~Something a little different from J.Rae's Shabby Cottage Designs~ Shrimp & Smoked Sausage Gumbo ~**

2011-10-08T07:10:00.000-07:00

Shrimp & Smoked Sausage Gumbo

1 lb Smoked Sausage (cut & then quartered into small chunks)
1/2 stick butter (or 1/4 C extra virgin olive oil if you prefer)
1/4 C Flour
... 1 Medium Onion (chopped)
1 small bag baby carrots (chopped)
3-4 Stalks Celery (chopped)
4 C Chicken Broth
1/2 C Diced Green Chilies (to taste mild or spicy to preference)
1- 14oz Can Diced Tomatoes
1- Can Spicy Rotel or Diced Tomatoes w Green Chilies added
1-1/2 C Frozen Okra
1 Can Golden Hominy
1 lb frozen cooked medium shrimp
1-2 tsp Mrs Dash Seasoning
1 Tsp Black Pepper

In soup pot add butter, smoked sausage, brown slightly over medium heat, add flour to make a rue, add chicken broth, carrots, onion, Mrs Dash, pepper & celery bring to a boil and cook til veggies are softened. Add green chilies, diced tomatoes, rotel, and bring to a boil, simmer for about 10 minutes, then add okra, hominy, and shrimp, let simmer for about 5-10 minutes. Serve nice and hot!! You can spice this up more by using hotter peppers such as jalapeno, or adding a dash or two of hot sauce. You can also serve this over rice, but we eat it like a yummy hearty soup!

This is what the finished product looks like. It has the most incredible flavor. Just a touch of spice without being too hot. Once you have a bowl you want to go back for another. My hubby & I have been eating this at least once a week lately! Fantastic & I know you'll just love it so I just had to share!!

How Cheerleaders For Jesus Came About

2011-04-22T07:19:00.000-07:00

This is the logo I designed for our Ladies Group "Cheerleaders for Jesus"!

One night at church our precious Pastor's wife Teresa, who is also my aunt, was leading our praise and worship testimonies and singing. She was so joy enthusiastic and filled with pep and joy overflowing. The way she was moving her arms reminded me of a cheerleader.
In our little church we are all encouraged and allowed to speak up when God puts something on our hearts to do so. So I spoke up and said...you're a cheerleader for Jesus!!! It all blossomed from there.
   Now previous to this we ladies had met one time for a luncheon and had decided it was something we would do once a month for fellowship and a wonderful time in the Lord. So it all came together that we would start a ladies group called "Cheerleaders For Jesus", meet once a month for lunch in the fellowship hall, after lunch we make handcrafted items, to use in these lovely gift baskets that will be taken to someone who is sick, shut in, hurting emotionally, or wherever God sends us. We also include other items like little cookies, crackers, lotions and pretties in the baskets.
   So far we have made pretty Christian inspirational bookmarks, refrigerator magnets and little sachet cupcakes from vintage chenille. Since I am the one in the group that loves to do the crafty things and I have an abundance of crafting supplies and ideas, I have been blessed to be the leader of the crafting portion of the meetings. Right down my alley!!! I love love love it, and have been so truly blessed to see some of the ladies "come out of their shells".
There is an amazing older lady in the group, she is a beautiful spirit that always fills us with such joy to be around her. Watching her make the crafts is a heartwarming experience as you can see the sparkle in her eyes, and she reminds me of a sweet child just learning to do something wonderful!!!
Here are some photos of us girls and the recipients of the baskets that we cheerleaders make and deliver to these precious people!

These beautiful people are a Pastor and his wife. He is in his 90's and still preaching God's word when he feels well enough to do so. He has been very ill lately suffering with heart failure. She has back injuries and other ailments that prevent her from getting around very well.

