I can't believe there are 10 more days until Christmas! I made a couple of last minute holiday pieces yesterday. Both from the Dollar Store: These itty bitty candles are maybe 2 inches tall. I printed out the great vintage image from The Graphics Fairy (wallet-size!) and used Mod Podge to glue them to the glass. After the second coat dried, I simply added two little red rhinestones which I think work perfectly with the vintage...
Note to self: iron your fabric before attempting to hand-stamp it! I'm a victim of my own laziness for this next project. I wanted to give a French touch to this vintage hanky so I broke out the stamps and got busy: But as you can see, I did not think to iron it beforehand. Well, that's not entirely true. I did think: maybe I should iron this first. Alas, laziness won out and if...
I was playing around with different menu ideas for Christmas Eve. Of course, I headed over to The Graphics Fairy and here's the one I decided on using.

I broke out a few of them last night to make these cute Christmas bottles: First I printed out the black and white images from The Graphics Fairy. Then I filled two of the bottles with German glitter glass (I didn't have any Epsom salt...

I love the simplicity of it and the fact that I had everything I needed for a quick little holiday touch. And since simple seems to be my word...
We hit another estate sale this morning. Brrrrr...it was a chilly wait but definitely worth it. Just take a look at today's batch of oldies but goodies: I collect old spectacles/glasses and these are perfect for my collection. I've been looking everywhere for these glass insulators in blue and I finally got them! Four to be exact. I couldn't resist the old books, cow bell and this "No Smoking" sign which is more of a...
