The Vintage Beginning

This Blog is inspired by my Daughter Ella, she is such a blessing in our lives as are all of our children. Ella has a vintage spirit that can't be denied. My mom and I started a online business Ella Nicole Creations which offers many homemade and vintage inspired items mainly for children. We will be launching our site soon!!
Ella's Vintage Cottage is a place to learn creative ways to recreate items, transform it into something beautiful, or somethings completely different then their intended purpose. 
I have 5 children, 2 step children and 3 that I brought into this world. One passed in 2009 from a window fall. In 2011 I joined forces with Legacy Emanuel Hospital and Safe kids Oregon and launched our Campaign STOP at 4": The Campaign to Stop Window Falls. www.Stopat4.com.
I am a stay at home mom and I am one that is always wanted to create, to be inspired. I have found an outlet in this, its peaceful. I want to share it...the joy of creating something from nothing, or a piece that some might consider junk transforming it into the talked about piece.
I will share creative and easy projects that you can do at home. I will share fun stories of being a mom but most of all I hope to inspire others to find their inner vintage.
