Just sharing a few holiday-inspired projects from the weekend. Some hand-stamped holiday fabric tags. Wouldn't they look sweet with some red/white baker's twine?! Jingle Bells tea towels. These are actually ones that I made for me and my mom. The ones in my Etsy are minus the bells. I purchased the image from Graphique on Etsy. I plan on also using it for a pillow.

What can you get for $3 at our local church thrift store? How about a vintage copy of Peter Pan, an antique dictionary and 2 more dictionaries for my boys? How cute are these little charms? Crowns and Fleur de Lis, oh my! But this one is by far my favorite... This gorgeous old chair. It definitely needs to be cleaned up. I want to paint it, but the hubby says no way. Either way,...

The moral of my story: read the measurements before buying. Now, wish me luck!...
I picked up a couple of these wood coffins from our local Dollar store a few weeks ago. The 9 year old asked me if we could design his together. How could I say no? We started by giving it a few coats of chalkboard paint - well, technically I did the painting. He was more of the supervisor, lol. I suggested adding the skeleton (also from the Dollar store) and some cotton to prop...
