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 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!!!
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.
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!
If you are in need of some Spring inspiration, spend an afternoon at "Country Roads" 204 W. Chapman Old Towne Orange, Ca 92866
You'll love it!
