Pastel Soft

It's been a while since I did anything shabby...
I still have a love of soft pastels and frills... creamy lace with papers tucked behind 

The Shabby Tea Room has a beautiful inspiration photo this week


That ribbon and lace speaks to my heart and has a delicate calming effect
For the first time in a long time ... I am joining in their challenge


layers of lace that fall in a natural curve...


pinks, creams and pale greens that sit so well together


... and express the soft romantic side of me

It felt good to get lost in my shabby side again

If you like Shabby ...hop over to the Shabby Tea Room and check out the lovely creations there

Have a beautiful day
