New Hats on Kitchy Kool!

Check out these lovely vintage hats I've just listed on Esty!
First is this sweet little hat loaded down with lilly of the valley flowers.

I think this would make a great bridal headpiece with the addition of some tulle,

or even without!



Next is this wide brim hat with lots of netting wrapped around the brim.

There are little velvet millinery flowers scattered in the netting.

And a sweet little velvet ribbon bow at the back! Tres chic!

Check them out at my shop, Kitchy Kool!

Bye for now!

WAYBACK Wednesday!

Ok, I found this on Ebay a little while back, just after I'd started crocheting again.

I knew I had to have it, great crochet patterns and even better illustration!

How cute is that poncho above, and the top below!!

There is some photography too, as seen in the next two.

The gal below is obviously having a blast sipping soda pop and listening to records!

This is the back cover, adorable!

Bye for now!

New Ride

This is my hubby and daughter showing his old vehicle, just for comparison, because.....

Now he has a new ride! Well, it's newer anyway, a 1999 Dodge!

And, I think he's pretty excited! Sabrina loves the quad cab seat!

But, she also likes riding up front!

This is what we did last Wed., so that's why there was no Wayback Wednesday.

But tomorrow it will be back! Bye for now!

What's New! Craft of the Day and Ebay Auctions

"When can we bring out the Christmas tree?"

That's what I've been hearing a lot lately from this little girl......

Well, if it were up to me and there was no Thanksgiving, I'd be putting it up now.

I'm as antsy as she is!

But, I can't quite bring myself to break with tradition just yet. So I thought we'd do a small taste of the Christmas tree decorating!

Which leads me to this sweet, but rather unhappy little tree that my mom sent for Sabrina to have.

It came with a set of mini ornies, and it looks pretty good decorated that way, but unfortunately the base broke when I was trying to assemble it! Then, I got an epiphany and decided to make a new base for it (because no amount of glue was going to fix it!).

So, I grabbed a little bucket I had in my studio that has a styrofoam ball in it. I used it to prop paper mache pieces to dry. I painted it red and covered the ball with snow tex.

While the snow tex was still wet, I added some vintage glitter and stars.

After that I stuck the little tree in the base and we started decorating with the ornies that came with it. And I finished off with a little red bow around the base of the tree.



I think it turned out pretty good, and I plan to use it in Sabrina's room. Will take pix when I get that figured out.

Next, I want to show you two items I have on Ebay up for auction.

There's this cute little Cody Foster Eiffel tower box.

And, this sweet little Debbee Thibault angel.

Bye for now!

My Place and Yours

This weeks theme for "My place and Yours" is "a view of your secret weapon" chosen by

My Bricole.

We are supposed to show the thing that always brings out my creativity, no matter what. Well for me that is my colored markers! Just looking at all those colors makes my fingers itch! I also love my colored pencils as well. Paints are great, but the makers and pencils are quick and easy to use, and portable!

I like to stick a black ultra fine tip Sharpie in my purse with a small sketch pad, so I can doodle when the mood strikes me. Thanks for visiting! And if you want to see all the other participants for this weeks theme, check out the list at Pip's blog!

Estate of Mind!

What a wonderful estate sale I found last weekend! Lots of great linens! Like this beautiful afghan below, in shades of pink, blue, green and cream. And only $2!

Then I found to pillowcases at 25 cents each, so pretty!

And, I couldn't pass up the mushroom kitchen towels in great colors of blue and green!

And, only 25 cents each!

Next are a groovy set of oven mitt and pot holder in a mod floral!

Love those colors!


Lastly I found two really wonderful linen tea towels in earth tones. Check out the sweet cat towel below!

And, this Pennsylvania dutch motif with the roosters!

Love it!! Bye for now!

WAYBACK Wednesday!

Sorry I missed last week's Wayback Wednesday. It seems like the week flies by and before I know it, it's Friday! But this week I remembered! And I wanted to show some more artwork from a book I showed that I featured back in August.
It's called "Story Carnival" and here are some more of my favs!

This is the back cover, below. Hope you enjoyed these pix! Bye for now!
