Home Sweet Home..

Now that the Christmas gift giving is over, I can share with you what I made for Mom and her new home.
This is an organizer I made to match her new kitchen. It hangs on an old wooden hanger that was my Grandmother's. When Mom was moving out of her old house and we were packing, I asked her if I could have it. Little did she know she was getting it back.
The front pocket is made from a pretty brown floral fabric that Mom's kitchen window treatments are made from. It had to match a little bit. I added vintage lace and buttons to the front and a personalized clothes pin.This millinery cluster is made up of velvet posies and was the perfect match. I bought this off of Ebay awhile ago and it was the perfect addition to this organizer. A little lace and a plain ivory cotton tag with tea cup finished off the decorating.
A few vintage postcards and note cards to cheer up the creation. I loved how this piece came out. It was made entirely of pieces I had in my studio from my collection of goodies. It was fun watching it come together as I added each piece. But all of you who create know what I am talking about.
Well, Happy New Year friends! My next post, I will be back with my GIVEAWAY for my 200th post and 2 Year Blogging Anniversary. Don't miss it. You will have a chance to win one of these organizers I made especially for my giveaway!

It's beautiful Tammy...I know she loved it! I bet Shelby is still flying high from Christmas and Santa's visit. As usual my kids got tons but have latched on to one thing that is their favorite, I don't know why we bother to give them more. Hope to see you soon!
love,
angela
