This and That

Hi! How's things today? There's a couple things to share today. I ran across a giveaway that some of you might be interested in--It can be found here--The Apronista. She's giving away a fabulous vintage apron and an equally fabulous book "The Apron Book". Hurry though, taking entries only through Jan. 11th!



This is Emma Mouse. She is very quiet (quiet as a mouse!) and friendly and would love to hang around and hold on to your treasures for you! A larger sized drawstring bag--available in my Etsy shop.


Here's my newest creation--isn't it cute?!! The gal who has the cutest little antique shop--right next door to my favorite second-hand shop--surprised me one day with a bag full of tissue paper scraps. "Here," she said "I run across these misc. paper patterns and stuff when I go through boxes and drawers-- and I thought if anyone can use them, you can." I love that stuff!! lol It was full of old sewing patterns pieces, and applique patterns, and iron-on transfers!! Yeah! One of them was this little bird on a flowering branch--so sweet! I was trying to think of the perfect place to use it--and this is what I came up with. I just added the word "Love you" and surrounded it with red wool and buttons. Available in my Etsy shop.


Linds and Daisy--This picture just cracks me up! I love the way Daisy is looking at Linds--is that love or what??!

Did I ever tell you guys that I had once won a giveaway at Calamity Kim's blog--and she sent me this fabulously fantastic bunting??? It took me a long time to decide where would be the perfect place to hang it--isn't is wonderful?!! I just love it, and it makes me smile every time I look at it! Calamity Kim is just a wonderful artist, and is so free and fun with her form and pattern--inspiring! If you are not familiar with her, I urge you to check out her blog for yourself!

Have a fantastic day everyone--and go hug your sweethearts!
