Dream Catchers, Pillows, and the Market!


Between shoveling 12 yards of mulch into the flower beds,
planting rose bushes, foxglove, and hydrangeas,
and loading the trailer with treasures from my booth
for the Allegan Antique Market on Sunday ~

I squeezed in some time to create more dream catchers to take with me.
Even though I tend to want to keep each one I make...
I do hope I sell them all.
{It'll give me a reason to make more of them, right....?}


Introducing "Prairie Girl Pink"...










"Prairie Meadow"...











and "Blue Skies".


I think I may have to hang on to this one for a while......  :)







Message me on Facebook or drop me an email if you'd like me to create one of my dream catchers
just for you...or for someone special...or as a wedding gift....or a baby shower...or birthday present...
or....
well, you get the idea!

On another note, remember that beautiful needlepoint piece I discovered at the market last month?




My friend, Randi, who is a fabulously talented quilter,
 sewed it onto a pillow slip that Shellagh made for me
from RASC pink velvet.

I love it's vintage look.




Thank you so much, Randi!




The crocheted throw was a flea market find last month.
It was originally a dull, boring shade of tan.
I dyed it using a bit of 'Petal Pink' Rit Dye.
Because of its base tan color, instead of dyeing to a candy pink like 'Petal Pink' can do when used by itself,
the throw turned a pretty mauve pink.




Randi also sewed some napkins for me out of scraps of SSC fabric that I had.
I mixed them with my RASC napkins.
Now, I've got enough for a summer party!

Well, it'll be a busy but fun weekend here at Heaven's Walk.
The weather's supposed to be bright and sunny with cool temps.
 Just perfect for partying at a flea market!

This is where you'll find me on Sunday.

  2. I wish you all the best at the fair! Your dream catchers are going to be a big seller...I bet you will get orders, too, and then you will have NO time for gardening! ;-D

    I love the pillow, very, very sweet! And the napkins! I was at Hobby Lobby today and I saw a fabric glue that was very interesting, especially for someone like me who can't sew. I never liked messing around with the iron on mesh. I'd love to have a pretty assortment of napkins, even pillow cases.

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    XO,

  36. I just planted a hydrangea myself to replace a Rose of Sharon, which died unfortunately. The blue skies dream catcher is fantastic. Cool colors can go almost anywhere in a home and this is really beautiful. These all really impressed me and I am sure that the dream catchers made big sales.

  39. I love the dream catchers they must be expensive to make. Where do you find the material to do them? Its hard to tell exactly what they are made of. Simply beautiful
