Tidying up the Nest- Winter Sale

Hello there friends! I’m back again…and with some goodies that I have up for sale. I am a maker, a Tim Holtz Addict, a collector, a junker, and what I consider, a treasure hunter. Some of those treasures find their way into my makes, and some collect a good amount of dust while on display prior to finding a new life in my art. Therefore, I must make space, so that my creative process can continue. 🙂 This girl needs to make room for more adventures in both thrifting and creativity.

All of the projects are my original designs and handmade by me. I’ve included a variety of themes which include Christmas, Halloween and everyday including some of my more recent projects. The prices are listed with the approximate size and I have figured out the cost of shipping and included it in the prices. I try to keep the cost reasonable, and consider the time and creativity that went into each project. I hope you have a chance to check them out and would be thrilled for them to find a new loving home with you!

1. Letters to Santa Reliquary Display Dome- The newest 2023 Large Salvaged Santa all painted, dressed up and displayed with idea-ology goodies. Tiny wrapped packages, a bottle brush tree, mica flakes, tiny confections and a countdown to Christmas calendar are displayed within the distressed cork dome. I tied a found piece of vintage plaid fabric around the outside and tied on an idea-ology word tag. This would be adorable displayed on top of a stack of old books. (5″x5″) -$85 SOLD

2. She Believed – A #8 Etcetera Tag featuring the new Distress Color, Villainous Potion. An adorable idea-ology Photo Booth photo inspired the make. Shabby details with lots of layers and crackled embossing glazes mixed with tiny florals, vintage buttons, tattered denim fabrics & lace. (3.25″x6.25) -$65 SOLD

3. Three Little Pumpkins from the Tim Holtz pumpkin patch (sold as a set of 3)- these pumpkins feature the newest Tim Holtz Halloween Fabric “Frightful”. I stitched the pumpkins and left the frayed and torn edges to create a shabby look. The two largest pumpkins feature realistic faux resin stems and the smallest a real stick. They are adorned with sewn leaves and stitchy fabric twists to represent tendrils…a necessity on all pumpkins in my opinion! The pumpkins are weighted with dry beans and stuffed with Poly-Fil to help keep their shape for many years to come. Stitchy, scrappy and ready for any Halloween display. Large (7″x12.5″), Medium (5.75″x10.5″) and Small (2.75″x6″) – $85 SOLD

4. 2 Little Witches- this project features LOTS of idea-ology Halloween goodies and vintage bits and pieces…I dare you to figure out which is which, or witch is witch. The portrait of the little girls inspired this collection of witchy things that I thought two little witches might have collected. It is all built within an idea-ology Vignette Divided Drawer and features tiny drawers made using matchboxes filled to the brim with little bits of creepy things. An idea-ology cauldron lights up with a green glow powered by a battery pack hidden behind the portrait of the girls. Tiny handmade books, idea-ology candles, a tiny nest and eggs, vintage dice, vintage frozen Charlotte heads complete with tiny crowns and more are all displayed within the piece. To display more treasures I made a wrap around peg shelf to display the candles, and to hang tiny vials and a set of witch brooms. Every side of this piece is decorated and displays vintage witchy goodness. (3.5″x 3″x10″)- $195 SOLD

5. A Tailor-made Christmas- A large idea-ology vignette tray is the base of this haberdashery collection featuring idea-ology Christmas 2023 goodies. Messy stitches, sewing, tattered papers, buttons, a tiny bottle brush tree, a small jar of vintage buttons and tiny knick knacks adorn this make. A glittered candy candy, hand-dyed ribbon and tiny word tag are hung on the painted and distressed drawer pull. The group of idea-ology paper dolls dressed in plaid that inspired the make, are layered and displayed within a vintage embroidery hoop which features an idea-ology Christmas Marquee, vintage fabric and pearl buttons. The piece is finished on all sides to complete the vintage look. (6″x12″x1.25)-$155 SOLD

The cardinal was made with a combination of Distress Ink, Distress Watercolor Pencils and the limited edition Sizzix Cardinal thinlet which was sold by Simon Says Stamp for Die-cember a year or so ago. The inky background was created using Distress Sprays and crackle texture paste. The texture paste was sprinkled with Distress Embossing Glaze before it dried and embossed after it was crackled creating a timeworn look. Vintage fabrics, idea-ology pinecones, lace, ribbons, buttons and lots of messy stitches embellish this winter vignette. (3.25″x6.5″) -$75 SOLD

She stole my heart as soon as I saw her and I knew she had to be featured on a special make. The stamped and inky background was made by watercoloring, and by blending inks. It is embellished with lots of vintage lace, threads, hand dyed ribbons, and then sewn on to continue the shabby look.
