Greetings! My name is Merry. I enjoy nature, antiques, creating mixed media art from ephemera and found bits and bobs, my large button collection that dates back generations, creating junk journals and too much more. Each week or so I upload videos on YouTube whereas you can join in the adventures and weirdness that is my life as I explore and share those worlds. Everyone is welcome just click (it's 💯% always free) "THE VELVET LOUNGE LIFE" link to subscribe:

I like little things especially if they are odd, antique, vintage or interesting. How many items can you identify in this photo❓👀
Are you a Button Collector too??? If you are W😯W- I have an amazing treat for you of almost 100 videos about the history, folklore, descriptions, values, how to's and projects regarding all things button related.

Another area I've been collecting since I was a child is Designer Costume Jewelry. Imagine swimming backwards in a sea of rhinestones over a rainbow mountain of enamel, semi precious stones, rhinestones and sparkles. That's how vast the collection is. Let's share, chat and enjoy. This Playlist is full of happiness 😊 click here for a bunch of videos:

Everyone has a bit of creative inside them. I have an overload of creative joy. Junk Journal Mixed Media Art is a wonderful way to express yourself. I use REAL AUTHENTIC antique, vintage and retro ephemera in my creations. It makes these bits of history treasures you can add to for generations. This Playlist includes how to create unique features for your junk journals, where to source materials mostly for free, my method for creating junk journals, tools of the art, how to use non-paper items in your junk journal such as jewelry, small collectibles and other bits and bobs. Also, I give away my junk journals and ephemera so that you can join in the fun.
Here's our YouTube Playlist:
