I finally figured out the problem, still not sure how to fix it though.  I usually use flock as my browser and for some reason  it was not letting me upload photos on word press.  The only way I got these photos uploaded is by doing it through explorer.  I read something on word press help about clearing my cachet, have no idea how to do that, but it is supposed to help the problem. 

Enough of that, lets get on with the fun finds.  A couple of weekends ago the kidos and I went to an Estate sale.  The girls were great and were having fun digging through the boxes of stuff. Graham was so not fun, he wanted to get down and run around like a crazy person. YIKES. 

I got this lovely vintage pottery urn, it is pretty big.  I got it for super cheap because it has a chip in it, you can not see it when it is with all my other pottery.

I love this vintage baby book, it is empty too.  

Vintage childrens cups, amber tooth pick holder and a vintage SNUFF container.  No idea what snuff actually is, but I love the old container.

I needed these like I needed a hole in my head, but I love them. They are still sitting in my dining room until I have the chance to find a home for them.

Chad is reading over my shoulder and not seeing the item he said” I think a hole in the head would be better”.  Such a card!

A vintage pink towel for 25 cents and a set of vintage sheets still in their package.  Gwen likes them, so they make end up being hers, I had projects in mind.  We shall see.

I bought a box of vintage sewing items without looking through it.  I found these pink electric scissors.  They do not work, but I think they will look cute in my sewing room.

A vintage noise maker, a small vintage santa mug and a vintage ornament.  The kids love the noise maker.

The fabric in the background is a table cloth, I love the color and think the flowers look like poinsettas.  The aqua creamer and sugar will be going into the Shoppe. I am keeping the bowl, it goes with the others we have. 

I love this vintage purse, I think it will be super cute for the summer.

Gwen was super excited when she dug this out of a box. She wears her vintage aprons around the house all the time.  So I paid the 50cents because she was so excited about it.  It is super cute:)

I love this vintage nighty, I can not wait to wear it!

Gabby was super excited to find this jewelry box, they each all ready have small ones.  Hers is overflowing, so this was a perfect find.  I found the jewelry at a sale in my hood.

Here are some of the goodies I got in the box of sewing supplies. 

I went to a sale today and got a few fun items, I will post them later in the week.  I hope to get some new fun items added to the Shoppe in the next day or two.

Hope the rest of your weekend is great!

I have been sewing, sewing, sewing.  Everyday, I spend a at least three hours sewing.  In the evenings while we watch TV I cut out projects or knit.  I also added a ton of things to the Shoppe, some sewn some vintage. I have also been busy matching up partners for the Vintage Pink Christmas Swap.  If you are participating, I hope to get your partners info to you tomorrow!

Remember a couple of days ago I said MCcoy, here it is.  I picked it up at the estate sale I went to last Saturday.  It is in the Shoppe in the China cupboard.

New Ephemera packet. Be My Baby

Here are some of the reusable market bags I have made.  They are also now in the Shoppe.

Fun vintage pin, now in the Shoppe.

Fun bangles.

Pretty vintage Holly pin.  I entered a ton of other jewelry, so check it out.

Ok, had to show you this one, isn’t it pretty.

I will be posting all the fun sewing projects in the next few days.

Just a quick post before bed. I just added three new items to the Shoppe. I have about twenty more I will hopefully get added tomorrow.

I went to an Estate Sale on Saturday, I only picked up a couple of things, this was one of them. Isn’t it darling. You can find this is the Shoppe, under the For the Home Category.

I got this quilt and the next quilt for 6$. Originally the lady said five for this one and I said I had to think about it because it is in bad shape. So I looked around some more and I found another quilt. I asked her how much and she said ” do you want them both?” YES! How about 6$ for both. SOLD It is in terrible shape, there are quite a few holes and stains, it really needs to be soaked, I will have to do it in the tub because of all the tears.

This one is in really good shape. There are a couple small stains, so I think it will get a soak also. There are no holes which is good. It is super heavy, which will make drying it interesting. I think it is made of a bunch of vintage feed sacs. I love that it was only 3$:)

Here are the two wreaths I have been working on, they still need a bow and hanger, so they will be in the Shoppe SOON.

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!! I got it at the estate sale too, it was 1$. It is made in Italy. I have a lidded one that my friend Heidi in Napa gave me for my bday!

This box of cards was 25cents. Love the roses.

