Hooray for Friday...

So a week or so ago I was blog hopping and came across a challenge to use your "good stuff"...you know, the stuff you find and then hoard because you'll never find anything like it again and you want to save it for something really special. I wish I knew who's blog it was to give proper credit but here's what I made with all my "good stuff" and just my favorite little bits and pieces that I've been hoarding for myself...

I love, love, love these blue flowers, the metal key hole and the vintage hat label that I saved from a hat I took apart (it might even be the hat that I got the blue flowers from?)

I love old religious medals and pins, buttons and paper ephemera.
And I really love this fabric (wish you could see the pretty clear button better)
More of my favorite fabric and a bit of an old pillowcase.

And the Marie Antoinette look-a-like I got from my swap with Cerri of Little Pink Studio. I really love the blue pom pom trim and would have put it on every page if I could have (but you know how dumb that would've looked?)
This floral fabric is my absolute favorite and I can't find anymore anywhere.

More vintage ephemera and an old locker number.
A little chenille flower and the prettiest lace I've ever seen.

And these are all the tags tucked in the pockets and bags...although I found that I missed a pocket and it's completely tagless so I've got an old recipe card I'll use to stuff in there. Now I can breathe a little easier knowing that all my "good stuff" still belongs to me and it's all in a pretty look book I can fill with my favorite photos.
