Beautiful Vintage Angel Postcard Pillow

I have to say that by far this is one of the best pillows I have ever ever created!!! I rarely keep any of my creations for myself..but this one I cannot part with. I may make some similar to this sometime & offer it for sale either here on my blog, in my ebay store, or in my etsy shop....there are links to those stores to the right.
I used a wonderful vintage postcard image fabric block by SUMMERSDARLING on ebay to create this one of a kind pillow. I used a vintage snow white hobnail chenille and real feather wings to add just the perfect touch. I also used white pom pom trim and Victorian inspired white Venise lace. The flowers are a mix of vintage millinery style and organza and satin ribbon roses, silk flowers and more!!! I topped it off with two gorgeous sparkling rhinestone roses and used glass glitter on the wings for that pretty affect.
I think I will make one somewhat like this one for my mommy for Mother's Day this year..only hers will be a door hanger type so she can hang it for display.
I always do special orders so if you would like this image made into a pillow or sachet just email me a jraeburk@gmail.com for more info and pricing.

Oh Good Golly Miss Molly!!!!
Here she is growing up. If you look at the pics below you can see adorable Miss Molly when we first got her. She only weighed about 2 lbs back then. Now Miss Molly is a whopping 8lb. 11oz. and she will not get too much bigger.
It has been extra cold here and she was not liking having to go outside. So we bought her this adorable ensemble of a black sweater with pink trim & a big pink heart with lots of sparkly bling bling on it.
Of course she just HAD to have matching boots. A girl can't get a new sweater and not have matching boots!!!

Making some new pretties for Christmas!!

These are my latest creations!!
I had some much fun making these great Christmas Stockings out of some wonderful vintage items.


I used vintage chenilles, brooches, pearly beads, a vintage hand crocheted doily and satin ribbon roses on the chenille one.

The other two were made from and antique hand embroidered linen table cloth. Ohhh soooo shabby cottage chic!!!

I just had to update you on the progress of our raised garden area in the backyard!!!
Earlier I shared with you my happy happy hubby tilling it up and amending the soil with all kinds of wonderful things!
We are already starting to harvest zucchini and it won't be long we will be eating a fresh mess of green beans and tomatoes too! The zucchini plants are bigger than I have ever seen them and the veggies seem to grow big over night.

This is an amazing old bench the we actually rescued from someones junk pile. This is just as we found it with it's wonderful patina and chippy old paint. When i saw it on the junk heap I told Jay I just HAVE to have that for our yard....so I just coated it with layers and layers of clear spray paint to prevent further damage and prevent deeper rusting. I cannot imagine throwing this awesome treasure in the dump!!!!

This is our beautiful and quite treasured foxglove. We have tried for 3 years to plant and grow this amazing flower!!! Finally this year we must have picked just the right spot for it because it did not take it long to shoot up this wonderful bloom!!!! I am so so excited to have this in my yard!!!!! I love it because in Oregon where we moved from 6 years ago, it grows wild along side the road and in the forests there on the way to the Oregon Coast!!!
It is a biennial..which I am not quite sure what that means...if any of you know what biennial means could you please send me a note to jraeburk@gmail.com or just leave me a blog comment!!! Thanks so much!!! Hope you all have a very blessed day!!!!!
