2026 update

Hello 2026!  Great to be back.

For the past 4 years I have been repurposing candle sticks, wall sconces and chandeliers into solar lights and not posting here as I have a FaceBook page and an Instagram account under Warm Hugs Design.  I missed sewing with my vintage linens so have decided to end making the solar lights and return to designing repurposed items with vintage linens!

I taught a very nice gal, Yari Allen of Yari's Garden Gifts in Loomis, California how to make my original solar lights and she began making and selling them this year. I have one last event coming up to sell my inventory of solar lights on May 2nd at the Alta Sierra Country Club's 5th Annual Spring Market from 9am to 5pm. Hope to see y'all there!  When I have events booked for my vintage pillowcase dresses, aprons, walker bags, and market totes I'll post here again.

Sadly to say, Warm Hugs Design business is closing it's doors and will no longer be selling at the farmer's markets.

It's been a blast these 4+ years meeting you all at the different markets and craft shows! Such an amazing experience. Hope I've inspired some of ya'll to repurpose and craft!

I wish you joy, peace and of course, warm hugs...

Summer Sale at Farmer's Market

You can still catch my Sizzling Summer Sale tomorrow July 11th at the Foothill Farmers Market in Old Town Auburn from 8am till noon.

Need a cute, vintage inspired gift? I have baby items: bibs, binky clips and onsies. Vintage button bracelets, rings and headbands are available too. Here's a photo of a vintage pillowcase dress for that special little gal in your life.  Too much to list so come out and see.

It's a great farmers market for all your yummy locally grown produce too!  Weather forecast is looking great at only a high of 82 degrees.

Have a blessed weekend!

 

 

 

 

New items...Vintage Binky Clips and button bracelets! 

Now that I'm a grandmother I have babies on the brain...  So what better way to use up some vintage materials of lace, yo-yo's, buttons and trim than to make Binky Clips! 

Simply clip on the child's clothes then attach the binky to the bottom end and whala... no lost binky when it pops out of their mouths.  And so dang cute to boot! 

 

I love vintage buttons... love creating new things using them!  Here is a stretchy bracelet in blue and white vintage buttons...so fun!

You can see these new designs in person at my next farmer's market in Auburn on Saturday, November 8th from 8am till noon.
