Textures for Winter Warmth

Winter textures, warm and inviting. Woven  bottle cover, painted crunchy textures add visual warmth to any room.

My handmade hearts have old buttons and newly handyed fabric, sitting on the fireplace mantle.
Some items are available on my online shop; www.braytoncottage.com. Thanks for visiting the Brayton Homestead.

Dress Form Party!!

Join the Dress Form Party at The Polka Dot Closet!

I did and what fun!

and what fun taking pics of my crazy mannequin. Not enough light inside so I carried it outside.

Collecting dress forms have become increasingly difficult to find, and I love them.

An expandable mannequin comes in handy when altering garments, here it has been relegated to holding my pins. Many will be available at the Brayton Cottage shop.

Krumpet enjoyed the photo fun as well!

he loves to part of everything..

you must visit the

POLKA DOT CLOSET  to see all the dress forms.

and thanks  for visiting here,

showing my handmade hearts...

I enjoy making them. They are very relaxing to create and I love that I am recycling old fabrics and buttons, all snug here together in a wood bowl in my kitchen...

hope you

LOVE

my handmade hearts as much as I enjoyed making them.
