Repurposed goodies..

The past couple of weeks have been eventful to say the least, Farmer's markets, cleaning, clearing, reorganizing..but I managed to get some sewing in here and there.



This sweet little baby quilt, and the matching bunting is my current favorite..They were made from mostly reclaimed fabrics, with the exceptions being the batting and the white muslin in the quilt and backside of the pennants.

                      I've always enjoyed making buntings, and these 2 were no exception!


Well, back to it, Lots of goodies to create, not so much time lol!

Vintage Strawberry tin

A few weeks ago I picked up this sweet little tin at a thrift store for $.30.


As they tend to do, the inside had started to corrode, leaving areas vulnerable to rust. So I covered up the outside of the tin and lid using masking tape and a plastic shopping bag,

and after a quick spritz of some Krylon spray paint

  (Ivory on the lid, Celery for the basin)
  I can now store my vintage buttons without worry!


The sewing room makeover is coming along, I can't wait to share!
