**ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!** Girlie Bust with ImPerFeCtioNs!*!*!

I netted this "ViNtaGe Girlie Bust" on our Antique Outing this past Saturday...  This was one of those items ~ Tag-ON... Tag-OFF...  I've decided to hang on to this ViNtaGe SHaBBy Beauty for just a little while longer...  "HERE'S WHY"...

 I was first drawn to this Girlie Vintage Bust because of SIZE/FORM, TATTERED LACE, & CHIPPY BASE...  While unpacking my FiNds - yesterday, I just knew I had the **Perfect Place** for her where something was lacking...

 When I got her positioned, I felt she needed "a little bling"...  ~ Like JeWeLry on-the-dress...  Creamy beige Pearls and vintage millinery with a hint of color were added...

 The cracks in the base added so much "Unique Time-Worn Character"!!!

 The Lace, to me was a strong focal point of the piece...  PeRfeCtly Tattered and worn, not to mention the darker beige color it had taken on...

 ViNtaGe Millinery is one of my weaknesses!*!*!

This delicate "Pansy Sprig" is from France...

 I'll pay more for items with original labels ~ this one still retaining it's MADE-IN-FRANCE label...

I LoVe Imperfections!*!*!

** So Much More Interesting than Brand New **