One of My Latest Creations! A Special Order Shabby Cottage Throw

2011-03-05T10:31:00.000-08:00

This is a one of a kind special order throw that I made for a very precious customer. I used antique and vintage fabrics, laces and trims. I also used lovely fabric blocks featuring beautiful embellished altered art brides by Debi Jo Artwork.
The back of this throw is vintage chenille. I really enjoyed putting this one together for a very special lady in Brooklyn NY. I can do many types of special orders using any of my prints available in my ebay store, etsy shop, or artfire shops. There are links to all 3 to the right.
I can also take any of your cherished photos, prints, etc and make custom order treasures for you with them. I make pillows, sachets, throws, baby blankets, placemats, table runners, throws and more. I don't make the large quilts because I don't have the proper equipment for that kind of larger work.

I'm no professional quilter that's for certain...but that is just part of the shabby cottage chic appeal of my little throws...well at least I think so. Imperfect in so many ways, but ooooh so shabby chic!

~My Most Recent Pretties- Inspired by Marie Antoinette Fashion~

2010-12-15T15:02:00.000-08:00

I have recently become enamored with Marie Antoinette inspired treasures. The 18th century French fashion is ooooh la la oh so shabby cottage chic!! I have created a few new goodies to list in my shops and am working on even more! Here are just a few of what I have created so far!

I just love these tags. I made them double sided and double thickness so they could be used and treasured for many years and not just as gift tags. They are more like beautiful shabby chic ornaments.


I don't have any fancy photo editing or graphic software, so I just printed the images, hand cut, hand glued, and hand glittered! I put lots of love into these beautiful tags. One side Marie is wearing a beautiful gown in pink and on the other side a beautiful red gown. This is a set of 3 small tags! For more detailed information go to my ebay store with the link below: http://cgi.ebay.com/3-Beautiful-Marie-Antoinette-Embellished-Tags-Ornaments-/160519565289?pt=Art_Mixed_Media&hash=item255fb62fe9


This is a stunning set of 4 larger tags. These measure 6 inches tall and around 4 inches wide. There are 4 different Marie Antoinette images on the tags. These are also double sided and double thickness for more durability and use in home decor and as ornaments. The back features the same French scrolly image on all 4 tags. I used a lovely mauve satin ribbon for the hangers. This set is also available on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/4-Lovely-Marie-Antoinette-LRG-Embellished-Ornament-Tags-/160519570383?pt=Art_Mixed_Media&hash=item255fb643cf


I just love the way this heart shaped hanging pillow turned out. I used a special process to antique the fabrics, ribbon and lace. It is just stunning and the pictures don't do it justice at all. Please go take a look at it for more detail at my ebay store! http://cgi.ebay.com/Shabby-Cottage-Chic-Marie-Antoinette-Hanging-Pillow-/310280031653?pt=Decorative_Pillows&hash=item483e218da5

~Beautifully Embellished Vintage Child's Sled From Nutmeg-Hill~

2010-12-10T04:45:00.000-08:00


My dear friend from Nutmeg-Hill created this amazing display using a vintage child's sled! This is just stunning and a one of a kind treasure like no other! Beautifully crafted in grand Shabby Cottage Chic style! Please click on the gray link below to view more detail of this sweet offering from Nutmeg-Hill! http://cgi.ebay.com/SLED-PINK-ICE-SKATES-VINTAGE-VERY-SHAB-VERY-CHIC-/270674301922?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f057213e2

It is said that first impressions make the difference. Place this spectacular vignette at your door this Christmas and impress everyone that enters your home. Grand in the hallway this vintage sled with the dazzling pink ice skates has that wow factor.

We started with a child's vintage sled which we painted the best shabby cottage ivory biscuit you ever saw. We added a large double bow made from French wired ribbon in powder puff pink satin.

A paper mache large star has been heavily glittered to add dazzle and the finishing touch is our amazing shabby cottage chic vintage pink leather ice skates...circa 1940. Pink and white variegated laces are made with French ribbon and add punch to the skates. They have been dazzled with pink German diamond dust. No easy task...a labor of love ....they are sure to catch the eye of everyone. Marabou white boa trim and white jingle bells complete the picture.

Don't miss our beautiful wreath that looks as if it has been frozen with a glaze of ice. SPECTACULAR.

Details: SLED= 35 inches long and 22 inches wide at the cross bar at the top of the sled.

