One of my blogging friends asked if I was making a theatre for the Collaborative with
Catherine Moore, Huhm?
I am so glad I decided to join, and make such a fun project. I have always loved fashion, dolls and antiques.
It was left pretty much open for us to choose what we were going to do...
I chose an old clock case I had been saving for years for something to stage my theatre....
I am going to line the inside with old sheet music, with the theme moonlight waltz, so romantic....
I decided to crown the top of my theatre with what else....a wonderful tiara of empherma and millinery flowers...
I am having a little trouble decided which beautiful Madame will make her debut....I love them all...
I am making the stage curtains right now, so hard to choose, should I use the green, rose and French striped fabric for the drapes? I think the stripes might be a little to busy...
I decided to use this wonderful antique tile with morning glories for my stage floor, isn't it great?
Well, I am off to put on the finishing touches, When I have it all together and I better it's supposed to be
done by this weekend...I will take a picture. It feels so good to be creating Pinkie Denise
your creation is pure magic Pinkie!!! i love how you re~purposed the clock case:)

Now this is a debut theatre I would love to attend! I can see it now, everyone gathered in their finery, awaiting the parting of the velvet curtains, and the delights inside, where music, song, and word will make all cry and laugh and celebrate the joys of life and the beauty of the artist...

Hi Denise,
I was just blog-hopping around tonight and happened upon yours...I must say, I stayed thru to view your beautiful creations, decorations, family--all wonderful! What a blessing to live so close to your mom!!
I was also pleased to find out that it was your mom's house I admired so much in the recent Romantic Homes. I had just wished they'd done more close ups..of her black and white display in her cabinet..perhaps you could sometime??
I just started blogging...pop over and see me sometime!
Again, your blog was so enjoyable!
Blessings!
