An Easter Party

The lovely and talented Joan from Anything Goes Here is hosting yet another festive party, this time, it's a "blog hop"!

Here is my contribution....

Easter treats ~ made by yours truly from all vintage materials, including paper nut cups, Easter grass, millinery flowers and spring creatures. Which one do you like best?

A Christmas Par-Tay ~ Includes Gifts!

This is my space at Vestiges Storefront in Portand. This Saturday we are having a shindig, so if you are in or near PDX, come on by! We will provide wine, food, live music and gifts for everyone on your list! We are a collective of local gals who have a flair for homemade, collectible and vintage treasures!

My space is stocked with festive stuff like this:

Just ask for One Gal's Trash!
P.S. The tartlette tin ornaments were crafted by yours truly. But you probably knew that....

Junk becomes useful....lesson # 1

At a recent estate sale, I found a perfect box full of perfect vintage notecards with perfect messages like: "Thoughts from My Rocking Chair", and "Time for a Coffee Break!". I made the edges of the notecards wavy (thank you, Fiskars) added some festive junk sale buttons, slapped them on colorful recycled card stock from Scrap and....Voila! Environmentally friendly and kitschy cards to send to your best friends who appreciate this sort of thing.

Framed for Valentine's Day

Look what I made! I added vintage buttons and keys and sparkly jewels to pink frames! I lovingly placed them in my space at Vestiges Storefront, and guess what?!? Haven't sold one! I LOVE them! Wish I could stop using the exclamation point!