We call this presentation "WINTER WONDERLAND"

This could also be placed on a door like a wreath. It will carry you through the winter season.

~MyEarthlyTreasures Canned Pumpkin Bread Recipe!!!~

2010-12-02T20:19:00.000-08:00

Ohhhhhh my my my! My Aunt Patty is a wonderful cook and a delightfully sweet lady! I was chatting with her today when she told me she is selling this amazingly neat recipe on Etsy. It is for CANNED PUMPKIN BREAD!! It is actually baked right in the canning jar and seals so it will last a long long time! What wonderful homemade gifts this would make for that special someone!! You could decorate the jars with fabric and ribbons...it would be just lovely and what a special treat!!! The recipe is also available for a wonderful CANNED APPLE BREAD as well and is only $2.50 in her etsy shop myearthlytreasures. Here is a gorgeous pic of how it turns out!!!

Just imagine how pretty the jars will look all decorated for Christmas gifts!! It's also really neat that this bread is canned so that as long as the seal is not broken it will last and last. Make some up ahead and bring it out, slice it when you have unexpected company. Wonderful served with hot tea too!!! Just visit my Aunt's etsy shop for this very inexpensive recipe and wonderful & unique gift idea!!!

~True Thankfulness!!!~

2010-11-21T05:53:00.001-08:00

You know we should always be thankful for all that God provides us, but in our daily lives of hustle and bustle we often don't take the time to reflect on just how truly blessed we are!
   I have been trying more and more lately to do just that. My preacher gave a sermon a little while back and said something so very true. "Even the poorest Americans are rich when compared to the people of some other countries."
Think about what those people are going through, and how we have been blessed. A lot of them have no resources and no where to turn for help. In America we have churches, food pantries, shelters and so many other options.
   Even some the very poorest of us still have a roof over our heads, running water, bathrooms. We have shoes on our feet, clothes to wear, food to eat. We have TV's and microwave ovens, and so many things that those beautiful people in other places around the world will never get to have.
I try to get up each and everyday, not just on Thanksgiving, and look around me at all that God has given me. The beautiful trees that God created with all their many colors and the way they bend and sway in the wind, the birds that sing to me every morning, the beautiful white puffy clouds against the amazingly blue sky. Remember to thank our precious Creator for all that He has given you. We are truly and deeply blessed.
My husband lost his good paying job a few months back. We are living on substantially less income now than we were last year at this time. But, despite that....we are blessed!! Christmas is going to be slim this year...but despite that we are truly and deeply blessed! Celebrate, and be thankful for what God gave us in His one and only son Jesus Christ! Look around you at your home, your yards, your families, and rejoice, cry out in thankfulness to God the Father for all he has blessed you with.
One night I was thinking about a particular family member that repeatedly did and said things that were such a frustration. I was looking up to the stars and God very clearly said to me "Love the Unlovable". So, I am also thankful for those people in my life that cause frustration, irritation, even anger, because through them, God is teaching me something! I thank God even for the trials and tribulations we must face. He is right there with us holding our hands all the way through, and making us stronger in Him!
May God shine His glorious face upon you, and continue to send you blessings overflowing!

My New Shabby Cottage Studio

2010-08-21T06:13:00.000-07:00

Back in May, my youngest son Tyler turned 18 and moved out. Booo hoooo!!! He graduates this year, and I was so hoping it would choose to stay home with us until he graduated at least! But no, he was grasping for adulthood and independence and moved in with a group of friends.

Well this is both good and bad. I am sad that he is not here all the time, but he is learning that being at home was not such a bad thing, and he is learning to appreciate moms cooking that he was so picky about when he was living here.

Another good thing has come from all of this!!! For the past 5 years since I have been creating pretties and selling them on various sites, I have been working from my dining room that has been set up as my studio/workspace! Now, I have redone my son's "dungeon". I call it this because he had it painted a dark gray and all of his accessories were black...YUCK!!! Now it is the softest pink I could find....with white and darker pink accents. My sweet shabby studio!

