Love is in the air...

Old frames,
once forgotten and left to collect dust in the garage...

are putting me in a "Valentines" frame of mind...

Are you there yet????

Christmas glitter...

I liked the idea of using my big stars

as tree toppers,

so I added a clothes pin on the back
to make them easier to use...

How surprised I was
when I tried them in different displays
around my home!
I think they make everything so festive...

I hope they will also look good
on my Christmas tree,
but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to try that...
that's when I decorate it!
(Argentinian tradition)

I'm having computer troubles...grrrr

I'm not sure if I can visit you today,

but if you can, visit all the

White Wednesday girls for me!


UPDATE:
BOTH SOLD
but more in production

White Wednesday

I don't know if it was
the Christmas music at the mall,
the Christmas commercials every 2 seconds,
my fellow Dealers at Country Roads
or the wonderfully Christmas decorated blogs I visit
that have pressured inspired me
to start working in my Christmas merchandise
waaaayyyyy earlier this year....

I spent a couple of mornings
working on these stockings
and I'm really happy
with the way they turned out...

I ran out of the vintage white wool
I used to make them,
but I'm in the look out for some more!

I love this kind of projects
that I can do while watching TV.
A good movie, a basketball game,
cute supplies and I'm a happy girl!

UPDATE:
Yesterday morning went to Country Roads
to work on my Christmas display.
The stockings never got out of the box,
a sweet customer bought them all...
even the ones I haven't shown you gals yet!!!

(Too bad you can't see my happy dance....)

The old grain sacks that we all love so much

little pillows I made...

mine are made of linen,
but with the same charm
and in a budget!

All initials available...

you can order yours with 2 initials if you prefer!

$12.00 each, including shipping in the USA.

White Wednesday

I was thinking about starting this post like this:

"Fall calls for a little burlap,
and some pretty ruffles..."

But then, I realized that I use
burlap and ruffles all year long!
So I better be quiet and show you, my new table runners....

They measure 72 inches long
very generous size, perfect for even farm tables...

The ruffles are made out of a soft linen,
with raw edges for a more primitive and rustic beauty...

Burlap, linen, ruffles,
some pumpkins and you'll be ready for Fall....

or Winter...
or Summer...
or Spring!

Available now at $32.00 including shipping in the Continental USA
(only a couple more dollars for Canada)
Contact me please, if you are interested
or check Space #135 at Country Roads.


Now, I'm off to visit all the
White Wednesday girls!

Roads of inspiration

Thursday was my day to drive to Orange to fluff the space.
I do this about 2 or 3 times a week and I'm always pleasantly surprised to see that our goodies find their way to new homes.
I also take a few minutes to walk the store and check out the new merchandise and the wonderful displays...lots of talented dealers here!

Yesterday, I noticed that many spaces were already getting ready for Spring and Easter...soft colors, beautiful florals...couldn't wait to get home and work on some pieces of my own...

I like how the first two candles turned out...

I like being inspired...

The new season, I know, has much to offer.

I hope you are ready to receive it!
