My collections of vintage glass balls.
I have always loved vintage ordinary household items. My grandparents were experts at making do with what they had, and fixing up old things that others saw no value in to create beautiful useable items. I have done various types of crafts starting with sewing when I was 13 years old. Since then I have knit, done needlework, quilted and most recently done a variety of paper crafts. I love thrift stores and antique shops and am always looking for that great unique find!!!

Retro Christmas Finds and Creations
Shaan fell in love with this moose. So had to decorate him with a flocked bell and ribbon from the Scrapyard. I then used a jar of my Dad's old marbles to hold flocked amarylis (Pier I Imports) and a kaleidoscope I purchased at Value Village. This will give Shaan a flavor of the holidays when she returns from South Africa before New Years.
A cute little elf that I found at an estate sale. I remember having a couple of these as a kid.

Happy Holidays
So am back from Montana and winding down. Had a great trip! Was able to find lots of vintage christmas carol music and a vintage table cloth. I used the sheet music to make banners and wrap fruitcake. I then found these wonderful retro glass and chenille picks at a antique market.
