Happy New Year!
Just thought I’d pop in to write another quick post about our holidays. In addition to giving a few handmade things, we received a few as well. My mother-in-law gave us a nice fair-trade nativity set made of magazines, including this figure below. My nine-year-old saw these and immediately starting rolling magazine pages, so we need to work on a project soon.
My mother gave the girls these vintage monogrammed handkerchiefs, thinking they could be the “something blue” for their weddings. As they are only seven and nine right now, she’s really planning ahead!
And I’ve been ordering fabric from some of my favorite fabric shops (Fabricworm, Lola Pink Fabrics and Sew, Mama, Sew!). I’m working on a big new project — details soon!
The holiday stuff is all packed away now as I’m a bit superstitious about leaving it up after New Year’s Day. My favorites are these vintage ornaments that belonged to my great uncle. Still in their original box!
Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy new year!
I have some of those vintage ornaments & a box like that 🙂
happy 2012 !
Happy new year!
Happy new year to you also.!!
love then nativity set angle.
when you figure out how to make them would you think about
doing a tutorial on it??? I would love to try and make it also.
thanks
I’m really loving the rolled magazine nativity figure! It’s something I’ve been wanting to try my hand at too.
I love shiny brites in original boxes!
And that nativity set is amazing!
Enjoy 2012!
Now that Christmas is over, would you have any NEW ideas on what to do with old holiday cards? I would love to recycle years of beautiful cards but I need fresh ideas.
Great handkerchiefs! I have some that belonged to my great grandmother (whose initial was also L) but none of them are embellished as elaborately as those. Also like the vintage Christmas ornaments. We went to a toy exhibit in Doylestown, PA over the holidays where I found out that Shiny Brite was a NJ company. Never knew that before.
