How does your garden grow....

The shop update is complete. Yay!! I'm excited about the goodies I created and hope to add to my shop more consistently. With the gorgeous weather we've been having, I wanted to create something fun and carefree. After oogling the article by Connie Govea Stuart in Somerset Life magazing....see this post, I just had to try making some vintage style paper dresses. I enjoyed making these so much that I couldn't stop. They are machine stitched all around except the neck and hem are left open. In the article Connie actually put a card or other sentiment inside the dress and used it as an envelope. You could put just about anything or it could stand alone. I added vintage flowers and jewelry and of course pom pom fringe on the bottom! They are so springy and cheery they just make me smile when I see them all hanging there together:)I also have planting on my mind and came up with these adorable seed trays filled with vintage supplies. I did two with a purple (lilac) theme and one in blue (hydrangea). Love how these turned out. It was so fun to bring together all the vintage ribbon, flowers, fabrics and wallpaper I had in these palettes. The stickers say "From the Garden Of"...

I know it's way too early for canning, but I had a blast putting my strawberry inspired supplies into these adorable little canning jars. Things like ribbon, pom pom fringe, wallpaper and these fabulous fabric strawberry sticker embellishments from the new Martha line.