It is a bit smaller space and it is taking some adjusting learning to work and move around in a rhythmic flow, but it sure turned out pretty! I have my dining room back, and now can have more people over for family dinners. We had been entertaining on fold out tables in our living room for the past few years, and children had been eating at the coffee table. I also get to start my kitchen/dining room remodel now!!!! Hurray!!!! Here are a few pics of the new workspace!

These dark pink shelves were a soft yellow when they were in my kitchen. Things are stacked a bit higher and I have a fold out step stool so that I can reach the things at the top. My mother recently donated a set of white organdy drapes that were perfect for hanging in this room!!

The little spot in the corner with the lamp and decorated top hat is where I take photos of my stuff for listing on the different sites I sell my wares on. I left the wall above that area open for hanging the items to take pics as well. I used an old school desk with an antique hand stitched quilt to cover it.

This is a shot of my table and the closet door in this room. My husband installed and antique door knob and backplate on it for me. I have also added a gorgeous pink cast iron hanger in the shape of an antique key to the door since this pic was taken for hanging and taking photos of my pretties. I made the lovely shabby cottage chic banner at the top of the door. It was my very first attempt at a banner & it was so much fun and turned out ohhhh soo pretty!!

I took and old wooden table that our neighbor gave us that was being used in my kitchen area, painted it white and added this vintage table cloth trimmed in pink. It features a different type of flower for every month of the year. I got this table cloth for 25 cents at a yard sale, brought it home and soaked it and it turned out beautifully!!! This my work surface with my machine and my cutting and assembling area all in one!!

The little girl in me came out when I designed this room! Having 4 boys, I did not get to do a lot of pretty pink frillies...so that all came out in this room!!! The white organdy curtains are perfect in here, they are light and airy, and still let in all the natural light! The pink vintage bridesmaid dress was discovered at a yard sale for $5. When I found it my intention was to cut it and use all the fancy lace and fabric in other projects...but it is so beautiful I decided to hang it and display it instead!!! My little Xavier Roberts Bunny Bees are a vintage treasure as well. I remember my exes mother collected all sorts of Cabbage Patch stuff many years ago. I always loved her Bunny Bees, so when I spotted the blue one at a flea market for only $3 I had to have it...then I found the pink one on...where else?.....ebay!!!

~Time For Some New Images For You~

2010-08-02T08:22:00.000-07:00

So sorry that I have not kept up with sharing new images with all of you! Life gets busy sometimes, and I have a lot going on right now. My hubby & I are currently remodeling the room my youngest son moved out of recently. Right now my studio is set up in my dining room and has been for nearly 5 years now. So we are busy making the room into my studio. Shabby cottage style of course!!! Soon I will have my very own workspace and have my dining room back! That will sure make it nicer for family get togethers.
I am also working as church secretary and preschool Sunday school teacher at Harvest Time Church in Gainesville, Arkansas. I just love my job duties at the little church, and that takes quite a bit of my time....but I love it and i wouldn't want it any other way! The Lord does so much for me each and every day, and I wish I could do more to give just a little back to Him!

So here are your images for today, just click on them to enlarge and then right click to "save as". Please feel free to use them in your projects whether they are for yourself or for sale. All I ask is that you don't sell the images themselves as prints or fabric blocks! Thanks so much! Have a truly blessed day!

Concerning The Free Images I Have Been Sharing With You!!!

2010-05-11T13:47:00.000-07:00

I started sharing vintage images with all of you to use in creative projects for personal use or for sale. I did not ever intend for them to be sold as prints that can easily be reproduced and spread all over the place. I have recently discovered that some of the images I have shared here with you for use in your creative projects have been listed for sale as prints or fabric blocks. My intention is and has always been for these images to be used in altered art, pillows, sachets, quilts, etc. Actual creations and not just taken and used to sell prints and fabric blocks.
Because of this, I am actually thinking about not sharing any more of my special images. I have also stated with each set of 5 images I have been giving away to please send me pics of your creations so that I can share your wonderful works with my blog followers. No one has sent me anything so far.
I ask that if you save an image that you use it for creative purposes and not to just sell as a print or image on fabric. I also ask that you share pics of your creations with me and my blog followers by emailing to jraeburk@gmail.com. This would also be a way to advertise your creative talents at no cost to you!!!
One more request...please if you save my free images leave me a quick comment...even if it is just a sweet hello!!! I would love to know you stopped by and enjoy getting the free images.
I don't mind if you sell the items you have created using the images...just ask that you don't sell the images themselves in any form such as digital download, print on paper or fabric...etc.
Thank you for understanding. I hope to be able to share more images with you soon!!!

