Snowman jars in the kitchen

Every year I put out the paper mache jars I created. Large glass carrots noses

in snow man heads covered in glitter.

The large jar hold all my cookie  cutters, so convenient.  When not holding deserts the cake plate

corals vintage check ornaments and my snow man ornaments. ( Smaller boxes on my Etsy shop)/

Greens and plaid ribbons adorn the mantle and table. Love Christmas decorations, don't you?

Hope you enjoyed my holiday kitchen decor,

thanks for visiting,

Autumn Inspiration

For French Cupboard's , Autumn Art party, I decided to make a paper mache skeleton jar. I usually make snowman jars for clients, family and friends. Why not a skeleton? I think he looks dapper between the topiaries I made a few years ago, do you?

With his vintage crepe paper tie

and vintage silk covered button...

all aged up

and

GLITTERRED

he is my Autumn art.

also joining in Common Ground

Vintage Inspiration Friday-who always inspires me.

Simple holiday decor

Only one week to Easter, thought I would finally display a few of my vintage decorations. Always nice to be surrounded by nostalgic holiday keepsakes. This year I am going to keep it simple~ or at least that is how it will start out. Besides, if it is new to a room, Krumpet decides it must be a new toy for him! Decorated, natural or vintage eggs in a wooden bowl are a lovely way to decorate…

Paper Mache Rabbit

I just finished making this adorable rabbit and listed it on my Etsy shop- vintagedchic- SOLD-
She is a cute paper mache bunny jar. The rabbit is first made by molding the paper mache to the new jar a little bit at a time. Then painted and aged, a 5 step process. I just love her~ Shown filled with jewelry next to one of my handmade heart sachets on etsy.
Enjoy!
