So much to do, so little time...so what goes first? The blogging. Oh well.
I have discovered 'etsy,' a place to sell handcrafted goodies, offered by ebay. I will be listing things there soon, so look our world. I have made some vintage styled collages incased in glass wrapped with copper foil tape. Not only are they fun, they are quite lovely, if I do say so myself.
I am the chapeter leader for our local MaryJanes Farm Chapter. There are four of us right now in the group. We have made aprons, cross stitched "We gather together to ask the Lord's Blessing" on tea dyed linen, made wax dipped snowmen, and taken field trips. We have planned a field trip to go junking to the local thrift shops to find supplies for our Crinoline ladies. The crinoline ladies will be patterned from an old one made around 1930. This lovely piece hangs in my home over my antique sewing machine.
I think we will also be making some vintages styled valentine boxes, using old sheet music, crepe paper, dresden do-das, and whatever else we need to make them Victorian and romantic.
I will get a pictured posted here of my studio...it is so full of 'stuff' it is pure wonderment to see.
About Me
- Homestead Mercantile
- Married to a great guy, Tim, mother of four grown children, grandmother of 7. I have a home filled with antiques & vintage goods. I love to create in my studio, but these days it is on the back burner while I work on genealogy. I have an have an old-fashioned Mercantile (my studio) in my home, where I can display all the treasures I have amassed over the years and open it up to ladies gatherings. Those gatherings would include teas, crafting days, quiltings, bible studies. I feel this would fill a need that goes unmet in today's world. We gals need to be able to share our lives, pray with each other as well as encourage each other.
