More ornaments for Junk Fest.
 

Old reflectors with

vintage images, tinsel, cheese cloth
and bottle caps.

Pleated paper with a little French

inspiration.
 

And a few repurposed tart tin ornaments.
 

Most vintage images are from

Love her wonderful, vintage graphics!

Vintage tree ornaments

I've been busy making 

tree ornaments . . .

getting ready for Junk Fest.
 

 Some vintage reflectors packed
with vintage treasures 

Can be a tree ornament or festive
holiday corsage.

Lots of styles . . . 

each a one-of-a-kind.

What are you crafting for Christmas?

a frosty, foggy fall morning

Hi friends,

I hope you've been enjoying your fall.

We just returned from a week in New York

{moving our daughter and family there},

and I woke up to this beautiful,

cold, frosty morning . . .

 I was surprised to see our Maple tree already losing its leaves
 

an hour later . . . less frost, more fog

Enjoy the rest of October!

I'll be doing more posts this month . . . 

sharing some vintage finds from New York

and items I'm creating for the JUNK FEST 

Holiday Flea Market

at McMenamin's Grand Lodge 

in Forest Grove, Oregon

November 19.

If you're close enough to come,

it'll be a great place to do some Christmas

shopping and get some items for yourself,

in a gorgeous vintage setting.

It is a hotel if you need a place to stay.

Miniature Rose Garlands

I'm busy creating and making items

for the next Junk Fest . . .

and I have something to share for pink Saturday.

Every other day I've been picking miniature

roses from our rose bushes to make

these pretty rose garlands.
 

The next Junk Fest will be mostly Christmas,

but a girls gotta have romance too, right?

Some rose garlands will become

tree ornaments or little heart wreaths.
 

Not only pink,

but white, and red too.
 

Want to make your own flower garlands?
Just string them on a needle and thread.
Enjoy!

Thanks for visiting.

Hope you're having a wonderful autumn!
Some of our leaves are beginning to change.
