I hope that still isn’t true after the upcoming Dear Santa show at Sage Farm. I’ve got a small collection of Christmas wreaths about to make their public debut.
Have a look!
If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, this magenta and silver vintage ornament wreath might just be it.
Not impressed? Well then how about this one?
I’m making the season bright and gluey

I’ve got a baker’s dozen to send to Sage Farm next week for the December show.
Ready for the Big Reveal? Here’s wreath number one…
Ta da! Silver and red birds, balls, bling and Santa.
And another…
Unfinished? Unsuccessful? Unglamourous? You betcha!

Bloggers that have it all together? Well now’s your day to feel relieved, normal and possibly even superior. Yes, my house is a creative disaster area right now. The December Sage show is rushing up FAST and I’ve got everything started, nothing finished. My dining room table looks like this:
How many things can I start and not finish? It’s infinite!
The kitchen counter looks like this:

Tiki with fake batik print. It sure caught my eye!
I’m glad someone did–because now it’s MINE. (Okay, it will eventually end up at The Vintage Bazaar so YOU can adopt it.)
Would you believe I found even MORE tiny vintage table toppers?

Would you like to see my newest tiny table toppers?
First up, a bright sailcloth piece with Wilendur-style pattern blocks. (It doesn’t have a pink stain. I took a crummy photo. No one will pin it on Pinterest now.)
It’s 30″ long and was cut from yardage 36″ wide. Two edges are hemmed, the other two are selvages.
