It has been alot of fun making the little pillows ~ today I got on a roll while I was watching a movie and started making roses out of old lace fabric that has been tea stained ~ ( I am thinking that is a run on sentence ....)
They will be adorning more pillows soon ~
You can get a great and easy to follow tutorial at Everyday Chaos ~
I found this gorgeous lace while I was gone and just love the intricate detail ~ I always wonder about the history of these wonderful old things ~ Wouldn't it be neat to know why it was purchased in the first place, what it was going to be used for, what its journey was before I found it ~ It was wrapped on a piece of cardboard that says it was purchased in 1910 ~
I will be starting an etsy site soon and will be listing some of it ~ I can't wait !!!
I just listed, on my website,
some more
Vintage Lace Cuffs and
Tattered Vintage Rose Pins ~
I had to do a post on them
because I love them all piled
together :)
The other day I was tea staining a bunch of old lace and linens and decided to save the dryer sheets to try and make some roses with them ~ I was thinking about Barbara Jean at Treasures from the Heart's tutorial on tea bag roses ~
They came out really sweet and are super easy ~
Mine came out the perfect color just by sticking them in the dryer with my wet tea stained linens and lace ~
First you tri fold the dryer sheet lengthwise ~
Then you start to roll and put a dab of hot glue being careful to not burn your fingers ~
Keep on rolling ~
Then when you are done you take a needle and thread and sew through the bottom and then wrap the thread around the base tightly to hold it all together ~ sew through the base again and tie a knot ~
Fluff them out until they look good to you ~
This one I dyed pink with some food coloring ~
It is time to get back to work after a long weekend so I have listed
two little Altered Baby Shoes and some Vintage Cottage Pillows
