Creating with my Vintage Finds

I´ve finally started creating with

my finds from the summers flea markets.

Remember these two?

A vintage grater and a strainer.

I´ve made them into sweet little christmas decorations

the strainer got a sweet little vintage girl inside

with a twig, moss and a little bit of cheesecloth

I´ve added some chandelier prismes

at the button - also found at the flea

and with a piece of vintage lace added as hanger

it turned out like this.

The grater is altered like a little cone.

Inside is a sweet little crochet doily,

a vintage wooden spool, some velvet leaves

and a vintage candle holder

used on the christmas tree in 'the old days'

decorated with vintage lace pieces

and a sweet vintage fabric image

this is how it looks like afterwards

Not too early for christmas, right ;o)

Wishing you all a beautiful

and creative day

Fall and Finds

Fall have certainly arrived over here.

Not Fall as in blue skies and bright sunny

but Fall as in rain, storm and fog.

Last weekend was beautiful though

and we decided to go out for a trip

and enjoy the wonderful weather

This is Fredensborg Castle

One of the Royal familys residenses.

It´s so beautiful with the copper roof.

It´s only about 20 minutes drive from where I live

and we enjoy going there occasionally

there´s free entrance to the park behind the castle.

So beautiful and relaxing.

On the way back we stumbled upon

a little sign for a flea market.

Well hided in an industrial area

so ofcourse we had to peek inside. 

I managed to find a few scores for almost nothing.

A well worn silver tray

an old grater and a torn old german dictionary

and this....

a beautiful green french bottle

at least I think it´s a real french bottle

looking at the cork.

I think it´s beautiful anyway

Today was the lokal football clubs anual garagesale

Or I thought it was, only to find out that the club only served

coffee and cake, and had hired out the hall to different

dealers to set up booths.

Anyway

I found a few goodies today too

two vintage white table clothes

a bag filled with vintage wooden spools

a pair of vintage leather gloves

and a bunch of doilies

and some very cool french chocolate molds

all ready to alter.

It´s very foggy here today

but fortunately not cold.

I´m off for a walk - doctors order :o)

How is the fall weather at your place?

Wishing you all a beautiful day

The Stitching Project

Remember the Stitching project

I made some time ago?

I had a christmas project in mind

and here´s what it turned put to be

my humble stitched words

together with layers of vintage lace

and some vintage white buttons

it all ended up as pretty Christmas Stockings

Wouldn´t they be perfect on a mantle, or a door for christmas

with a few branches inside or maybe a little gift.

Linking up with

White Wednesday over at

Faded Charm 

I also want to say a big Thank You to all

my new followers - I´m so happy to see you here.

I see I´m heading fast towards a

700 followers giveaway

Wishing you all a wonderful day

*Hearts*

Hello Sweet Friends

and thank you so much for all

your get well wishes.

I´m sorry I haven´t been able to reply to you all

individually this time - hope that is okay.

I´ve started the threatment at the Physio

and I have to say it´s a tough one - urgghh

Apparently there´s a lot of myalgia

so this is going to take a long time, but I´m confident

it´s be good in the end.

Enough of that

I have been able to slowly start working in the studio again

and since I had to skip some of my plans on my to-do list

I went straight ahead towards Christmas

and have been making sweet little hearts

These are made from one of the vintage table cloths

I have found at the Flea this summer.

with a little piece of tea dyed muslin stamped

 with a whreath stamp and some silver glitter

on the front, I though they would make a sweet

little decoration for Christmas

A few have been listed in the shop

Never too early for Christmas right....

It´ll be here before we know ;o)

*********************************'

I´m currently working on bears for the

This is going to be a fantastic online show.

I can´t show you any of the bears yet, but I promise

they´ll be something very speciel.

Make sure to pop over and get the details.

I´ll post more about this later.

Thank you so much for visiting today

and wishing you all a wonderful day

A Health Warning and Work in Progress

So Fall have arrived over here.

With cooler temperatures and the most

beautiful view to the forrest with all the different colors.

and then I went down with a massive headache.

This one is a tough one

not the old migraene but something different

so I had to make a doctors apointment

and the answer was: stress related and a blood pressure

way out of control - urghh - and so the cure is

more medicine, physiotherapy and exercise.

so

I haven´t been able to keep up with things

and to work much in the studio.

It´s better today though and I wanted to show you

some work in progress

I´m working on a private swap

for a wonderful and talented blogging friend

here´s a few sneak peeks

of what will be send of end of October

Can´t show you more at this time

as that would ruin the surprice

for my sweet friend L.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend

and make sure to enjoy life

and take care of yourself.

Todays Finds

Hello my sweet friends

A little update on this beautiful sunday.

We´re having a wonderful indian summer

and yesterday was the varmest day ever on an October 1th

Sunny and about 77 degress

I haven´t been able to spend much time in

the studio since our vacation -even grown up

kids needs a lending hand from time to time.

The 'to-do' list is growing and I´m a wee bit behind.

The Flea market season is almost over

and today was my last change to hit one.

Most of the booths were with clothes and shoes

today, but I did find a few with some cool old stuff

and here´s todays finds

pretty creamy velvet ribbon

one with a wonderful edge

a few vintage handlerchiefs

and some lace and crochet pieces

a wonderful vintage photoalbum.

These are really rare over here, so lucky me.

Filled with wonderful old photos too.

Great score I think

and

a pair of pretty little black girls shoes.

Thought they would be perfect for display

or maybe with a little bear inside.

Thanks for popping in today

and wishing you all a wonderful day.
