Collage Tags

In some of my venturing around at yard sales I lucked up on some wall paper border that had some beautiful angels and thought that I might be able to use it for something in my crafting. And I also really lucked up and found a bunch of anaglypta wall paper with a beautiful raised or embossed design. I love the effect that the distressing ink gave to the wall paper so I used some of my scraps in these tags. Topped off with some beautiful aqua vintage seam binding tape. So here is a set of collaged tags that I came up with! I love the dimensional effect that the wallpaper gave to the tags.

No chips. Does have crazing, which is typical of a piece of this age. Pretty scallop edge. A great replacement piece.

Here is a vintage 10 1/4 inch oval vegetable bowl made by Pope Gosser. The pattern is called Melrose #201. The pattern features flowerbaskets,scrolls,blue,greem & gold rim. Flowers are a mauve/rose color.

A little history on this piece!

Lots more vintage goodies, cottage style things, hand crafted and hand painted goodies all in my ETSY shop!!

Here are some of the wine glasses that I currently have available! This hand painted wine glass pair features my hand painted roses. I think that they would make a great gift for someone on your Christmas list!

Great hand painted roses bridal glasses for toasting!

I have all kinds of glassware available that I can paint for you from cake domes, cheese domes, tea glasses, etc.!! Think about Christmas! It will be here before you know it!

Flea Market Friday

Well, I was such a Christmas crafting fool last week trying to get ready for my CSST team Christmas in July event that I am running way behind on my other crafting ventures. But I did manage to get a few more gift or scrapbooking tags made!

And I loved creating this cute needle felted hair bobbie! Hand embroidered too!! Hope you like it!

And for those of you who are into stamping, I have some rubber stamps!

If you are into food gifts this stamp would be great to add some finishing touches to the presentation of your baked bread, etc. and add a little extra special touch.

And this one makes me grin! (Smiles)

You can find all these and much more in my Etsy shop! Just clickety click on over!!

Lots of love,

Barbara
