Pull up a chair! We'll be hosting a small Christmas eve gathering this year and here's what I'm thinking our table will look like. This is the first year I'm getting to use these Christmas plates that I got at Home Goods last year: I love a plaid tablecloth for Christmas and I got this one at Target. The rooster plates are from Kmart. The big ornaments are from a local nursery called Hicks. I bought...
I just love this tea party image from Alice in Wonderland! I saw on Pinterest that someone had taken a beautiful black and white photo and added it to a votive with Avery see-through paper. I had a couple of sheets handy, so I made these: Here they are without the candles. Can you see the little rhinestone embellishments? If you haven't tried the Avery see-through paper yet, it's really great. Just put in your...
'Tis the season to pay homage to Santa: Vintage Santa image on metal tin. Great last minute gift for a teacher or co-worker. Hand-stamped Santa tags to hang from gifts of all shapes and sizes. Vintage Santa candleholders. Santa sheet music. Something my children would say! And finally my favorite Santa ever...Acquired at a garage sale over 10 years ago. The best $3 I ever spent!

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. The photos are a bit light and my printer seems to be running out of color ink, but you get the idea: I still have to work on moving over the Fresh Greens line. But isn't this scroll just perfect?! I'm going to print some out in...
