another craft show

I was in another craft show last Saturday. I gotta a call on Friday evening if I wanted to take part in a craft show the next day. I had no real plans for the day so I said way not?!?


The the rush was on to get everything together for the show, pricing new items and making more things.

The set up was pretty similar to my last craft show set up. I was happy with the results of the show, and I learn more and more what people are looking for.

I'm hoping to get into more shows coming up. Hope you enjoyed seeing my table set up, I'll be posting about my Christmas decorations soon!

Hope you enjoyed your weekend!

my 1st show

I usually like to post a couple of times a week at the least, but on Monday I decided to show my creations at a local craft show. Now this one would be the first one I have ever been in, so I was in a bit of a hurry trying to make more things to bring and getting everthing ready for Saturday.

This was my little table. I was really happy with how it turned out!

It was the Church's 1st craft show, so the turn out was kinda small but I did sell a bunch of things!

I had a little bit of Christmas, mitten ornaments and framed vintage prints.

One of the best sellers of the day were my photo greeting cards.

Thanks to my husband and my Mom for helping me out Saturday with my first craft show!! Can't wait to do another one!

could it be?? shabby bangles??

I've had so much fun creating the Shabby Wreaths that I decided to create chic bangle bracelets with the same feel. They definitely have some whimsy to them!!

Pink, white and blue version.

White and lace version. Many different types of vintage lace and white fabric.

And of course another Shabby Wreath. This one is made with mostly vintage laces.

Hope you enjoy!! Just wait to see whats coming next!! They will be added to my Etsy store shortly!

I created these cute corsages out of vintage lace pieces. Each have a pin backing to attach to a purse, a pillow, or a lapel of a jacket.

Another style of a corsage, with feathers.

And a bundle of 10 yards of this pretty vintage lace, wrapped with seam binding.
Seam binding is also available in yardage: soft pink, light blue, turquoise, white, and ivory.

lovely lace

When ever I'm at a sale or antique store I am always on the lookout for lace and trims. This past weekend I hit the mother load of vintage lace. At a local vintage craft store they were selling BAGS of pretty lace. And the ones I got were not bits and pieces, they were yards and yards of each. YUM!

Just look at some of my favorites!!

I have a very hard time saying no....

Beautiful whites and colored lace.

I will be adding vintage lace and trim bundles to my Boutique and Etsy store!!

new items

Recently I made a cute little apron. I am hoping to add another category to the Boutique, Aprons & Accessories. I had so much fun making this one, that I have plans to make many more.

Here is my 1st one I made. It is made out of an old vintage sheet. When I saw the pattern, I immediately thought of how cute it would be as an apron.

On the ties I added vintage buttons on each side.

I added a flower and a button to the side.

This will be in the shop. $15

If you haven't already checked out the new items I added to the store, be sure to check them out here!! I also added a category, Estate Sale with SALE items!!

**this handmade pillow is not in the shop yet, but should be by Saturday. $13**

Vintage silver vase $12

I added these cuties to the website, at only $9 they are a steal! I embellished them with vintage lace, skeleton key or a chandelier crystal, with vintage buttons, and beads.
