Turkey for You, Tofurky for Me

Image

Sorry for making everyone wait so long for a post again! I’ve been so busy working on getting the rest of my holiday inventory. SO Thanksgiving is here again! Even though I am a vegetarian, I still get excited about the holiday for many reasons: 1) I LOVE pumpkin and mashed potatoes 2) My birthday always falls within a week from Thanksgiving 3) When I was little, the passing of Thanksgiving meant it was time to bring the Christmas decorations out of the attic! So needless to say, I’m getting pretty anxious. However, like most people (especially women), something I enjoy almost as much as the smell of a warm pumpkin pie is what comes after- Black Friday! I must admit part of it’s probably really just about the adrenaline rush, but being as my mother was the Coupon Queen before coupon-ing was even cool the other part is just loving a kick-ass deal! So I’m pretty sale happy come time for the holidays and I know I’m not the only one. Lucky for you, that means I’ll be hosting a lot of holiday sales in the shop ( zoeamaris.etsy.com ). And I promise to keep up with my blog posting through the end of the year, even if it’s only to keep you informed of the upcoming sales. I’ll be posting sometime in the next few days to announce my Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals so be sure to stay tuned!

Cheers,

Zoe

Victorian Flower Basket Pin Cushions

  I had a ton of these little baskets from a left over project and knew they’d be perfect for this! I made a few of these the other night and I absolutely love them. I used  bird gravel for the stuffing which made these nice and heavy.  Used some of my old lace scraps, one of those fabric circles, and one of my lovely antique buttons. I’ll keep you updated as I work on some other styles!

Repurposed, Victorian Pincushions: The Fabric

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend! I’ve been so very busy but I’ve finally brought you an update on the pin cushions. I’ve just gotten a huge lot of vintage fabric circle scraps and have listed some in the shop as well. There’s tons of beautiful patterns and I can’t wait to get to work! I’ll be picking up some stuffing later this week and hope to be posting another update soon after. Have a lovely week everyone!

Repurposed, Victorian Pin Cushions

Over the next couple weeks I’m planning to start making some sweet little pin cushions made from old Victorian fabric scraps, lace, etc… I’m very excited to see what I come up with and hope to have plenty on hand for Christmas. If all goes well I may even make some into ornaments! (I’m planning on making handmade ornaments as all of our gifts this year.) If you’re like me, you love crafts that use up those heaps of scraps you’ve collected. So start collecting your scraps now because I’ll be showing you lots of ways to use them this fall!
I’ll be updating you guys soon,
Zoe

Grandma’s Vintage Button Stash

Grandma's Vintage Button Stash

There are few things so special as buttons. They can be all different shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. They can have two holes or four. We can sew them on pants or dresses. They can be shiny or dull. We can re-use them plenty of times. It’s no wonder that grandma kept so many…
