Old Lace and Vintage Hankies

We had a awesome time at the Flea Market in Elkhorn, Wisconsin yesterday!  It's a huge market and takes hours and hours to walk through. The weather couldn't have been more perfect.  Sunny and about 80 degrees.

I found treasure!  Lots of treasure!  Old lace, vintage hankies, sweet little buttons and more!  This was a bag of appliques, pretty little crocheted pieces and trim.  Perfect for crazy quilting!

Next, I found yards and yards of narrow lace in different colors:

Then, some little bags of lace for $1.00 each:

Next, I found some sweet little buttons and check out that bunch of vintage millinery grapes!  Can't wait to use that on a crazy quilt piece!

I also found some pretty vintage hankies.  The small one are for mom for her door pillows.  The pink one and the one with the roses are for my crazy quilting:

Last but not least, I found a few interesting pieces.  The needlepoint piece is for mom to make something out of.  The baby applique is for mom as well.  I thought she could make a pretty little baby pillow out of it.  Last, I found that lace table runner.  I'll share with mom.  There's a lot we can do with that!

It was a really fun and nice day of treasure hunting!  Click on the pictures to enlarge them and see things up close!

An Oldie But A Goodie!

I have nothing to share today!  LOL!!  I didn't get any stitching time in yesterday.  I did spend some time with mom working on a few holiday things but I had to leave them there for the glue to dry over night. 

I thought I'd share one of my little YouTube videos that I did last year.  I think this Halloween one is my favorite.  I love the template that I used!  Enjoy!

Crazy Quilt Halloween Door Pillow

I've stitched the seams on my little crazy quilt Halloween door pillow and now it's ready for beads.  Lots of beads!

I plan to finish up on the computer now and have a little stitching time before I go into town for groceries.

I've been keeping myself quite busy lately!  I'm getting ready to teach 3 upcoming Crazy Quilt classes, I'm working on things for the boutique and getting ready for our trip to Galena Illinois over Labor Day weekend.  I can't tell ya'll how much I'm looking forward to that!  Scott and I haven't been able to go to Galena since last Labor Day!

Speaking of the Boutique, I've added a few more new items.  Pretty little Victorian angel ornaments!

These are also available at Etsy!

Vintage Handkerchief Door Pillows

Mom has come up with such a unique little door pillow using vintage handkerchiefs! 

I just love the shape of these!  I let mom raid my vintage hankie stash so I know there are more to come.  These are now in the Boutique as well as Etsy.

Late Summer

Is it me, or is it really starting to feel like late Summer?  We planted pumpkins in the Spring and we've already picked our first pumpkin!  Had to do it before the critters ate it!  LOL!!!  I'll have to take some photos of my pumpkin patch.  Geez, it took over my yard!

I'm feeling the need to stitch on some Fall things so I started on this little Halloween design last night:

This will be a little Halloween Door Pillow and I'll add to the Boutique when I have it ready.

Speaking of the Boutique, it's Tuesday which means Tuesday's Treasures at Shabby Lane Shops!

We have mom's Scarecrow Tussy Mussy's on special for today:
