Eggs and Buns around the House

I don't have a lot of Easter decorations, because we like to emphasize the Jesus ressurected part over the Easter Bunny part, and also because only one room in my house lends itself to the pastel colors that are usually offered. But what I do have, I found on sale after Easter. If you happen to be around Pottery Barn, William Sonoma, or Target after the holiday, stop in- that's where all of these came from, and for dirt cheap! This year I'm going to check out Etsy; I've had my eye on some hand made goodness that may be on sale.

A Touch of Vintage Frost

Chilly, frosty mornings have brought ice blue supplies and gifts to VintageScraps.etys.com!

Vintage on etsy.com

In the middle of my PVDD sufferings this morning (Post Vacation Distress Disorder) I was so excited to see my little vintage paper doll dress collage on etsy's front page! Drop in on etsy sometime and browse through their vintage offerings. Just go to etsy.com's home page, and click the Vintage catagory located on the lower left side. It's quite fun!

How to Craft instant Vintage!

While Halloween themes are expensive and hard to find, antique and vintage postcards with Christmas themes are out there in abundance! You can pick up inexpensive, beautiful postcards in most antique stores and flea markets. These pictured have been turned into tree ornaments using vintage seam binding and Shiny Brite (a little harder to find) mini ornaments, and a hole punch, easy enough for even the craft-challenged individuals. The Christmas greetings on the backs add a little history to your holiday celebration, with charming old handwriting and hopes of peace and joy.