~~My Most Recent Special Order Pillow~~

2010-04-16T16:37:00.000-07:00

Here is the latest special order pillow that I made for a sweet little girls room! I just love doing special orders! I used a lovely vintage Maud Humphrey print, recreating it on colorfast treated cotton fabric (available in my ebay and etsy shops). I added beautiful Robert Kaufman soft pink fabric with tiny white polka dots. The ruffles are made from amazing pink cotton organdy imported from India. This pillow is so much prettier in person than even the pictures show.

The back is fashioned from a sweet vintage hobnail chenille with roses design. I handmade the three yo-yos in the center. I covered a button with the same print as on the front of the pillow and added roses to top off this sweet reversible pillow!

If you would like to have a custom made pillow using any of my prints available in any of my shops that have links on the sidebar just contact me at jraeburk@gmail.com for more information, or simply leave me a blog comment!

I can also use any print you may have and reproduce it onto cotton fabric that is colorfast treated. I can even use your family photos to make pillows, sachets etc.

The Wonderful & Mysterious Ways In Which Jesus Works!

2010-03-10T13:44:00.000-08:00

I often just sit and think about the ways in which God is working in my life. Recently, I have been experiencing some trials with my youngest son who will be 18 in two months. He is rebelling against me, against school, against life & God. Striving to gain his manhood and independence. He has been making some terrible choices and doing things that could ultimately be very destructive in his life.

As his mother this saddens me so much. I have been struggling with keeping my cool, not lecturing and nagging at him, and just not "losing it" on it. Boy oh boy, this is a major battle for me. A battle within my own spirit. I have prayed and prayed for him...but then God opened MY eyes and made me see that I was in HIS way. With my interference I was actually hindering what God was trying to do in Tyler's life. Through all of his wrong choices (some of which included a lip piercing, and those awful HUGE gauged earrings that make ugly giant holes in his ears...YUCK) God was trying to show my son that these kinds of wrong choices have consequences. My nagging only drove him farther away...& I was in God's way.

When I finally decided to LET GO & LET GOD things started to happen. My son came home, and had removed ALL of his piercings! He had tears streaming down his face this morning and grabbed me..and we just held each other for the longest time. Thank you Lord for the beautiful and mysterious way in which you work!

From now on I will pray, and try my hardest to just stay out of God's way. My son still has a long way to go...but I know without a doubt God will bring him back to where he needs to be! Someday soon my son will become a man for God!

Sharing a Little of Myself With My Blog Friends

2010-02-23T17:35:00.000-08:00

I wanted to share a little piece of me with all of you. This is my living room that I redecorated myself in a sort of retro french country shabby cottage style sort of way. Everything in the room was found in antique stores and flea markets. I made the curtains myself using wonderful fabric that I found for only $1.00 a yard. All of the furnishings came from a retired doctors Victorian style home and had been in his formal living room that was rarely used. The funky high backed chairs are my favorite with their blue and green velvet striped fabric. I love the mix of funky retro and that sort of french country. I love the golds and greens and blues and all of the vintage colored glass.
My bedroom is my pretty shabby cottage room. I painted the walls a lovely orchid inspired purple. I have a nice collection of antique quilts and vintage chenilles that I just love to alternate between when dressing up my bed.
The amazing antique quilt shown in nearly 100 years old and was hand stitched by my great grandmother. It is amazing, and I was in awe of it when my mother gave it to me about 2 years ago. It is a beautiful masterpiece of hand stitches done with love. It is wonderful condition and was very loved and well taken care of all of these years.
After receiving that quilt from my mother my husband & I decided the handwork and old antique and vintage fabrics were amazing. We started collecting and have been very blessed in finding some amazing handiwork for bargain prices. It does something special for me to hold these pieces in my hands and image the people who made these beautiful masterpieces to keep their families warm.

