I had a great day. My sister, Patti, and I went to the antique mall in Springville. I've been looking for some vintage baby shoes to make some pretty pincushions. I saw one I loved on one of my favorite blogs,
"The Feathered Nest" http://the-feathered-nest.blogspot.com/
Isn't it precious?
Dawn sells her professional-quality tutorials on Etsy.
I found the exact shoes at D.I. for $1 for the pair.
The Pixie Elf planter will also become a pincushion.
Here are two I saw for sale that were quite pretty.
The vendor who put these potholders up for sale doesn't charge enough for her treasures.
The dress was only $2.75 and the round yellow one was only $1.
Note: One of the vendors suggested that a clothesline of little dresses and panties would look cute as a garland.
This shadow box was a fun thing to find. It was less than $10 and the vintage pins and buttons are worth more than that! This will go on my sewing room wall.
You've seen my Halloween lantern collection. Wait 'til you get a load of my vintage Santas and Snowmen!
These 1968 Santas are in almost new condition. And they were a steal at $2 each at D.I.
I didn't need this child's doll suitcase, but I couldn't resist the graphics.
Maybe I'll use it to store lace and trims.
I've made a promise to myself to take it easy on the Halloween displays. Less is more...right? I've decided to limit myself to a few really great pieces in the living room...that looky-no-touchy room that never gets used. But the family room is getting the whole enchilada.
The top half of my antique hutch.
The bottom had a reflection issue with a mirror.
It's a start! More later.
