Every Queen Bee needs a throne! I have always wanted to glorify this seat of Kings, but could never seem to find the right objects to do so. But, just last week while I was browsing thru "Hobby Lobby" (THE BEST CRAFT STORE IN AZ) and came upon this crown. At the time, all wall hangings were 50% off and the front was also damaged so I asked for a little more off. (I am getting much more ballsy as I get older) Anyway, the crown was perfect except for the color. I have silver hardware in the black and white bathroom so I spray painted the crown and the plastic tassels a silver chrome. The tassels are Christmas ornaments that were also half off at the time. I then took the crown and on an old wooden shelf, traced inside the crown. I used my jig saw and cut the piece out, then spray painted it the same glossy black that I painted the chest and mirror with. I found this great fabric at "JoAnns" that is heavy and has velvet flourishes on it for the curtain (used my 40% off coupon). I did not sew one single stitch, but used hemming tape to finish off the raw edges, attach the fringe and make a hem at the bottom. I then stapled the fabric to the wood board and used "L' shaped hardware to attach it to the wall.
My dilemma: I think the white wall inside the curtains needs something, any ideas???

Dear Glamma Fabulous,
I'm Mrs. Dubs SIL. As I was reading back through your posts I found mention of a Grandma Call. Well, since my maiden name is Call, I think that means we're related. Which means I'd appreciate some awesome artsy gifts for my kids. Who are practically your grandkids.
Thanks!
Emily
A gifted artist, a natural comedienne, a wonderful mom (and frequent vicarious mom to our Mrs. Dub), a creative genius, would have been the classic candidate for those old who's the mother/ who's the daughter dishsoap commercials as her looks have remained as young as her heart has, and nobody can do a holiday, a party, or a scrapbook like GF. A wonderful friend, a great read, and always a fun time. Definitely, the Queen.
this throne is amazing. trust me, when you actually need to "use" the throne, you feel very regal and very fancy.
pardon my language, but i hope i'm not constipated the next time i visit your place.
fabulous as always, glamma!
Oh, and I also think you should will me the trunk. It's probably rightfully mine anyway. (Have I gone to far yet?)
When you do your geneology, look out for a polygomous named Anson. Every Call I've ever met is related to him!
P.S. I met Hilary in San Diego and am an admirer! :)
hilari is right its a perfect princess potty!
