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,

                                                                       

Finding Vintage Dolls in Random Places!

This is exactly what I spotted on a shelf at my local Goodwill Thrift Shop

I must say it looked pretty messed up but in looking a little closer

I spotted one of my favorites.... a Nancy Ann Storybook Doll!

When I got it home I carefully Removed the massive amount 

of tape that was wrapped around this grouping.

Being ever so cautious not to cause too much damage.

Do you spot what I spotted the little doll with the 

pale ink bonnett?

Now the other dolls that were in that little plastic tub

were not impressive but I do know that just sometimes

those cheap hard plastic dolls body parts can come in handy

when I have a long forgotten Storybook Doll

that in fact is in need of a new limb!

You ask "how much did I pay for these?"

A whole $2.99.. not a bad find!! 😊
