Ellanore the Lucky Elephant - Pretty Little Dresser Tray

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:33:14 -0500

$26.00
Sweet little Ellanore sits atop her very own 4-leaf clover and daydreams about how lucky she is to be exactly who she is. She's bubbly hand-blown glass, with a bright pink face and rests in her lime green metal clover bowl.

Her trunk is the perfect size for keeping your rings and the clover has just enough space to catch all your jewelry or other items you toss around on your dresser.

The clover measures 7.75 inches at it's widest point. It has three ball shaped feet that I've attached felt protectors to. Total height is 4.75 inches to the top of her sweet trunk. Items are collected vintage pieces that are painted and reconstructed to give them a fresh new life.

Questions? Please feel free to contact me. Thanks so much for stopping in and have a terrific day!

Beautiful Vintage Floral Fabric

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 20:56:25 -0400

$9.50
This is a piece of my most coveted vintage fabric. It started out as a housecoat and I have used parts of it to make baby quilts and stuffed animals.

The colors in this fabric are shades of pink and lime green on a light pink background. The main graphic is a cluster of flowers and the smaller graphics are a fern branch, a lone dark pink flower and medium pink polka dots.

You will receive the "skirt" portion of the house dress. It is not one continuous piece of fabric. It has 3 seams and is approximately 39 inches across the top and 72 inches across the bottom. I kept the skirt intact because it is hemmed and would make an adorable outfit for a little girl (maybe even 2!) or a small framed woman.

It feels like cotton, but may be a blend. Without the tags, it's hard to know. It's not "no iron" so that tells me that even if there is polyester, it's no more than 30%.

Questions? Please feel free to convo me. Thank you so much for stopping in and have a terrific day!
