Someone was nice enough to post these vintage Bingo cards on Pinterest earlier this week.
I printed the images out on to cardstock. As luck would have it, I had three frames readily available to frame them.
There are four avid Bingo players in this house so I'm sure I'll be printing out these boards again for us to play on.
In the meantime, I have some "new" vintage art to admire!

I popped into Ikea over the weekend. They have a ton of pretty stuff out already for spring. Since snow is once again in our forecast, I just couldn't bring myself to grab anything for the outdoors. Instead, I grabbed these two pretties.
I believe they are candle holders, although I'm sure you could use them for anything - like holding some faux Dollar store roses.
I love the shabby look and feel to them.
These are some random goodies I picked up last week at our local church thrift store.
Some frames, peat pots and Mason jar lids...
And wood hearts and wooden spools.
Not bad for $2!

I found a neat pin on Pinterest showing you how to make your own parchment paper sack. I'm a huge fan of glassine sacks, but wanted to try something different.
Since I have a large stash of this clear paper (I can't recall if it's tracing paper or parchment paper since I tossed the packaging ages ago), I broke out a few sheets yesterday to make some pretty Valentine's Day sacks.
I folded the paper in half and then glued the sides together with one edge overlapping slightly. Then I cut off the edges on the bottom, folded it up and glued to the back. This closes up your sack.
Then I got busy hand-stamping the LOVE on the front and adding some sweet nothings to it. I also added some faux pearl embellishments and tea-stained seam binding. It's filled with Scrabble letters and...
Romeo & Juliet book paper, a vintage Valentine's Day card, hand-stamped Je t'aime carnival tags and some LOVE muslin ribbon.
These would work for so many holidays. I'm actually already envisioning some for Easter.

I picked up this little jar from our local thrift store a couple of weeks ago. It pretty much sat on the kitchen counter until yesterday when I decided to give it a quick makeover.
I added some Dollar store faux moss to the bottom.
Then I added some faux eggs (notice how I didn't call them Easter eggs!) and this little nest tag I've used before.
I'm thinking it would also be nice to add some candy hearts to it for Valentine's Day. But since I haven't been able to travel too far because of the weather, this works for now.

Guess what we got yesterday? Yup, you guessed it: more snow. Even more coming tonight. Sadly, this weather is doing nothing to keep the creative juices flowing. I got nothing. Except a few quick Valentine's Day pieces that literally took maybe 10 minutes tops.
Dollar store clothes pins hand-stamped with XOXO.

I'm itching to start some spring and Easter projects. Hoping that might nudge Mother Nature along.
