Vintage Buttons

With my big event coming up this Sunday I wanted to add some items to my booth.  Antique dealer and friend, Ann sold me some jars of vintage buttons...and here are a few of the designs I came up with:

Vintage button headbands.

And Vintage button hair clips and barrettes.

To see these in person come to my booth on May 20th in Old Town Auburn for the 45th Annual Spring Street Fair Antiques & Collectibles event!  It is from 8am until 4pm.  You can find me in the "shabby chic alley" by Bootleggers.

Vintage Pillowcase Dresses

I finally have some time to do a bit more
sewing and have made two new dresses...so
enjoying the creative process again. These
past few months I just didn't have time to
sew and missed it! I'm a happy girl again...













Love the cowboy print on
this one!

This sweet vintage pillowcase has adorable
embroidery and the bottom edge crocheted
hand work is in excellent condition...this
is a crisp white pillowcase. Can't wait
to see a little girl in this one!

Vintage Chenille Quilts

You all know how much I love vintage chenille - it's one of my favorite materials to work with these days...but my sewing machine doesn't care too much for it. Makes such a mess!
Anyway, here are two of the baby quilts I made using vintage chenille and new fabric together. My photos aren't the best but hopefully you can see how cute they turned out...
