Heart Shaped Wicker Chair

4/29/2018

This weekend I happened across an estate sale.  Of course I had to stop, and I was so glad that I did.  I found this pretty little wicker chair.  The back is a beautifully intricate heat shape.  I had never seen anything like it before, and so yes, I bought it.

Johnson Bros China

Isn't this the sweetest china?  The entire set wasn't available, but I bought all that was on hand.  It is Johnson Bros and is made in England.  I thought it would be fun to paint and decoupage a tray that went with the china.  This would be perfect for Mother's Day!

Vintage Market

Last Saturday I had a booth in our local Vintage Market put on by our local Chamber of Commerce.  I wasn't sure how I would do, and I was so happy with the outcome!  My best sellers were my pillows, which I love making!  I sold my little rocker and all of my sewing boxes.  I sold the little antique dresser I just finished, and met so many wonderful people! I even found a shop that will take my goods on consignment in the fall.  I thought it would be fun to show you some of the items that I have blogged about and were sold on Saturday.

Display Cabinet

4/20/2018

This little display cabinet was a pretty quick fix.  I had to cut and replace the glass in the front of the cabinet.  Then I sewed a collaged fabric piece for the inside of the cabinet.  I lined the back panel with corkboard before I attached the fabric.  I was going to make this piece to display vintage sewing items, but then I thought I would add hooks to the top and keep it neutral so it could be used to display jewelry, hang family photos, and really the possibilities are endless!

Repurposed Antique Dresser

I bought this cute little dresser from a friend.  I had to scrape and sand all the wood off the top layer, but it was worth it!  I painted it and then hit it with the sander to give it back some of its character.  It has cute little antique wheels and is solid wood.

Cathedral Windows

I love these little Cathedral windows!  I keep trying to perfect the process because they are so time consuming.  The first ones I did completely by hand, and then I started reading on the internet ways to make the process a little easier.  (The sewing machine is your friend!) I found a great tutorial at lovelylittlehandmades.blogspot.com.  Here is what I have so far.  I'll update as I progress!

The completed windows here are sewn by hand, but now I think I will be able to complete them by machine!
