Oops I did it again - vintage chenille bedspreads...

Pink Hoffman Daisy

...well, I can't help it! They are just too lovely and it is not like you can just get another one if someone buys this one. So, I did it, I purchased some more vintage chenille bedspreads. Not just any chenilles, but Morgan Jones, Bates and even a Hoffman Daisy. Oh, the daisy is so fluffy and soft! So here's some eye candy, get your drool bucket ready...

Textile Cuff Bracelets - Ticking and Escutcheons

I crafted these adjustable cuff bracelets with new ticking fabric and some vintage key hole covers (escutcheons). The base is metal for ease in fitting to your wrist.

These, along with some others, are available in my shop - thanks for stopping by and have a fab weekend!

Oh, to be two again...

...going to the mailbox with Rebecca is so much fun, she meanders her way there, stopping to look at ordinary things or changing course to go and see if she can find something - she will be two in May and is just adorable. This picture was taken while going to the mailbox on the day before Easter - she had to stop and look for earthworms - they had crawled out of the ground the last time we ventured to the mailbox because the ground was so wet....Oh, to be two again...

Vintage Chenille Pillows

Chenille means caterpillar in French - so here are some fabulous caterpillar pillows I have made :-) ....
