Sharing A Bit of This & That

Sometimes...

going through my supplies

ends up

like this

little tray

or this

petite tray

of

unique creations

*I'm seeing a pattern here*

Nonetheless, if you need pieces like these

they are now in my shop 

I will be adding all kinds of kits

as these sell out pretty quickly

I hope everyone has a wonderful

Labor Day Holiday

Thank you for stopping by!

Kits Kits and more Kits

 In my studio closet

I have drawers & drawers

of

vintage trims & laces

I've collected through the years

and

they sure do come in handy

when I'm creating

 While I organize over & over again

I keep a special drawer

for creating inspiration kits

for others

It's sharing what I have so much of....

bits & bobs

buttons & trims

All collected in harmony

to give each piece

a chance to become

part of something 

created by

YOU

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Thank you for stopping by!

Petite Mixed Media Books

Creating with paper

was

my

first

love

layering

images

planning out each page

antique French book pages

heading to destruction

saved by art

this petite book project

forced me into more organizing

paper, scraps, ephemera

all organized now

quietly creating

a

simple

treasure

******

available in my shop

people often ask me

where did I get my blog name?

the truth is,

it was easy

I have a French friend in Chicago,

who spoke French to me,

gifted me with family laces & fabrics

She brought Pastis to our book club meeting

and

introduced us all to her culture

what is not to like?

back then I was always dreaming of a trip to France

I incorporated a little bit of France in my life

many many years later

when Google announced 

that

Blogger was free, I was in!

my co-worker in her office across from mine,

hey Rhonda, Blogger is free,

me, awesome, what should I name my blog,

A Little Bit French?

-the rest is history-

In the Studio with A Little Bit French

It has been a busy couple of weeks

in the studio

***

When you live in the desert,

you learn to adjust to the heat.

This is my studio time.

I probably spend more time in my studio

during the summer months.

I do not venture out as much.

When your car says 115 degrees,

you rush to the cool comfort of home.

I spent a lot of time creating these mini books.

It was time well spent,

I truly enjoyed the process.

These 3 mini books will be in my shop soon.

 these are just a few of the pages

 I surrounded myself with bits of ephemera,

bits of trims,

bits of scraps,

bits of fabric,

and it all came together

NEW IN THE SHOP

I did add more fabric kits to my shop

A Little Bit French Shop

Jeanne d'Arc Living Frame

double sided

I also added 

2 mini tins

with religious themed

punched images

So glad you could stop by!

I was thinking about a giveaway, 

anyone interested?
