Handmade Velvet Pumpkins

Tis the season for making pumpkins.

I made these using recycled materials.

The velvet was from an antique bed jacket and the lace and ribbon are old and recycled too.

The pedestals were once candle holders.

I made a few dark orange velvet ones and the witches hat with a mix of new and recycled materials.

The old velvet album and the antique shoes were fleamarket finds and remind me of a witches shoes and her book of spells.

Each year at this time I make new pumpkins.

I think these are my favorite so far.

Happy Fall Everyone!

Weeds & Tea With Lemon

Prudence is watching over the vegetable (weed) garden.

She is best friend to Hortense and her job is to protect the vegetables.

I don't know why she doesn't pull some weeds while she's there.

It's on my TO DO list.

Prudence is wearing a lovely velvet antique bed jacket.

It's stained and tattered and oh so pretty.

Such a sweet straw hat and that crocheted scarf is fabulous don't you think?

She's done a good job watching over the tomatoes and herbs.

While Prudence was watching the weeds grow, I was cleaning the kitchen and drinking tea with lemon.

Feels like summer.

Thanks for stopping by.
