Homemade: Labels

Hi loves!  Happy Thursday to you.  Aren't you thrilled it's Thursday?  Goodness knows I am.  And I can't wait for the weekend...because for the first time in weeks, I get the opportunity to sleep in.  And let me tell you, I think I deserve it.  I was up on Monday at 4:15 am to take my sister and her family to the airport, and then on Wednesday at 3:55 am to take my mom to the airport.  I think they just like to torture me getting up that early, as usually I am going to bed not too soon before that!  So nothing like going to be at 1:00 am and then waking up at 3:55 am!  Granted, I came home and crawled back in bed but it's never the same as sleeping straight through the night, is it?  And I am not a good sleeper to begin with.  Never have been.  Anyhoo, enough rambling...just wanted you to know how excited I am at the opportunity to sleep in ;-)  Hopefully you too get to sleep in this weekend!

Okay, so on with this post.  Have I told you that I really want to sign up for a sewing class that is taking place at the end of this month?  I just haven't had the opportunity to do so yet.  I had a fabulous sewing machine once, and used to know how to use it...but it was stolen when all my stuff was stolen and I haven't touched one since.  So I thought it would be good for me to take a beginners class to learn the basics all over again, and on the latest machines...as last time I was self taught!

One of the reasons I wanted to take this class was because I had a specific project in mind that I wanted to do.  And of course while my project has something to do with moons (hehe) and other things, these strawberry mason jar labels I just happened to stumble across a matter of minutes ago are kind of along the same lines...

So stay tuned my dears - I am going to sign up for the class at the end of the month, and will hopefully be able to share my special project with you sometime not to long after that!  Well, that is if it all works out ;-)

In the mean time, you just might want to pick up some of these labels, as they are just too dang cute!  How cute would they be on favors of homemade strawberry jam?  And they have tomato ones too!  I'm thinking homemade salsa for those ;-)  Yet, you know me...they would make DARLING escort cards - with your guests name on the first line, and table number on the second...hint, hint!

Homemade: Sneak Peek

I am beyond tickled (and a little nervous) that not only do I get to show you a sneak peek of one of the things I have been working on, but that this will be the FIRST item in my ETSY store!!!

These would be DARLING one of a kind bridesmaids gifts, special favors for your bridesmaids who are throwing you a bridal shower, to say thank you, or just a gift to give.  I was originally going to make these as magnets, however I have decided that I will leave the option up to the buyer...you know me, I like options!  I am sure you do too ;-)  Anyway, here is your sneak peek...

A variety of vintage finds grouped together to make sets!  First let me say that I have only 4 sets (6 pieces including the salt shaker lid in each) of the above...two with the same flowers, and two others with different!  But the rest of the pieces are the same.  Each set will be sold individually.  And not only do I love the vintage salt shaker to hold a flower or two...but it is the PERFECT size to hold a pen or pencil!  And made into a magnet for the fridge...how cute would that be...to find a pen when needed...or hold a bloom to brighten your day.  The lambs are made out of wax, but they are not candles...and these little fellows run a tad on the pricey side (but still within reason).  However, with Spring coming I just couldn't resist!  I hope to have these listed in my Etsy store by Monday, February 28th.

Since every piece in this small collection is vintage, it only allows me to make as many as I can find.  I was so lucky to find four of each of these, as I love each piece.  But fear not, I am working on another collection of sets in red, with 6, that I should have ready to go by next week, and I will make sure I share those with you too! 

If you are interested in something in particular, or a larger numbers of sets - please do not hesitate to contact me.  I can do custom orders by the number needed, style/theme and colors too.  Granted it might take me some time to find them...but I most likely will find something that works perfectly!

Other items will be added to my Etsy store at random.  I will be listing these Luna and Chloe original design, stitched key tags by Monday as well...

Along with more in a variety of colors, one letter, one number, a variety of shapes, etc... all which will be listed soon. I have a couple of other things that will be listed soon including some non-vintage items, and  I am also working on grab bag favors for use at a wedding - so cute!

Prices will start at a couple of dollars and go up from there.  So hopefully there will be a little something for everyone.  I hope you all enjoyed this sneak peek of my Etsy store!
