Christmas Time is Coming!

I've been trying to wait till November to really start talking about Christmas! So, now I'm excited to share a few new items in my etsy shop!

There's an eclectic mix of items from rustic lariat rope Christmas wreaths and cowboys and cactus pillow covers to shabby chic / French Country pillows and tote bags, and gold glittery bird cage centerpieces featured in this round. Still in production and in need of being photographed are new burlap stockings and additional pillows and totes, so check back soon for those!

Also, for anyone local, I will be set up with Gussie the Glamper at the Starry Nights Art Studio and Vintage Rose Venues for a holiday open house on November 21st. Angea, with Rooster Tails will again be joining me with her handmade items and we are excited about this opportunity to set up together with Christmas items (and maybe a few last minute Thanksgiving decorating sale items.) I'll be sharing more details soon, but mark your calendars now!

There are several rope Christmas wreaths with an assortment of Christmas greenery, pine cones, and berries. Some feature a burlap bow and poinsettias, all while keeping with a rustic, country theme, perfect for your western home decor. 

How about a little turquoise and red? Y'all knew I would have some turquoise thrown in to Christmas, right? 

Here's a wider view from my photo shoot this week. 

Who's loving plaid this year? I like it most all the time, but the trend setters seem to say that its "in" this year. I'm also loving these Christmas camper / glamper tote bags! The camper is "parked" by a decorated Christmas tree. The totes are great for a stand alone gift or you can use them as a gift sack for the glamping friend of yours!

This glamper sports some green fringe, because if loving fringe is wrong, we don't want to be right! 

I have several different centerpieces made in gold glittery bird cages. Each arrangement comes with Christmas greenery and a battery powered votive candle and can be set flat on a table or used as a hanging arrangement. 

This birdcage has a gold glitter owl nestled among the Christmas greenery and berries. There's even a little mistletoe included, if you want to strategically hang this arrangement where you want a kiss! 

This arrangement is very nature inspired with the plaid bow, pheasant feathers and berries. 

Here's a couple of the other ones and you'll notice the pillows in the background. They are actually pillow covers that will fit your 18 inch pillow form or freshen up your old pillows before your holiday guest arrive! There is a coral / rustic red damask print and the "Giddy Up" pillows featuring cowboys and cactus. 

Now, for a shabbier, French country look! This is a small zipper bag that would be a great makeup bag, pencil case, organizing items in your purse, you name it. I  love the quote by e.h. - "What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you FLY? This bag features a heart with wings, with a vintage lace doily forming the heart. 

Here's some of the French, Letters from Paris pillow covers

and more of the large tote bags.

 Here's a gift giving idea - use the bag as your gift wrap and include a pillow and pillow covers. Vintage pattern paper serves as a fun and different alternative to tissue paper. There's some old patterns that shouldn't be repeated, so go ahead and use them for gift wrapping! You can find some large pieces of tissue in old patterns as well, especially if the pattern was never cut up and used.

Here's a sneak peak at a couple of the stockings that I am working on! I've got 16 finished and will be having an photo shoot and listing them this week.

The adornment is made on a brooch pin / clip and can be removed or changed out. 

As always, we thank you for supporting Hand Made in America products this Christmas season! It does make a big difference in our lives and we appreciate you supporting small businesses! If there's something different or customizations you would like to make, send me a etsy convo and I'll try my best to accommodate your needs.

Dreaming of Spring - New Wedding Bouquets and Home Decor

This week has been a beautiful, sunny, 70 degrees of perfection and certainly has me ready for spring, yet winter will be returning tomorrow. I've been cleaning in the greenhouse and gathering supplies to start planting. It's also inspired a little early spring cleaning in the house and several new products, including burlap bouquets and some rustic home decor items for my shop. 

I was dreaming of an abundant, lush garden when I created this bouquet. Various pastel shades of pink, lavender, lime, jade, yellow and tan burlap are used to create the blooms in this bouquet. Roses varied in size from tiny tea roses, to full size blossoms, along with yellow callas, lots of lace and lavender flowers that remind me of hibiscus plants. I can see this in a spring garden wedding. 

These two items are used featuring a new shade of blue burlap - meet Billow Blue! 

The burlap and cross wreath would be a great Easter and spring wreath to display on your door. 

For the Cowgirl - how about a pink lariat rope wreath? Roses, hydrangeas, tulips, dahlias, and orchids in various shades of pink are included along with cascading greenery and a burlap bow. 

This bird cage is something a little different to my shop and there's not any burlap involved! A gold glittered birdcage holds a bouquet of blush and cream flowers, feathers, and greenery. It can be hung (like shown in my glamper) or set flat on a table as a centerpiece. Very shabby chic and girly! 

As mentioned earlier, we've been doing lots of cleaning, decluttering, and redecorating lately. This wall pocket found its way to my bedroom wall after I photographed it. We have a small house, so all storage space in important, especially when work and home are the same place. I'll just say, I'm storing on the wall! 

I've had this lamp painted turquoise for a while now, it just needed a neat shade and finishing touches. I stripped up burlap to create ribs and attached to a lamp shade and added the key today. I wouldn't mind if this stayed in my living room for a while though. 

All items pictured are ready to ship now and custom orders are always welcome!

 Come shop in my etsy store and see all the other new products that are available. I've been adding several home decor items recently, so its not just weddings. There's still a couple Christmas wreaths on sale and I'm planning my 4th Anniversary Sale coming up in a few weeks. 

Are there any types of products you would like to see me carry / create? 

Also, what type of sale would you like to see?
