You can find the listing in the shop soon! I will also have four listings of cute charm packs of smaller sized pieces. Perfect for crafting!

Vintage Hankies with a Spring Feel

All soaked, dried, and pressed these four vintage hankies are available in the [shop] now. Their spring colors of yellow, blue, and pink are sure to brighten up a room!

That Old Blue House

Lisa, from That Old Blue House, creates the most lovely, understated jewelry. Her unique pieces are created with well-loved but forgotten pieces of vintage lace, quilts, paper, buttons and found objects.

While I find it difficult to narrow it down to one favorite, I do really love the crazy quilt pins. Visit her shop [here] or follow her twitter [here]

Vintage Oil Paintings...

 

I sold a tiny oil painting a few years ago on etsy and really have regretted it. It was so bright and pretty...small and cute. Often I think about starting my own collection of small sized, vintage oil paintings. This morning I hunted down some really great vintage oil paintings. [of all sizes!]

I am sure every is re-posting this video from etsy's blog, but I just enjoyed it so much that I am re-posting it on here. This couple is inspiring. I only wish they had before and after images of their home in Canada.
