in the center is a vintage mother of pearl with silver button.
This next one is made with a pewter candlestick and material that I handstamped. I added a rosette with the same material without the words and then added a vintage jewel. 
I love keeping some of my vintage earrings, bling, all of the shiny stuff nearby when I work because I could add it to everything! I have a serious shiny stuff obsession! I think the combination of the dull pewter with the natural material gives it a more prim look and then the mix of the jewel changes it up a little.
This is one of the petite pincushions I made, usisng handstamped material again only this time in a lighter color. I handstamped the rosette this time and for a little color added a aqua button.
It's all stuffed into a vintage jello mold (should've taken a pic of the bottom where it says Jello)The sun finally returned yesterday so I could get a few pics taken. Today looks to be even better, the sun is already streaming through the window in front of my worktable so lucky me! After church I think I will plop down there in my cozy chair and let the creative force take over again!
I found a better solution for the pics for the test tubes... the vintage stamp holder that was hiding behind some supplies on the dresser. Maybe time to organize again!
I really need to put corks on my shopping list (and then remember to take it with me) so I can finish these up. Here's the close up of the one with the vintage religious medal on it, there are so many directions you can go with these...
Here is a glass coaster with a silver rim full of buttons ready to be used to pretty something up... After I have some creating fun today I will be adding all of these goodies to theinoriginals and then I need to take pics of the vintage goodies for theoldwhitehouse... so take a peek and see if there is something you just can't live without ;)

Happy Sunday! Thanks for stopping by, Theresa xoxo
Wonderfully brilliant creations!!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so pretty! I would love to plop down with you and craft all day. I need a crafty buddy. Me and my sister used to scrapbook every Friday night, but then she changed jobs. I need to get back into doing something like that again. Maybe just one day a week with no cleaning for just crafting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection...my favorite is the first sugar bowl/pin cushion...so pretty.
ReplyDeletegreat use for the stamp holder!
ReplyDeleteI know don't you hate getting to the store and saying Now what did I need?? Then walk around and pickup things that you didn't need and still get home and go aww man I forgot...
Amy
Those are great pin cussions thanks for sharing..Julian
ReplyDeleteOh Theresa sweetie...
ReplyDeleteI love this post. My goodness have you ever been busy with the pinkeeps. I love them. I looked in your Etsy shop but did not see any posted. They are so cute. I hope you add some to your Etsy. Love the use of the rubber stamp holder, now that is to darn cute. Love it.
Those test tubes are a wonderful use to store buttons. I would have never thought of that idea. How wonderful it is. I thank you for sharing with me.
Hope you have a beautiful Sunday sweetie. Country hugs...Sherry

Oh wow, you are so talented! These pin cushions are exquisite. I just love the vintage look you have created with your silverware.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting today. I look forward to coming back soon to see what other goodies you have created.
Best wishes,
Natasha.
You have inspired me to make a pincushion with an old cup and saucer I have. I think it will be fun. I especially love your last pic of the old buttons, an obsession of mine. Hope that you have a chance to stop by and say hi. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Theresa,
ReplyDeleteOkay, so loving everything you did. The pincushions, the hand stamped fabric, the buttons, and the test tubes??? I know I have some in my Halloween decorations, and I know I risk my life asking hubby to get the boxes down from the garage attic. But on my, I really need to get my hands on some of those! So beautiful. And I adore the way you showed them off in the stamp holder. So sweet!
Won't you pretty please move to right across the street from me? I will help you pack, and move! And I promise, I am not a creeper... (Even if my kids tell me that all the time... No way! I will give you fresh chicken eggs to entice you!)
And as for the chandelier? It's totally not Lib's style thank goodness. And I acted way too fast for my other sister, thank goodness...
Have a wonderful week. So wishing the sun was shining here!
Kate

ReplyDeleteRebecca
Your pin cushions are adorable! I've been looking through the archives for other projects you have done. I have to say you are one very creative and talented lady.
