Creating with my Vintage Finds 2

Those of you who have been visiting

over here before, have seen these among the

summers flea market finds

 

old worn fabric coffee filters.

I love the colors on these and thought they would

be great to create with

and so I did

with some of my vintage lace 

added to the edges

some vintage jewelry pieces

with rhinestones

and some more lace

Cheesecloth with sweet images

of vintage children

still love to create with

those fabric images.

Aren´t they just cute....

This coffee filter is really special

I´ve decorated all 4 parts on this one.

Here they are all together

cute little baskets

or cones

all ready to decorate with.

Add a little greenery and they are all

ready for Christmas

I´ve added some vintage paper stribes inside this

with some old paper, some velvet leaves, a pod

 and a sweet little christmas tree.

This one may be for me ;o)

Not sure I can part with this one.

Thank you so much for

visiting today sweet friends.

Wishing you all a beautiful day

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)
