Altered vintage bottle made from fantastic webbed bottle I found this summer in northern Minnesota. I added my own sinister embellishments.Hello on this first day of October!! Yay!!!! So excited to say that today is mail out day for the Sweet and Sinister Swap. Gorgeous photos of everyone's goodies have been pouring into the flickr group. Check them out here! 
If any of you live near LA the fab store Sweetpeas and Snapshots is hosting a Sweet and Sinister Soiree inspired by my swap. How fun it would be to attend. I'm sure they'll do an amazing job!
I went to an estate sale this weekend and found this fabulous Tim Burton-esque plant stand and fun vintage hats (above). 
I had fun this weekend making some sweet and sinister goodies for my upcoming trip to Cape Cod for the Just Be Creative Bazaar held on October 13th. If you're in the area, please come by and say hello! I've made some Halloween goodies, like the collages seen in this post, to add to my supply of autumn offerings. I also made some sinister decor after being so inspired by the shop I posted about on the previous post. Made some spooky tea dyed cheese cloth to wrap around my pot below.
Here's my inspiration for table decor.... 
...and what I came up with. What fun to make! Used some gorgeous velvet flowers, vintage wallpaper and old saucers. 
I'll leave you with a sweet piece that I'll have at the bazaar:)

Hi Kari!
ReplyDeleteIt is that time of year when Moms (mostly) are scurrying to figure out how to make that special costume for their Kids! Oh, and then they change their mind and want to be something else! hehehe. Even though I was unable to commit to your latest extravaganza, fun filled event, I am enjoying seeing the results! (Hae you ever thought of going into fund rainsing events! : ) You could build a village!!! : )
Hugs,
Mary
I love your creations, all of them!
ReplyDeleteI don't live to far from L.A. what a fun class, I will check into it!
