Where Bloggers Create 2016 ♥

So happy to be participating again this year in the

Where Bloggers Create blog party

Welcome to Vintage Sparrow Studio

I'll show you around my little creative  sanctuary ♥

I always seem to have something growing or rooting along my window sills

{avocado pits have been a favourite for years as we eat so many avocados}

My vintage metal drawers were found and gifted to me by my son.

In my favourite colour green ~ the drawers hold all my stamps and stamping inks.

Photos I've taken of the Sparrows in our garden can be found throughout.

And the sweetest little "love notes" by grandsons hands.

When you become a Grandmother

you are blessed with lots of art work & I have it displayed throughout  ♥

Everything in my studio 

has been found at

garage sales * our local animal shelter store * or curb side freebies

My Clair  Murray hand hooked runner was a lucky garage sale find!

I love to combine my Art with favourite quotes and my weavings

This is one of my favourites ...

With lots of woodland walk treasures added ...

skeleton leaves ... feathers ... pinecones ... dried flowers...acorns ...

Feathers found on walks come home with me
