Lots of pictures this week !! I am so excited about a few things. One, countdown is getting close to my friend Katie's granddaughter being born !! I am going to be a virtual Great Aunt soon !! So I thought I would share some great baby stuff I have collected. First, these great old scrapbooks for photos, Oh sweet !!
I am filling these books up with these,
This sweet old Baby Book from 1929, and the vintage baby shoes I found last weekend. Sigh, :)
Hubby took me to dinner last night and to a thrift store on the way home last night. I found this Gem, in the middle of the funky wirage,. lol , Check it out, it is some kind of basket that opens up.
Well, a bit too funky for me !! lol So, I took it out of the wire and framed it to add to a few other China painted tiles I have. Now, isn't it pretty ? It was quite dirty before too. Eeeewy !!!
Speaking of thrift store stuff, here is what Hubby found for me last week for my paints and glitters. I painted one pink, shown here and the other a soft aqua. I am redoing my craft room so I will show that in a few weeks. Thank You Honey !! :)
I am having a Giveaway !!!!! To launch a few doll kits I have put together for etsy , I am giving away a 1930's old compo dolly that I have redressed and foofed up !!! Just leave a comment and I will enter you for a drawing for next Saturday for this sweet pink lady !!!
Om My Gosh, is she sweet or what ???I put together some vintage doll kits for your embellishing pleasure. You get your choice of redhead, blond or brunette . These are new old stock from the 1950's and unopened !!! Wow, I grabbed these quick !! I have made crepe paper dresses, and tulle overskirts that you just tie onto the dolls. You get a 1/2 yard of seam binding , a matching forget me not sprig and a handmade felt hat. I have done most of the work for you, you can add feathers, jewels, glitter or whatever foofy thing you would like and can individualize them. You can make millinery hats, paper hats and use this hat on another vintage doll you might have ( fits Nancy Ann dolls ) They are HERE on my etsy.
So, please leave a comment and I will enter you in the drawing for next week, the winner will be announced on Saturday !! Hope you have a Great week !!
Hugs,
Rhea
