Vintage Inspired Putz Houses

 

 

I was lucky enough to answer an ad on our local Facebook Marketplace and snag

4 Vintage Inspired holiday houses that needed some Up-cycling! 

And even though its Halloween and I did do a bit of 
Fall Decorating mostly because we were expecting 
a couple of sets of out of town guests.

 

Here's the Wreath I made for our Front Porch! 

 

 I was anxious to get started on the holiday houses and I had
another Christmas creation swirling around in my head.

So I brought down my tub of Christmas crafting supplies from the attic!

And got Started! 

  

  

 

 

 I thought the pink sushi wrap paper would

work perfect for the icicles dripping of the roof top!

 

 

 

The other 3 are in more Traditional Christmas colors I'll get some 

pictures and share them on my next Blog Post..
In the meantime hope your enjoying the cooler temps 

and excitement of the Holidays! 

 

Fire Up the Hot Glue Gun

Late Night Creating in the Home Studio

The other day I picked up a few bags of

little treasures at my local Vintage Shop.
I thought these sweet Vintage Birthday Candle
Holders would be perfect to add to a Creative project.

So Inspiration for me started with these...

And then I started pulling tubs from the shelves in my Home Studio

Picked out a yellow and tiny pink mushroom

Searched through my tub of vintage millinery.

Yes, I needed to pull out the tub with the small vintage trims

I was going to need Chenille. And yes
I have more then one tub of that yummy plush 
vintage Bump Chenille in an assortment of colors!

I just love the old vintage supplies.

And some Crepe Paper Ruffles

I have a tub of ruffles in the studio
pre done and ready for future craft projects.

And then I was inspired and ready to get Creative!

I got the hot glue gun fired up and started creating.

The Birthday Kitschy Kitten Keepsake is the finished product!

You see it only takes something small to find that inspiration.

If you find yourself in a creative rut look around something small might

just stir up those creative juices and your ready to Create!

Hope you all find the time to get creative this week.

And maybe enjoy a cup of tea in the Garden....

With all the stress in the world right now I find
those to be a great stress reliever!

Love,

                                                                       

Well hello out there in cyberspace ...

Anyone there anymore? Did you miss me??

Do you remember me?

Its been way to long since I did a Post on My Blog

Truth be told I was kinda locked out of it,

things changed with Blogger and I was stumped

on how to get back into my Blogger platform..

I tried numerous times and no luck.

But then today, yes just today my sister from Cottage Cozy called

me and said "you've got some very strange comments on your Blog"

Ok I thought let me try again I got out my trusty password book

and re-logged in and BAM! it worked so here I am back at it!

Of course a lot has happened in the world in my life since my last post

But let's skip to the good part!

I desperately wanted to share my recent Marketplace Find!

And I have to find like mind people that would

think like myself these are the cutest little Easter

Honeycomb baskets!

It always amazes me how any of these paper ornaments have survived

over the years. Very happy someone somewhere did treat them with

care so that people like us could treasure them once again!

I bought just 6 the seller had more, but keeping within my budget

and my Easter Tub down to one! 

I resisted the temptation... was definitely hard!

Well they arrived today in the mail!

each one stamped JAPAN

I knew you would like them!

Well It looks like Ive got some work to do on my

Blog to really make it working they way it used to

I plan on figuring that out. And I will keep posting

so please lets get this community ok like-mind

individuals back together again.

Wish Me Luck

Quarantine Crafting In The Studio

With months of staying home its really made me appreciate

the hobbies I have...

Crafting and Creating Sweet Keepsakes for my Etsy Shop

has always been a passion of mine...

Unfortunately Etsy has disappointed me .. it seems that there

are so many craft supplies and commercial items being sold..

and a lot of people that just copy others work!

And my Creations have just sat and sat ...

Giving me a Kinda sick feeling that maybe no one likes what I create!

 so I set out to look  for new outlets to sell my handmade treasures..

I'm Happy to say I have found a couple outlets for my Designs

and I am feeling once again energized that people out there

actually like my Creations... 

Sales are up and I'm getting positive feedback compliments

from buyers... with all the turmoil going on in the World right now

having this positive response well..... its a GOOD thing

And I'm back to my Blog staying positive..

Thanks for Visiting
