love, love

pretty sure I've shown you these blocks before but I've been taking some snapshots around my house so thought I'd give you another peek. love painting on these old and well worn children's blocks. I wonder how many little imaginations have been inspired by playing with these.....they have been used by my son and my sister's daughters and grandchildren and countless other little visitors to our homes. what stories they could tell. and the little birds? we found those in a shop in Varanasi....another treasured memory

xmas is coming!

I made these little xmas decorations for the craft fair and still have some left. they are made from vintage linens, laces and doilies and will look sweet hanging on the xmas tree. I'm going to list some of them in my vintage etsy shop. I'm thinking of changing my things for sale in this shop with a focus more on made from vintage...I have such a collection of vintage linens, laces, ribbons and have been making some garlands/bunting from them as well. what do you think? I need to take some photos of the garlands and then I can post them here as well.
