Treasures found ~

I have picked up a few treasures here and there in the past few weeks and thoroughly enjoyed  each
and every  moment of the *treasure hunt*.  Sometimes it takes a long time to find something
that speaks to my heart, but when it does I know it instantly.

Aren't these the greatest books ever?? I love them!!

I found several gorgeous pieces of lace and three of them had vintage rhinestones already attached.
I have never seen that before, but I love it! I also found spools for 30 cents each and picked out a
few. I may have to get some more...:)

I fell in love with this SILK ribbon instanty. It is so soft and the perfect color .

I love all the pieces together.

I couldn't go home without this Italian postcard. Isn't it sweet? 

I was in pure heaven when I found this chair at the Goodwill this past week! I was in line to
pay for a couple items, glanced beside me and there was this chair!!! I knocked a few people
over trying to get at it  grabbed it right away! Truthfully, no one was even giving it a second
glance and am I ever glad! It now resides in my bedroom. Perfection I say...:)

What have you found lately ?

FINALLY some vintage Christmas creations

I am slowly, but surely getting in the Christmas mood...

I finally found some time to do a little creating. My poor kitchen was a MESS and glitter was

everywhere this past weekend when I was all done!

I wouldn't be surprised if hubby even wore some

to work today! lol. I will say it was fun though.

I made a bunch of spool ornaments and almost

everything on them is vintage.

{except the paint,glue,jingle bells and glitter}

I used vintage tinsel, pages from an old Bible that was

falling apart, vintage songbook pages and vintage

German scrap.

Most have jingle bells hanging from the bottom, but

a few do not. I even used vintage tinsel cord on many

of them.

This flower isn't vintage either, but the rhinestone button

in the center of it is.

Many of these will be headed up to my booth, but I suppose I could be persuaded to sell a few online also if anyone is interested. :)

Have you done any Christmas creating yet? Happy Monday!

White Wednesday Spools & Lace

some *found* wooden spools that I painted white

added snippets of vintage lace a few vintage buttons

an old rhinestone pin

and I love the result.

I guess I am a bit obsessive

I just couldn't stop taking pictures

hope you enjoy them as much as I do...
