Details, Details...

Found this amazing vintage dress at one of my favorite antique malls about a year ago. They have a section of fun vintage and retro outfits and I was in the market for a 70's Halloween costume. I did find this for that occasion, but really loved the fabric and detail of the dress above. I will not be wearing it as a dress but have grand plans to use this quilted fabric to make 2 great pillows...likely for use in my studio. Anyway, the detail amazes me....just look at this color and stitching!

I get wrapped up in the color and of intricateness of designs....the artist in me I guess. When I

see the details in things like this, it reminds me of how God takes care of all the details in our lives if we just surrender and let Him be in control. Not easy, I know. I have had great experience with this lately and I have to say, it feels great to let go and let God take control. Like your mom used to say, "try it, you may like it!" Here's a good devotion about who's in control.

It reminds me that if we just look around, we can see colors and details like this in flowers & landscapes, more flowers, in birds, even in our kid's hair color...in so many things. Our children see it and beg us to look and stop and enjoy every bit of it. We get so busy with the details of our daily lives, it's no wonder we forget to stop and enjoy the true details.

Tell us about any yummy vintage finds you've discovered, photo shots of detail, or ways you can see God in the details of your every day!
