Vintage Overload !

This past week I have been going through a lot of my supplies and re-organizing stuff..... oh goodness ! I realized I have vintage overload !! I really need to start to let go of things and pass them on to others ! Vintage lace , doilies, and such has always been a Passion of mine , so if I was at an estate sale or garage sale I just could not let it just sit there , I had to "save" it !! I will be listing a lot of my vintage linens in my second Etsy shop SecondTreasures , so if you love vintage linens keep checking my shop ! This morning I listed this adorable vintage shirt / blouse , has so much detail in the sheer fabric , I have it on a vintage wooden hanger and a cute little rhinestone pin to keep it closed !! Adorable to hang in your shabby or cottage style home !

Repurposed and Altered !

Finding various treasures along the way going to estate sales and thrifting it is amazing what little treasures combined will produce ! One of my most favorite things to create is using old or discarded items and creating something fun !

Listed this little birdie under a glass cloche dome on a pedestal on Etsy! Living a little serene life in it's own little world !

Hope you are having a wonderful , blessed & creative week !
