Shabby Swank: The Graphics Fairy Giveth

About Shabbyswank

I rarely see anything that I don't want to embellish. Having started as a decorative painter in 1994, I soon developed a passion for re-designing, re-purposing and re-defining vintage furniture and accessories. Little did I know that someone else had already coined the phrase "Shabby Chic" and created a design empire around it...I was just taking ugly old castoffs and making them pretty again.
Working out of my home studio in Ontario, Canada, I have established a popular line of vanities, mirrors and other accessories in the Shabby Chic style as well as a line of retro kitchen ware and one of vintage Paris artwork.

The Graphics Fairy Giveth

One of my favorite blog sites is The Graphics Fairy. When I came across Karen's site, I thought I had died and gone to ephemera heaven. Sometimes just scrolling through and looking at all the posts is a calming distraction. So here are 3 of my Paris Collages that I made using some of Karen's graphics plus many others. Unfortunately the pics came out a bit washed out, I'm still searching for the best "photo" spot in my house.
