Hello, my friends!
Just a few things to share with you today…had a bit of a creative binge earlier this week thanks to Vintage Street Market!
I don’t make a lot of tags, but for some reason, that’s what was inspiring me…
First, a very feminine gift tag for a sister or best girlfriend…
…it’s so fun to start with a basic idea & then look through your stash to find just the perfect “toppers”! LOVE those vintage flocked millinery flowers…must find more!
Next…did your grandmothers have special little “pin keeps” in their sewing supplies? Mine did, which was what inspired this little project…
…my very own little pin keep. A perfectly sized, clear plastic container found at Michaels was just the thing…
…topped & surrounded by very realistic-looking paper “buttons”, lace & twirly twine…just right for showing off a few pretties…
And lastly, a little memory tag…just for me!
…Easter in Southern California, just about 1967 {note the last number on the Bingo card—wasn’t that a lucky coincidence?!}
My younger brother Steve & I, hunting for eggs in the back yard, wearing our Easter finery…hard to believe that little red-headed brother of mine just turned 47 this week…!
More millinery flowers, some vintage mother-of-pearl buttons stand in for eggs, some lace and a bit of vintage-inspired tinsel makes the perfect “grass” for my little tag…
Well, that’s about it for me today! Sending you all the happiest wishes for a lovely Easter weekend…
Julie
