Oh, this is sweet

Here’s a fabulous display from one of my favorite dealers at last weekend’s Sage Farm “Dear Santa” show.
That’s a solid old mantel top with lots of molding, plus chippy paint in pale yellow and green. Comical red-hatted elves atop glass vases. “Peace” signs handpainted on old framed boards. Lots of greens.
And what’s that nailed up on the mantel?
An old wooden suit hanger in bright red! Wound with a string of vintage Christmas bulbs plus some tinselly sparkle and ribbon. And a cute little yellow elf glued securely on.
Do you love that as much as I do?

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?
Blanket season starts with a Hudson’s Bay bang!

Would you make a noise that sounded like a startled elephant? And simultaneously lunge for the hanger this thing was on, just in case the person standing 20 feet away completely mesmerized by the moving electric Santa dolls decided to grab it instead?
Well, wouldja? Click to find out what *I* did!
Just a little more textile goodness from Sage Farm
Posted: December 1, 2014 Filed under: Fun Finds, Sage Farm Comments Off on Just a little more textile goodness from Sage FarmI can’t help myself. If it was textile-y at November’s Sage Farm show, I probably snapped a photo of it.
The same dealer who had the amazing Old Order Amish “Sunshine & Shadow” quilt also had this set of painted wooden “Color Cubes.” She didn’t think they were intended specifically for quilters, though. Instead, they were the equivalent of modern pattern blocks. My kids had a set of those and loved them! I can totally see a quilter playing around with these.
