Shop Clearance Sale

Yes, I am doing it. This is my first "real" sale in my shop. I just have WAY too much stuff. The cottage is stuffed full and my closets runneth over. So, I have listed 1/3 of the items in my shop, about 100, as a Buy 2 Get 1 Free Sale. Some of the items have reduced prices already and, of course, I will reimburse shipping overages. Click on any of the pics to go to the sale section. There are bedspreads, linens, housewares, lavender sachets and pillows, of course. These pics are a sampling of the items on clearance...

...Claudette. She purchased this pillow, well, minus the poms and fashioned as a 18" square pillowcover. She purchased the 500th item from my shop and scored another piece of this coveted fabric for framing! Thanks to Claudette and all my other customers and friends that have promoted my shop! Happy Saturday!!

Shabby Chic Vintage China

I was out of town this past weekend, so I missed the Dixie Highway Yardsale - over 100 miles of yard sales. I was just itchin' to go "junkin" and I did manage to find a smaller version of it in South Georgia - from Pavo to Boston. Tiny little towns with no McDonalds, mostly just country, cows and fresh veggies for sale. I did score this vintage china in the Hostess Pattern by Gold Castle. I believe it is from the 1940s. This set has a wonderful "shabby chic" look to it, nicely worn. Too bad the teacups were chippy, but I just love the rose pattern, the gold trim and the pink and yellow...

Vintage Coverlet - Crocheted Roses

I worked at the cottage some today, taking pics of things, trying to list items in my shop. Really, the housekeepers are coming tomorrow, so I was trying to get all my stuff stuffed into closets so they could have a path for the vacuum - LOL. I ran across this vintage coverlet that I purchased a while back and I just got so excited about it, how it looked, with all those crocheted roses - 220 of them. And how it looked on the bed. It has this wonderful 8" crocheted trim around three of the edges and the other edge just tucks under your pillows. I believe it to be completely handmade - Can you imagine the time it would take to do that?? The edges just looked so pretty hanging over the side of the bed. Just had to share with you gals...

Something this fun should be illegal - I can't stop....

These are for sale in my shop - Thanks for stopping by!

Pillow Happy

I played in my box of vintage chenille remnants yesterday and had a ball. It is all I want to do these days, make pillows! I feel like Jim Carrey in The Mask...."Somebody STOP Me!" No, not really, I don't want to stop and, afterall, it is cheap therapy - LOL. Here are the results of another day of crafting therapy...

These are listed in my etsy shop - Thanks for stopping by!!

The Happy Pillow

My crafting therapy today yielded "The Happy Pillow"! I sew away with my fabrics but sometimes I really like what I make. I could make a toilet seat cover with ticking and love it - I just love ticking, especially red. I purchased some vintage quilt squares, or circles I should say, from an etsy seller and put one together with some ticking today and it just made me smile. I have listed this ooak pillow in my etsy shop along with another pillow I made from a vintage feedsack. Hope all you moms have a wonderful Mother's Day tomorrow and thanks for stopping by!
