More Christmas

Another sweet vintage tree topper to add to my collection~
I love displaying these on this pretty green shred in a pretty silver dish. I found this at the
thrift shop today for $1.50 . This little thing made my whole day! Also picked up some white vintage damask napkins. I just love them and feel like I can never have enough of them .
I also made a bunch of these for the barn sale next weekend . I took old vintage reflectors and added some sparkly tinsel with vintage images and they turned out so sweet and christmasy.

I also added some pretty things like this old satin ribbon pin cushion here in my shop along with a lot of other pretty findings like old doll dresses,vintage wallpaper and craft bits to make things with !!! Now wouldn't this make a lovely christmas present! Especially for the sewer or shabby person in your life. I would pin on a little message with a pearly corsage pin.
Will be back with pictures of my nearly finished all white tree with all vintage pale pink /silver ornaments! Hopefully I'll get it photographed this weekend to show ya!

Christmas Ideas Pt. 1


I came up with these sweet little christmas gift bags using some vintage muslin I had and a few old christmas postcards.
Photobucket
First, I sewed on the old postcard and then stitched down each side of the bag, pretty easy peasy!~Then the fun part was finding embellishments to add to these .The blue ribbon is an old taffetta with a vintage milk glass rhinestone broach attached.The other has a pale pink crinkled ribbon with a velvet flower with a rhinestone in the center.

Just something so pretty and simple! Check back for Christmas Ideas Part 2.!!!
