Cones and Charms

In a festive mood this weekend must be the little sprinkling of snow on the ground. Although we spent most of the weekend do house chores raking, and putting up some lights on the outside, shopping for ingredients for a Chili to simmer while we work. I did a few little cones, and a couple of sparkling Christmas Charms too. I was happy to receive my order of little paper boxes for my charms so each one will come wrapped in a lovely way.

Christmas Paper Bundle

If you are in need of a little help with your yule gifting and making cards I have put together a bundle of my favourite Christmas images in this little set. I love the way the silver glitter doves turned out, I plan to make some more for my garlands and tree. The colours in this set are soft cremes and light blues very muted and pretty combinations for vintage pieces.

New Pretties

I have made some more charms and here is a few pretties on the pillow. I just love how they look around the house, I have them tied around pillar candles, hanging from a vase of flowers and even on my doll. These charms are listed in my shop.

Antique Samplers

I came across some wonderful images of 19th century Samplers that I had to share with you. These are some pricey pieces are from a antique dealer in New England and would be bought by a serious collector. But what good is that to have such works of homespun lovely needlework hidden away and enjoyed by one person only? I ask myself. A work of such detail and meaning carefully crafted by a lady or young girl whiling away the hours by the fire lit hearth on a dark November evening in the families Salt Box house. I love the pictorial images of the New England houses featured on these works. I can just imagine the Salt Box house standing tall against the elements of nature around them, winds whipping through the surrounding farm fields, sleet and snow weathering the paint and wood. Our ancestors were hardy people.
