All you need is a few twigs and some craft paint to make these rustic style peppermint sticks. I used the watershoots that grew on our apple tree this past summer. The straighter and smoother the better. I have decided that these may be a bit long so they are getting a trim soon.   The label is from my new set of printable peppermint stick labels. There are four labels ranging in style from primitive to Victorian. Just click the link to my Etsy shop to find them.  ...

Happy Fall everyone! I finally had some time to get this out of my head and made into a printable. This design is one of eight in a new old style Halloween pantry set, number 127 in my shop. The links are here on my blog. It is wonderful for fall kitchen decor or make smaller bags for treats for special friends. Directions for printing and making the sack are not included but there are a multitude of posts on Pinterest about printing on muslin. I use the freezer paper method. It is not for the faint of heart and I recommend using a spare printer if you have one. I use a thin well pressed muslin that has been pre-dyed. There is a copy of the print in the set without the 'old paper' colouring and you'll want to use that one. That is why it's important to already have your fabric a darker shade. You cannot dye it or add a water based stain after it is printed as the ink will run. I got a spritz of water on my 'O' and it ran. Yikes. Basic sewing skills are all that ......

Here's another super easy bit of spring decor. The label is from my set number 44 and I used fur-like yarn for a filler. Pom poms would be great too! I printed the label a bit larger than actual size.  ...

Thanks to Tracey at  My Sweet Home Living I have taken the leap into using her recipes for Coffee Grunge, Coffee Podge and paper bag magic to make this bag for my Spring Bulbs label. I love how it turned out. I had everything on hand that I used for this vignette so it was budget friendly too. You will find the video tutorial on making the bag on Tracey's Facebook page, link above. I crocheted an edging on some old cotton gloves and used Tracey's coffee grunge recipe to age them. The photo is of my great grandfather, a master gardener, in his garden in the 1940's. The clothespin was my great grandmother's. Tracey has a another fantastic video tutorial on making even more realistic bulbs. For mine I used golf balls, medium weight brown paper, coffee podge, faux tulip leaves and spanish moss. To make your own, cut 6" to 7" circles from brown paper. Crumple the paper and brush on some coffee podge on the inside. Wrap around the golf ball and twist to close. Brus......

  I love a good egg in my spring decor and although the eggs in this vintage image are not chicken eggs I loved the art and could not resist. The label is one of eight in my new spring set, #126. Just click on the link to my shop.   ...