I did get one other item, but you will have to wait until I enter it in the Shoppe. I will give you a clue”McCoy”.

This lovely vintage three strand necklace is now in the Shoppe in the Jewelry and Baubles category. Why am I not keeping it you ask? I all ready have a few that are very similar.

You can find this darling vintage clutch in the wardrobe section. I also have a couple vintage silver purses:) I do love the rose clasp on this one. This is perfect for the up coming holiday season:)

I hope to get the rest posted tomorrow. A few sewn items, a few vintage items and another Ephemera packet.

Graham is teething again, and he is a big ol’ sissy so I must go deal with him!

I participate in  the “very vintage Halloween swap” hosted by Heidi at Foxgloves Fabric & Folly.  This was Heidi’s first time hosting a swap and she has been a wonderful hostess, Thank you Heidi!

My partner for this swap was Donna at Party Wishes.  Donna resides back in my home state of CA.  Donna was super speedy getting her package mailed out to me. 

Donna sent me these two cute pumpkin decorations.  She also sent three packages of candy, one for each kido. As you can see Graham and I all ready ate half of his before I took the Photo.

Everything was wrapped up pretty with ribbons and tags, even the label on the outside of the box was orange with really pretty black calligraphy.

She also sent me this darling witch necklace.

Thank you Donna!!

Here are all the goodies I sent Donna.

I made this pumpkin for her.

I made these vintage inspired Halloween magnets.

I altered this vintage game card. This is probably my favorite item I sent her.  I might have to make my self one.

Apparently Donna and I were thinking a like with the necklaces.  I made this also.

You can see a close up of the black cat pillow here, I made one for her and one for me:)

Speaking of swaps, I am hosting my first swap.  It is the “Vintage Pink Christmas Swap”.  Friday is the last day to sign up.  For all the details and to sign up, click here.  If you are all ready signed up for the swap, please make sure you have received an email from me and returned your information. Otherwise I will not be able to assign you a partner.

Have a great day.

I will start by saying this post is super long and there are a TON of photos, sorry.  I have been busy making things, and I wanted to share.  I have also added a bunch of new things to the Shoppe, which you will see in this post as well.  I told Chad the other night, ” even if I could craft and sew all day every day, I will never in my lifetime finish all the projects I want to do.”  But I’m sure going to try!!!

I finally finished this quilt I started last year. You can read the original post here.  I started out making this quilt for Graham, but Gabby being the dog lover she is begged for it.  I have since started cutting out a vintage cowboy quilt and Gwen and I are debating weather hers will be cute owls(me) or kitty’s (her), We shall see what happens and if it takes me a year for each one, yikes.

This is the quilt all folded up into itself.  It is called a quillow.

Vintage Story Book Pillow.

One of Chad’s co-workers special ordered this pillow. I love how it turned out.

I made these darling pumpkins a little over a week ago. Just got around to photographing them. I found the pattern here. They were super quick and easy to make. The part that took the longest was hand stitching the stem, worth it though. I also found the knitted snake pattern from this post, you can go here if you want the pattern.

I made this yesterday. It is a vintage quilt wreath. You can hang it for Christmas if you are not into traditional decor(like me)or year round. The fabric is mostly vintage feed sac from what I can tell. When I bought the quilt pieces, they were just that. They were cut and sewed into half moon shapes. I knew when I bought them, that I would not be making a quilt with them( too much work). So I was glad to finally figure out something to do with them. I have a few more in varying stages of completion. They will be in the Shoppe later this week.

A Vintage Rose

You can read the original post about this necklace and the next necklace here. They are now in the Shoppe.

“Pretty In Pink”

You can also find all of these vintage pins in the Shoppe in the Jewelry & Baubles category.

Perfect for the Holidays.

Add some sparkle to your life.

A couple of these started life as earrings, and somewhere along the way lost their mate. I altered them and now they are pretty pins.

This is perfect for your vintage kitchen. You can find it in the Shoppe in the Linen closet.

A Halloween bauble

- Skeleton-

This necklace was fun to make, I used a vintage dictionary page for the charm and added a vintage Skeleton key.

In the Shoppe just in time for Halloween.

After months of talking about it, I finally got around to making Ephemera packets. I had so much fun putting these together. I can’t wait to make more.

“Spooky” Halloween Packet. Each of these packets are full of vintage goodies, you can find a complete list of the contents in the Shoppe under the Ephemera category. There are only one of each available.
