tattered in Time Tea Dyed Bouquet, Assorted Vintage Crystals and Pearls, Silver Bead Caps, 3 Pearl Stick Pins for you to create your own, Weathered Heart Locket, Cream Crystal Opaque Charm, 2 Rhinestone, 2 Cream Acrylic Stones, 6 pieces of assorted beautiful papers by "DCWV" from the Lace and Linen Collection.


Here is an example that I made using bits and baubles that I include in the kit for you and there were alot of extra goodies left over after I made the Pink Lace & Linen Tussie Mussie.  Also, I will be including extra goodies that were not photographed for more inspiration.  


These kits are limited.


I hope that you like my newest kits, I had so much fun creating them.  If you would like to have a custom kit that is not listed send me an email and I will be glad to create your own inspired Tussie Mussie.


Have a wonderful Day!


Hugs Doreen

New Template available at Ooh-la-la

Hello Beauties,

I am so excited to show you the new Mini Book Box template that is available at Ooh-la-la Vintage Treasures! My inspiration for this template was from Anna Fearer's Ustream. Doreen sent her a large book box that you can find at your local craft store and Anna altered it. Everyone wanted her to send it to them ( it was beautiful) and she said it was to big to ship. So I had decided that we need some mini book boxes! Now you can make your own way cheaper then buying them. 

I used the Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden paper to cover my book boxes. I have decided to use my mini book boxes for storage in my craft room. They are the perfect size for storing those small items that you always loss in your big storage containers ( happens to me all the time). Also you can use these little beauties for mini albums! How cute would it be to have a mini album inside these cute little boxes! The small book would make an adorable ornament for your Christmas Tree! Oh, and you can cut out the center part of the lid and turn them into shadow boxes! Okay, okay I will stop, LOL! Now I have to tell you the dimensions: Large is 4 1/2 in. wide x 5 in. long x almost 1 in. deep, Medium is 3 1/2 in. wide x 4 in. long x 1 in. deep, and the Small is 2 1/2 in. wide x 3 in. long x almost 1 in. deep. 

The Spine

 I used some of the Butterfly Garden paper to decorate the spine of the books. You could make cute labels to decorate your spine to look more like a book.

Inside of the large book

 I did a simple inside with images from the paper collection. I didn't want the inside to be bulked up because I am using my book boxes for storage.

These little books are so fun to make and decorate and there are so many different ways you can use them and decorate them!
Have a Happy Crafty Day!

Crafting with Dominos and Graphic 45 Le' Romantique

Have you ever wondered what you can make using dominos. They are great for pendants or just placed in a jar for a vintage feel in your scraproom.  I made a miniature picture frame using the wood dominos they are available at http://www.artfire.com/users/oohlalavintagetreasures

Wood Dominos
Vintage Hand Tea-Dyed Lace
Vintage Wedding Applique
Miniature Rose Bouquet Burgundy
Graphic 45 "Curtain Call Collection" Eiffel Tower Image
Graphic 45 "Le' Romantique" Collection Bride Image
I wrapped the lace around and secured the dominos as a book layered the front cover with Indian Trim and Wedding Dress Applique, a vintage metal key and a small rose complete the front. Inside I edged the images in Vintage Photo Distress Ink by Tim Holtz, wrinkled up the images and added Glossy Accents to give them a real vintage look.  I love displaying this in my craftroom on my shadowbox.
