The Vintage Marketplace at the Oaks

Smalls

When you are a wood worker you tend to build big. It's hard for me to come up with smalls for the event . Inspired by a roll of fabric that I purchased in Oceanside at "Embellishments" a couple of months ago I made sachet bags and filled them with the most fragrant bath salts. The sachets have pink or cream ribbon and a tiny rhinestones and pearls button.

Saturday I went shopping with Amber and at the Big Barn Antique Sale we both purchased  these galvanized drawers. Perfect display boxes for the Lavender Sachets.

I had an idea in my mind for a while and for Launch your Creativity I donated a Message in a bottle Charm and made a jar to go with it. I loved the idea to present the gift inside a soldered jar. So I made few more for the next Vintage Marketplace. The jars can hold a small necklace. A velvet cushion sits at the bottom of the jar. I soldered the lid and added lace around and some of them have a rhinestone and pearl on top or a pink resin rose.


Enjoy your week

Ciao for now
