A Hand Crafted Christmas

a few hand crafted goodies!!!! i was going to add them to my etsy, now i think they will be gifts.

the sachets pictured below, were favors i made for my daughter's wedding reception back in sept. i took apart a very SHAbby vinTAGE quilt (2 quilts, one was a yo-yo quilt) vintage buttons, added some lavender and stitched a zig-zag stitch (somewhat any witch way) they were a HUGE hit!!

 

enjoy!!

ChiPPy Cast Iron wall sconce

while on a day trip this past summer i stopped at a barn sale in pennsylvania. ohhh so many goodies were stashed away in that barn. if i only had that truck i've been dreaming of. at the time i was not looking to aquire any more "things". i did pick up this light fixture and a few smalls. i cleaned the layers of "stuff" off and pulled out the wires, the type covered in cloth. i'm guessing this is from the 20's or 30's. i loved how it cleaned up. all chippy'tique, it's new life shall be a candle holder. and it's being offered on my etsy.

Coming Soon
