I made some new Christmas ornaments from a beautiful vintage sequin and beaded top I found awhile back at a boutique. I've just been waiting for it to tell me what to make. Hee-hee! These remind me of snowflakes. I absolutely love these aqua blue/green color and the glitz of the sequins. They smell so good I scented them with Japanese Cherry Blossoms fragrance. They would make great closet or draw sachets. I plan on opening my etsy store this week and these will be my first listing.
A few weeks ago I was apart of my very first swap when Sarah over at (click the link) http://gypsymermaidlife.blogspot.com/ Majestic Sea Swap, she just so happened to be my swap partner and I sent her a pillow that I made from the same top. OMG Sarah sent me some sweet items, a fabulous glitter sea banner, and this great "T" covered in seashells. She also sent a lovely aqua & seashell frame as well as a cute mermaid figurine. And can you belive it we both sent pillows. She even included a beachy metal tray for a sidetable with shells on it and a hugh sand dollar. You can see the beautiful things she sent me & I sent her here at her blog (click the link) http://gypsymermaidlife.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html.
Sarah's also hosting a VINTAGE SPOOKY TAG SWAP, see her blog http://gypsymermaidlife.blogspot.com/ for more details. I'll soon be posting more photos of some of the super finds from the past few weeks.
Tracy! Thank you so very much for your kind comments on my blog. They are very much appreciated. I did post a tutorial about making the "Blocks" called "Scottie Garland". I am new to paper crafting myself and am intimidated to no end hosting this "Party." I only use supplies on hand, it's my favorite way to craft. If you have paper and scissors and glue, you are already there! Again, thank you so much for your interest! Elizabeth

ReplyDeleteYour Christmas ornaments are very pretty with so much detail. Good luck on opening your Etsy shop! It's such a fun place to sell to and buy from people all over the world.
ReplyDeleteAh the wicked witch is the first thing that came to mind too when I looked at that button. What a find! I love your idea of paring it with crepe paper! swap-bot andi6
ReplyDeleteI love these. The ornaments especially appeal to my nostalgia - my grandmother used to make similar to your beauties when I was growing up. Keep up the great work!
