yesterday eve i got the urge to do a bit of blinging.
i do like to bling things,
indeed it would be quite true to say
anything which comes my way if it stands still long enough
will eventually be blinged.
in fact upon tippity tapping this,
i have reflected upon my life
and do believe not a day has gone by when i have not 'blinged',
such is my need to do so.
a little bit of bling,
be it on a thrifty find
or an old friend found in the cupboard,
can be just the thing
to cheer up something a little tired or lost.
(myself included)
a few weeks back,
my blinging ways
led to an old cardi having new buttons.
this old friend will now be travelling across the pond with me
in a few short days
last night's bit of time spent blinging
resulted in some clogs looking spiffy with woven ribbon detail.
just a few happy moments with some peachy ribbon
from a fabby dottie angel dearie in Holland
and a bit of good old mod podge.
i got my bling fix,
i am happy,
my clogs are happy,
now that is my kind of bling.
i think i will call it
'granny chic bling'
from now on...

Those are such lovely clogs! Wherever did you find them?! I find that only owning two pairs of lovely clogs (floral & red) are not quite enough and am always on the hunt for some new friends for my feet!
ReplyDeleteLove the bling on your sweater to! What a lovely project!
I love it! Thanks for that bit of idea, I need to try and bling some of my things, may love using them again!
ReplyDeleteI love adding a bit of bling to my things too. The be-ribboned clogs are now way cute!
ReplyDeleteThose are particularly lovely clogs - even before the granny bling chic fling (delicate placement really - but it rhymed). Where are they from please?

ReplyDeleteThose clogs are yummy, you can now call yourself a 'blingy granny' I think that sounds good! Thanks for all the inspiration you give me, :)
ReplyDeleteHi Tif, Before reading your post I had just replied to a comment I received saying "if something stands still long enough, it gets decorated", so I completely understand where you are coming from! Have a great weekend, Claire xx
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely buttons, they seem to be made for your cardigan. :)
ReplyDeleteLove all your 'granny chic bling'. It is all the perfect touch! Have a lovely weekend! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteThr clogs look great Tif! I love changing buttons on things (because it's one of the few things I can do!) Everybody makes comments on how much difference it makes! :-)

Love the blinging of the cardi and the clogs. Save yourney across the pond.
ReplyDeletemany thank yous for the 'granny chic bling' love!
ReplyDeletethese clogs are by el naturalista, they are tres pricey but i have to say, they are made ethically and from amazing materials. if you look closely you can see in the sole a little square of darker tan. this is soft area which runs through the wooden soul so it 'gives' when you walk. they are duck egg blue in colour and the inside sole is padded. the thing i love most of all though is the nail heads. clogs with nail heads make my knees go week...
and yes, they will be travelling across the pond with me, Donna!
I would so love for those clogs to live on my feet. Same for the bling. I love your version of bling--much better than scary huge shiny things (though I have a soft spot for little shiny things...).
