Flour sack pillows

Almost time for the Vintage Marketplace at the Oaks! I made two pillows with nonno's WWII copies of his flour sack.
I will be selling the prints in fabric for you to make anything you like. I was planning to make aprons too....but I didn't have enough time. I think it will be fun just to sell the fabric.



We will be adding photos on our FB page, please take a look. I will be back on blogging next week.

I have been busy busy creating for the Vintage Marketplace. This week I put together some mini jars with tiny Christmas trees inside. ADORABLE!

I painted the mail box pink and added a pink heart, a key and crystals





....and look at this one! 

It has been a great week for me in the workshop.....

This event is going to be MAGICAL!

It's almost TIME!


I have been sanding, fixing, building and painting, but for the last couple of days I have been glittering anything I can find!
I wish I can just do this every day......
Glitter turns anything into something
MAGICAL. 







I really LOVE this! and I hope you do too
