Thanks Laurie


~~ Finally I would like to send a BIG Thank You Shout Out to my cyber crafting friend Laurie ( Indulge Your Self ), she sent me this adorable pillow she made from all vintage linen pieces, what a doll face... I Love it !

Well I guess that's it for now, again I will be listing tons of delightful, enchanting, adorable, beautiful, & fun vintage items, starting this week, come take a peek, it's "Like a Box of Chocolate" "Ya never Know what You Might Find"

Decorating Odds & Ends




~~ A few other odds & ends, are the vintage button & chenille top piece for a shabby repo tin, a paper cover for the top of a small vintage tin, then a bit of red ball trim to a table candle and a pink bow for the pink ceramic swan and I'm ready for Valentine's day.

Saved Treasure


~♥~ I also reclaimed a treasure, an antique shell basket wall plaque. I was disappointed when I got it home, after I found that the main shell had been broken and glued, ( years ago ) and one flower center shell was missing, so I added a piece of vintage trim, a vintage satin bow ( a save every little thing, just for these play day occasions ) and, an odd shell ( didn't have an exact match ).

It's not good enough to list, so darn I just I'll have to keep it...
I believe it's Edwardian..

Winter Play Days




Hello all remember me ??? been a while, well Christmas is over ( sing Hallelujah ) and between sorting through my past estate season finds getting ready to start listing again on eBay, full on, I've also made a few crafting treasures.

~♥~ First is a darling little Easter basket, made from a vintage flared milk bottle cap,

I added a bit of tatted trim to the edge, a curled old wire handle, made a few tiny Easter eggs, out of Paper Clay ( Thanks Laurie ).

Then for the grass I used a small piece of llama fur ( not my first pick, but gotta use what ya have handy ), I sprayed on a bit of water downed pink paint then sprinkled with mica.

And to finish it off I added the adorable tiny ceramic bunny, I'm delighted with the way it turned out..
