The 12 Days of Christmas!

This would be the perfect junker / DIY'ers  12 days of Christmas! 

I can say, I've already got most of it, although 2 extra hands and the vintage truck for hauling all my junk would be he icing on the cake!

Speaking of 12 Days of Christmas - I'll be hosting sales in my Etsy shop for the next 12 days. New sale announced every other day, on a specific set of items. Today starts the sale, with 50% off all pillows! While supplies last and limited to items in stock. All sale items are ready to ship, so you'll get them quickly! 

Here's an example of some of the pillows on sale! 

Follow on Instagram or Facebook to find the new sales and announcements. 

P.S. I plan to go Live on Facebook when we light up the gazebo and camper for Christmas, so be sure to follow and be watching for notifications!

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,
I really, really, really need a turquoise or red vintage truck to pull my glamper.
I promise, I've been a good girl this year.

 The crown is optional on the truck, but we would be sure have fun junkin' and glamping with a crown on our truck...

 Red truck...

 turquoise truck, I won't be picky...

If you can't wrap it up, that's ok,

you can just park it by Miss Gussie and we will both be so happy. 

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
Love,
Janice and Miss Gussie

Pillow Talk!

Can we have a little pillow talk?

I've been busy the last couple of weeks working on some new items for my etsy shop. I have created some new pillow covers in several different styles from rustic country to shabby chic french farmhouse and elegant gold. I had a big photoshoot yesterday and all the items are now available in my shop. All the pillow covers are made to fit an 18 by 18 inch pillow form.

You can also see a glimpse of some of the other new products! I took over 200 pictures yesterday and listed nearly 4o new items in my shop, including the rope wreaths, buntings, bouquets, and ankle boots. 

I live and work in a small home. I see people complain that their second home / weekend house is only 1000 square foot and think to myself how much I could do with 1000 sq ft! Storing lots of pillows is hard for me to do, so I thought I couldn't be the only one. You can easily transform the look of your existing pillows by slipping the covers over them. No need to go hide that pillow in the closet or behind the couch when you want to change them out for a different look. The covers have an envelope style back, like a pillow sham for your 18 inch pillows. They can easily be stored in a closet or drawer if you decide to change them out seasonally and being lightweight, they will ship more economically than bulky boxes. 

I have a couple of the damask print pillows on my couch now and a matching curtain in the living room. I thought of the colors as rustic red and tan until I read the fabric description online. They call it tan, taupe, coral and peach damask. How would you describe it? The damask fabric coordinates will with the elegant gold pillow with fringe and the rag wreath. The wreath has tan, gold, white, and damask print fabric, along with tan burlap and white and ivory vintage lace. Get the wreath and the pillow covers will ship for just 25 cents each! 

(The Kay-Bee seed sack pillow, above, and the camper and angel wing pillows will continue to come with pillow forms.)

 Here's a couple close ups of the french letter and postage stamp pillow and the burlap scrambled alphabet.

 Faux leather and turquoise fringe for your rustic country home! I always pick out fabrics that I like. I could pull off any of these looks in my living room. I guess thats why I like more neutral colors in my house, so that I can change a look by adding pillows or decorations.

Miss Gussie, the glamper,  was excited to get to show off for the photoshoot! Stay tuned to see more new items or head over to my shop to find them now. 

Roots and Wings Collection - Now Available!

What if I fall? Oh my darling, what if you FLY? -e.h.

Introducing the Roots and Wings Collection!

I'm so excited to announce my Roots and Wings Collection to you this week! I've been working late hours at the sewing machine, to prepare a collection of pillows, tote bags, caps and more. Here's a sampling of products that will be available later this week in my etsy shop! There's lots of cute camper pillows that would be great to decorate your vintage glamper and burlap pillows with wings and qoutes. 

The bed of my camper is full of pillows and bags! 

I love the tv show Nashville - When I heard the song Roots and Wings sang by Sam Palladio and Gunnar Sizemore, I immediately downloaded it! Love, love, love it! 

"So many place I wanna go

So many people I wanna know

I wanna stay

I wanna leave

I want it all

I've got to believe 

You can have Roots and Wings

You can have everything 

You can know where you're from 

and still wanna fly" 

I came across a beautiful fabric wing at a garage sale and together it all inspired the collection. 

 "give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back, and reasons to stay." - Dalai Lama

Then there's the fabulous vintage Shasta campers with wings and my love for glampers, so that all fell into line with the theme. There's going to be several camper shopping tote bags with different color campers with assorted lace trims and fringe. 

The double wings and heart are another favorite. Layers of old script or French postage stamp fabric are included with doilies, lace, and old hankies to create shabby chic, distressed wings. 

"What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?" -e.h.  Last year, as I contemplated making big changes I my life, this quote would always pop up on my Instagram or pinterest feed, at just the right time! It was an encouraging word to me, to believe in my dreams and go far it. I'm planning on keeping one of these pillows in my camper. 

There's also going to be a couple caps with a cross, wing and flower.

I've heard the dodge commercial with Miranda Lambert's Roots and Wings song and love it as well! We are both from the same area (I'm about an hour from her Pink Pistol store in Texas,) so I can definitely relate to having red dirt stains on my boots and jeans, calloused fingers, tall pine trees and some of the things she sings about. Sure hoping the song will be released soon, because I can't wait to hear the rest of it! Jeff's been hearing my music playing from the workroom and he ask if I had anything other than Miranda, George Strait and Nashville on my playlist? The answer: that's about it! 

There's going to be several vintage seed sack pillows included in the #RootsandWingsCollection. Farming, seeds, roots - all seem to go together. These are all vintage seed sacks and would be great in your farmhouse decor. I've still got to photograph a few more, before the collection goes live.
