repurposing little bits and scraps

While tidying up my vintage scraps, laces and trims, I decided some pieces were the perfect size for little needle cases. I set out to work this morning and created two little cuties for my etsy shop.

Little projects such as these are a fabulous way to use up the leftover special vintage and antique linens (which otherwise you'd feel guilty tossing). Actually, many needlecases and pincushions of long ago were also made of vintage scraps back then as well.

Four black felt pages inside each case should be plenty to store a seamstress's needles and pins. (They are both currently listed in my shop.)

While I had out my camera... and while I had out some of my favorite trims... I just couldn't help but snap a quick photo of these laces! ;)
Happy Thursday!

rosey additions to my etsy shop

This past week I created some necklaces for the art gallery which sells my jewelry. So while I had my supplies out, I made two lampwork and pearl bracelets and put them into my etsy shop. My personal favorite of the two is this Parisienne Roses one above. ;)

Beachy inspired lampwork roses bracelet.

I've also added some vintage treasures to my shop as well.

I also found the time to sew a few Provence lavender sachets as well.



Thank you for visiting! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
