Gorgeous Whimsical Vignettes Celebrate the Seasons and Recycle Old Things

This customer probably never sleeps. (skip the word "probably.)

She writes "I have been busy mailing out homemade blackberry /apple jelly from our patch over the summer (made 53 pints—really spreadin' the love around..lol..!) along with handmade lavender soaps and sachets from my own french lavender bushes."

She turned a damaged matlassé spread into a pillowsham, a quilt into a tree skirt and flour sacks into animals.

Here are some fabulous Valentine's projects, too

She writes that "the 'kissing crows' valentine door hanger was entirely hand stitched and was made with a very old double Irish chain quilt with true turkey red and white...embellished with old lace... I used my aging mixture (cinnamon/tea/vanilla) to further 'antique' the arrangement.

I used old quilts to cut heart shapes and hand dipped them in peppermint candy scented soy wax and tossed them in a vintage dough bowl on top of an old turkey red and white quilt piece for my eat-in kitchen table-smells yummy when we're gathered around the table or in the kitchen."

I think her items are beautiful an whimsical; it would be fun to visit her house.
