More Goodies Added to the Store! {Just in Time for Christmas!}

Hi all! I just wanted to stop in real quick and talk about some of the goodies that I added to my Etsy store yesterday. I added a few handmade items and a few vintage items too!

First off, I added a one of a kind owl plushie made out of vintage fabrics. He can be used as a door hanger in a nursery (he doesn't have any sharp or small parts, so he's okay around little hands! :), an ornament on a tree, a gift tag, pretty much anything!

You might recognize that pattern from my little teaser post in late October... and don't worry, I'm going to reveal what that little purple owl was up to real soon (keep your eye on the blog on Monday)! Just like the others, he's hand-stitched. He's a steal at only $5.99.

Next, I posted a vintage trivet/doily in phenomenal shape, believed to be from the 1950's or so. The colors are vibrant and the grapes are intricate and cute.

I think this would make an excellent gift for a grandmother or mother this Christmas, especially for one who loves grapes or has a grape/wine theme going on. Priced at $9.99. I can't crochet to save my life but I can just imagine the time this took to make!

Then, I added a baby pink garter! I hand-sewed each bead and sequin to the garter. I actually have been making these for years - back in high school, I used to put them on eBay for a little extra spending cash. I thought this would be prefect for a bachelorette party, prom or a wedding.

What is neat is that the beads don't fly off when the garter is stretched. The way that they are sewn into the elastic helps this. :) Priced at $6.99, I think this would even be cute to attach to the bachelorette's gift!

Up next, I added a pair of "Christmas Tree" earrings that I created. They aren't actually Christmas trees, but I think the wire wrapping and the triangular shape makes them look that way! I can't help but think they would be cute for a holiday party or New Years.

They're stainless steel and a "steal" at $5.99.

This next one is kind of fun: They are vintage "dice" earrings. Two little red dice are surrounded by a little goldtone cage and hang off of goldtone hoops. I was actually surprised when I found others on Etsy like these!

Others had theirs priced up to $22.00, but I think these would be fun for Las Vegas or a Casino and I doubt you'd want to spend all of you casino money on earrings, so I priced mine at $7.99. ;)

And last but not least, where would we be if we didn't add a birdie to the mix? I created this little guy out of Moda "Reunion" fabric, which is just gorgeous and fun to work with. I thought he would be awesome perched up on a shelf in a nursery (he's got some sharp parts, so he unfortunately is not a toy) or would even make a cute birthday cake topper.

He's very cute and priced at $5.99. He also comes in a little gift box for easy gift giving!

So there you have it... my latest additions to the store! I wanted to add some decently priced goodies because I know the holidays can get tight budget-wise. Keep checking back for more decent priced holiday gift ideas!
