Tiered Tray with repurposed vintage pieces for farmhouse decor

This would be great for the kitchen. It would
 be a good start for that coffee station you
 always wanted.

The handle is an antique rolling pin. It is sturdy.
It is food safe.

I will be posting more trays but each one is very
different.
Easy to clean, wipe down or washing by hand
is recommended.

This tray will be at the craft show and will
be priced at $30.00
Thank you,

Strawberry Sugar Scrub for Body and Lips

This year I made some scrub that is edible....yes, and delicious
Made with organic coconut oil, raw sugar and non GMO dried strawberries. No coloring added.
The strawberries give it a beautiful red color.

Sugar scrubs are great for getting rid of flaky skin. Sugar does not dry out your skin like salt
Perfect for lips in the winter.
If you use on the body just rinse and the coconut oil remains. When used on the lips,
just lick it off or wipe with soft cloth or tissue.
The label is a water colored strawberry with ingredients listed
Note: When giving as a gift, make sure they do not have strawberry allergies.

The scrubs are in 1/2 pint Mason jars. They sit in paper grass and a red paper berry box for gift giving. I will have them at the boutique for $5.00
Sorry SOLD OUT

Paper Trees for the Holidays

These trees were made from vintage sheet music.
Which gives them a natural aged look. The paper is thick and the trees are surprisingly sturdy.
They look delicate but they can be touched and they store easily. I have a customer who
purchased them for a piano teacher and she leaves a set out all year long.
Thanks for stopping by!
LisaS

Trees are between
10'' and 12''  Priced individually at $10, most orders are sets of 3's

I have 1 left. I will take orders for these.

DIY Dollar Tree Romantic Room Decor

I found these rattan balls at the Dollar Tree and thought they would look great
on a string of indoor/outdoor white lights.
The rattan balls come in 3 sizes and 3 colors. I decided to get the smallest size in natural, 6 to a pack.
I bought 3 packages The balls can be painted or dyed. You can even use colored lights for a different look.

The lights were a string of 100.
First I plugged in the lights to make sure they would reach the plug :) Strung the lights across my headboard and then came back across. I just pushed the balls over the lights.No need to glue but you could add a bit of hot glue if you prefer. I skipped about every 5th bulb.
I  think it has a warm and cozy look. I think I will leave them up year round.
Let me know what you think.

Book Page Wreaths

I love to make the wreaths from old books. They all come out different,
sometimes I leave a hang tag
to show the title and copyright date or maybe an illustration from the book The wreaths are always a good seller and make a nice display.

individually hand cut by me.

I have some available now and for the next craft show.

They are priced from  $10 to $15

Wreaths are 12" to 14"

Wreaths are SOLD OUT for now. I  can take orders.

If you are interested in any of the wreaths, let me know in the comments

or my email
