Birdhouse Trio, Vintage Cottage Decor


Love these cute bird houses and they can be found at FRIPPELOUS

"This is a cute set of 3 small wooden birdhouses. Each birdhouse is painted and antiqued for a rustic cottage look. Colors are pink, pale pink and yellow. They measure between 3"x4.5" and 3"x6", and can be set about your house on shelves, mantles or nestled in with your cottage decor, they can also hang but you will need to add a little hook to the roof."


The Cardigan Girls

This sweet print can be found at TOLLIPOP


"This is a print of an original painting. The print measures 8.5" x 11", although the actual image size is about 5.5" x 6". I use Hahnemühle Fine Art Paper, an acid free, all cotton watercolor paper with a parchment surface and special coating for excellent image sharpness and optimum color gradation.


But all this minutae is neither here nor there. It doesn't tell you what you really need to know about this paper, which is that I would use some to line a nest and bear my young in it. And the first word out of my baby's mouth would be Hahnemühle. Then I'd slip a piece of it into my pocket, and when no one was looking, I would take it out and we'd gaze at each other for hours. And I would start talking to my paper, telling it all kinds of stuff, I mean I would really let it into my mind. We'd have all these inside jokes that only WE would laugh at. And that paper would just get me, you know? Because Hahnemühle paper? Is THAT good.

Also, I should mention the artwork is printed with archival inks that really drench the paper. The result is clear, vibrant, and beautiful.

Next I will sign your print and carefully package it in a protective sleeve with a durable backing, then bid it farewell in a bendproof cardboard mailer."


Franck the Fox


This adorable little guy can be found at SWEET NELLIE

"Franck is 15 inches from the top of his head to the tip of his toes and 4.5 inches across at his widest point. His head, torso, arms and feet are crocheted from a wool/mohair blended yarn, which makes him very sturdy. He has two black beads for eyes, accented with tiny eyebrows, a pompon nose and a wool beret atop his head. Franck's pants are made from a wool blend and patched on one side where he misjudged a fence. He's completed with a warm wool scarf, knit in seed stitch and dried flower corsage."

Mollie - Petite Bohemienne Mixed Media Art Print 8x10


This sweet print can be found at WILD DALLIANCE

"Meet Mollie... She is the first in my new French Market, Petite Bohemienne series inspired by my childhood. For a few years we lived in a cozy little cottage that had somehow survived smack dab in the middle of a metropolis. It was so lovely and unexpected with a whimsical stone wall and a yard that was ever overwhelmed with wild flowers. In the summers the butterflies were everywhere. Years later, the cottage is the place in my heart that I paint from. After all, every now and then it is nice to remember that once upon a time, when the world was different, I lived in sweet little sundresses and saddle shoes... Art Note: This image started as a paper applique collage. Some hand sketching was added. Charcoal, Ink, Watercolor and Acrylic Painting techniques were incorporated. "

Little Red Riding Hood Hoot Owls - Ruby Red - Plush Doll with Secret Pocket


You can find this adorable Owl at BUTTERCUP BLOOM

"Ruby Red is the best bird. Her wings take her to the highest tree tops and into the fluffiest clouds. She leads expeditions every Spring high in the mountains and on the rainiest days in search of tender asparagus shoots, nasturtium flowers and baby lettuces for her World Famous salads. Other birds flock around her because they love the positive glow of her spirit and the sincerity in her warm smile. Ruby Red is a bird you'll want to wrap your wing around. This plush owl is as cute as she is unique. Her endearing face was hand embroidered onto the softest natural material. Ruby Red the Hoot Owl was created from cherry red corduroy and a gray ragg wool sweater that was felted and repurposed into new life. Not only is Ruby Red as cuddly as can be, she "gives a Hoot" about the environment. Look closely at the photos of Ruby Red and you'll find her wearing adorable Japanese-printed linen fabric with the Red Riding Hood story characters. Too fun! On Ruby's back, you will find a cute wee pocket just large enough to hold tooth fairy coins, a love note, lucky penny or small scroll of positive affirmations. Your Ruby Red Hoot Owl will come with a pocket-sized envelope/note card - perfect for gift giving! All fabric was pre-washed and thoughtfully stitched together in a smoke-free home. This Ruby Red Hoot Owl measures approximately 8.5 inches from the tip of Ruby's tufted "horns" to her soft sweater bottom & is about 17 inches all the way around the widest part of her owlish body. Ruby Red would stand up well to spot cleaning & handwashing when needed. ...hoo-hoo hoooooo hoo-hoo..."

SWEET SHABBY PINCUSHION


Beautifully detailed pincushion made by ROSE COTTAGE BOUTIQUE

"I love pin cushions and pretty things around me when I sew which is the reason I created this sweet shabby pin cushion. I have used four different fabrics in this one. I hand made the rose on top with rick rack trim and the leaves are made from felted wool felt. I then embroidered pale pink rosebuds all the way around, so cute!! I then added a sweet white and pink trim and four satin pink ribbon bows around the edge for the final touch. The bottom is in a darling pale pink rosebud ticking fabric. The matching pins are included for you! :) These pin cushions are small but take lots of time to make, they include a lot of hand sewing but I think the end results are worth all the time....I hope that you enjoy them. I have made a gift box to match your pin cushion. I used designer paper and the art of origami (paper folding) to make the gift box. This pin cushion and box set look great in a shabby or cottage style setting. You can use these pin cushions for hat pins and any pin that you might wear, they are not just for ladies that sew. The pin cushion measures about 4 1/2 inch. "