Looking Forward to the Springtime!!!

2010-02-17T05:19:00.000-08:00

I am so excited for spring this year. So many projects I would love to get completed. We have plans to "shabby cottage chic" my kitchen. I have chosen a very soft pink for the walls, and antique white with an aging treatment on my cabinets,and mounted in the center of each cabinet door there with be a framed print of vintage pink roses. We have collected many of the antique crystal/glass doorknobs and those will be my kitchen cabinet knobs. We have also acquired some old barn wood that will be whitewashed and then laid down as my countertops with heavy coats of lacquer on top to protect the wood.I saw this done on a home improvement show and it was beautiful! Hoping to get a new farmhouse styled sink as well. New hard wood flooring to top it all off!
I have this vision of it my head and can hardly wait until it is completed. I just know it will be beautiful.
Outdoors will be fun too this year...new flowers and new flower beds. I plant something new every year. Annuals and perennials all around. We have started a brick walkway that leads from the house to the shed, and want to continue it out to the firepit. We want to make a big circle of the bricks around the firepit and have seating around that as well. Along the sides of the brick pathway I want to plant all sorts of perennials. Delphiniums, floxglove, and more of my favorites like bleeding hearts and lily of the valley. It will be lovely!
These are just a few of many reasons I am so looking forward to springtime and the warmer weather it brings. Just to open up the windows and let the breezes blow through the house will be just wonderful and so refreshing!!!

Something New For Me: Custom Made Lap & Crib Quilts

2010-01-04T19:10:00.000-08:00

When I was first asked if I could make this I was not so sure. My projects are normally on a smaller scale like pillows, sachets, desk mats, place mats and other things like that.

I set to work on this and it turned out so much better than I had expected. It is beautifully and uniquely Shabby Cottage Chic one of a kind, never to be reacreated!!!

I used a different embellishment such as ribbon, Venise lace, antique crocheted lace, French alencon lace, satin & organza trim, foral appliques and more on each and every square on this quilt.

I have had 2 more special orders for these since making the first one, and would love to make one for you using any of the fabric blocks I have listed on ebay.

Please contact me at jraeburk@gmail.com or leave me a blog comment to get more information and pricing for one of these unique one of a kind lap or crib sized quilts.

I used only the finest materials I could find. Vintage chenilles, laces, and more to make this beautiful quilt.

The back which is not pictured here is one solid piece of high quality vintage pink chenille with a floral basket design on it.

It turned out so much better than I ever could have envisioned when I started it.

More Recent Pretties From J.Rae's Shabby Cottage Designs

My Beautiful Shabby Cottage Chic Altered Art Faerie Book

2009-12-30T07:17:00.000-08:00

I absolutely adore the way this special altered art book turned out. I have worked on it for months finding just the right antique colorized photos to transform into my little faeries. I searched for antique laces, linens, and doilies to add just the right touches here and there to this charming One of a Kind heirloom quality book.
Whether you love, shabby chic, vintage photos & textiles, or adore the faerie realm as I do...you will love this precious book. I will never again create one just like this one.
I have it in auction in my ebay store, and will soon be listing it for sale in my Etsy shop as well if it does not sell on ebay.
I found the most beautiful antique laces, chenilles, buttons and more to make this beauty a touch of both old and new. I used fabrics from paris Bebe & Rachel Ashwell's Simply Shabby Chic Line.
Each little faerie has something special and unique about her from her wings to the Fairy Dust and Sugar Glitter she is embellished with. I used lots of satin ribbon roses, and silk flowers to adorn this book throughout. It is truly a wonderful conversation piece and treasure that can be passed down for generations to come....
For a lot more detailed photos please visit my ebay store with the link to the right. These are just a few of the pages in this sweet book.There are 10 decorated pages in total.

Please let me know what you think. I am considering making more of these wonderful books with varying themes. I was also wondering if anyone would be interested in a blank book so they could fill it up with their own special momentos or altered art.
