Shabby White Delights




Love the aged white of vintage clothes.

This is another picutre from the new store
in Redmond Oregon.
Back Porch & Company.


Lisa has a real knack for putting things together.
(see more of her store HERE)

Here is an order I finished today.
It is a pin cushion using a clear glass
candle holder as a base.

It is hollow inside so I put in a few buttons.
(sorry, hard to see against the lace. Click to enlarge)
Here is a close up of the vintage doily on the top.

Hope you like it Karen. =)

And here is another bit of sweetness I finished last night.
oops sideways. sorry.
This is a little lavender sachet,
with one of my gauze flowers on it.

Tutorial for easy sachet coming soon.

    I adore that pincushion on the glass candlestick. It looks beautiful, and must be such a joy to use. With your permission, I would love to make something similar as a Christmas pressie for a friend of mine who loves sewing.

    I love vintage lace blouses!! Your sachet is so pretty! I will have to try to make one, as well as make one of the pin cushions.

    Your pincushion is beautiful, Barbara Jean! What a creative idea! I love how you put the buttons inside of the vase. And I can't wait to check out how to make those gorgeous flowers on your pretty sachet! Happy WW!
