New Listings in The Shop

I've been a busy girl this month,adding some great vintage finds to Sweetina and having fun making 3 mosaics! Two are listed already,so here's a peek!
                                          

The first one is called "Tidepool"

It has a very beachy feel like having your toes in the sand.

The next mosaic is a freeform heart that's called Berry Sweet!

It says Sweet above the heart!

I'm working on some other handmades before Valentine's Day and also for Spring too.

But I've really focused on very special Vintage Listings.

Some are quite hard to part with!!

Here's a Sweetie!

She's an antique Half Doll Pin Cushion and so Pretty!

Topless~oh my!

Also newly listed (there are 2 separate listings)

                                                   Two Listings for a Aqua Glass Ball Ideal Jar
                 I think they would look so pretty holding seashells and beach glass on a windowsill.

                     Another special cottage style treasure is this large pastel pitcher/vase

                                              It may have originally come with a basin.

                                                           How's this for shabby chic?
            I've listed only a few of the beautiful  European Tins I have so far. here are a few of my favs.

                                                               This rosy tin is so roomy!
                                                                                

                                                                 

                                                                 Any Brides-To Be?
                                                                 Have a Look-See!

and guestbook

                                                                       

           And lastly,here's a fun Vintage 1960's bowl that will make breakfasttime~Funtime!

     Heeheehee!

How's Your Holiday Shopping Going....

Be prepared...it's wild out there!

When you see "just the right present"~guard it before someone else grabs it!

                        

(The photos above were taken by one of my daughter's University friends in Canada.)

Samantha (my baby girl!) is the Sweetie in the yellow crown.

She started with crowns early......

and magic wands.

Sam's Boyfriend is in the checkered shirt... Not only is he a Knight,he treats Sammy like a Princess.

Samantha and my son Schuyler won't be here this Christmas...money,college,time...;(

When we aren't all together it feels like it's "Pretend Christmas".

Dylan still has a blast and we keep busy so we don't think too much.

This year~after opening gifts, we're heading to see two movies and then coming home for dinner!

Probably The new Disney Movie and Sherlock Holmes or Nine.

No sad Christmas movies

~Here are the latest photos of Samantha ans Schuyler~

(taken by their friends...thankyou friends!!!)

Samantha Christina~ Sammy

Schuyler Victor~Sky or Shoo

~I love you both~

On a brighter note Dylan,me,Abby and Fuzzy always have a fun Christmas morning...

I love the way he forgets his stocking...and then yells "Hey I still have my stocking!"

Just ask all 3~this Mom is a great stocking stuffer!!!

I think Abby and Fuzzy thinks so too.

Remember these from last year?!~Heehee!

While we're in the Holiday spirit~

Here are 3 Christmas Tree ornaments that I made with Vintage Tart Tins/molds

They're in my Etsy Shop!

And I've listed 4 super sweet redecorated Vintage Putze Houses!

I decided to make them into their own little Christmas Scenes and add more sparkle and glitter.

Heehee aren't they fun and different!

Two more additions to the shop are Vintage.

A collectable Singer Sewing Tin

And this Shabby Sweet Talcum Powder Container (with powder!)

Well my Sweeties...before I turn in, here are a few images of my Deery Dear Collection.

The family has grown since last Christmas~heehee!

I'll try to keep posting throughout the holidays and will check all your wonderful blogs.

Happy Happy Holidays Sweet Readers and Friends~

December Already!?

 Happy Early December!

Black Friday has passed as has Cyber Monday...so all is back to the frantic Pre-Holiday normal.

I haven't done any real Christmas shopping yet,but I have added some items to Sweetina in case you need something for yourself  the holidays. Heehee.

If you love Shabby Chic,Vintage and Cottage Style items.

Go to Etsy and type in the search area CSST.

Those are the initials for the Cottage Style Street Team.

There are so many sweet listings for this team and for all the other Etsy teams.

Have any of you Sweet Artists or Crafters ever made a listing that just didn't have the "feeling" in it that you wanted?

Well that's what happened with one of my Holiday Shadow Boxes...it was too serious...too Victorian and needed more fun and color! So below are a few new photos of the "Holiday Dreaming" creation.

The lighting in the first image looks like it's in a pool....my bad~

~Here's a glittery Santa dancing among Vintage "Shiny Brites"~

~A Sweet Vintage Putze House on a snowy night~

~Flocked "Babes" In Toyland~

~Christmas Stocking~

~Reading Stories on Christmas Eve~

I'm much happier with the new results~more whimsy and fun~which is what brings the twinkle in children's eyes!


Below are a few new Vintage Listings~

                                 Cute Lefton Candle Hugger Elves~the pair for your tapers~
