Treehouse note cards - set of 2

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 11:48:21 -0400

$6.00
Set of two note cards created with upcycled imagery from a vintage children's primer.

The first card shows children hanging out on the upper level - the "penthouse", if you will - of a treehouse: playing violin, spying on neighbors, reading a book, and bird-watching. This image is mounted on a coffee brown textured A2 note card, measuring approximately 4" x 5 1/2" (landscape). The second card shows us what's happening downstairs: dogs are running wild and kids are examining leaves and hanging art on tree bark. You know, kid stuff. This image is mounted on a periwinkle blue textured note card of the same dimensions (also landscape.)

The inside of each card is smooth, white stock, left blank to scrawl your own club house rules. The set comes with two coordinating white envelopes and the whole shebang is packaged inside a protective cello sleeve.

Play with Your Food note cards - set of 2

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 13:31:44 -0400

$6.00
Set of two note cards created with upcycled imagery from a vintage Betty Crocker cookbook for kids.

The first card depicts what can only be described as a fruit salad of horror, complete with hard-boiled egg head, raisin eyes, pasta hair and a lettuce skirt. It's hard to say for sure, but I think pimiento is also involved. The second card shows off a great technique to make cereal more a-"peel"-ing (get it?): throw in half a banana, top it off with some raisins and a Red Hot, and add a jaunty orange slice hat. Yeah, that oughta do it.

The fruit salad image is mounted on a pale yellow textured A2 note card, measuring approximately 4" x 5 1/2" (portrait) and the banana cereal travesty is displayed on a red textured note card of the same measurements (landscape). The inside of each card is smooth, white stock, left blank for your own gustatory jottings, and the set comes with two coordinating white envelopes packaged inside a protective cello sleeve.

The inside is also turquoise, left blank to ruminate on the mysteries of the universe, and the card comes with a matching turquoise envelope inside a protective cello sleeve.

Primary bracelet

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:51:49 -0400

$15.00
I named this bracelet "Primary" because it evokes primary colors on the color wheel, primary school and sweet simplicity. You know, the basics.

Carved, plastic cabochons showcase a delightful floral pattern in red, blue, yellow and green on a white background. They're accented by carved plastic mum cabochons in yellow, red and celadon green. Cabochons are securely fastened to the silver-plated brass link bracelet with E6000 adhesive.

The bracelet measures 7.5" and each cabochon is a little larger than 10 mm.

Custom button bouquet

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 10:41:42 -0400

$15.00
Button flowers are bright, cheerful and oh-so-versatile. Pop 'em in a bud vase or Mason jar to add a burst of color to your dreary office cubicle! Add them to your mantle or windowsill for a colorful home accent. Wear them in your hair. Use them to decorate gifts. Use them as shower favors, wedding centerpieces, or a wedding bouquet... The possibilities are endless!

This listing is for 10 stems in your choice of color scheme. The images show some examples of flowers I've made. Because each bouquet is made to order, your flowers will vary somewhat from those pictured.

I primarily use vintage buttons with the occasional new button thrown in here and there.

If you'd like a different quantity than I've listed here, please convo me and I'll make you a custom listing. I'm open to embellishment - just let me know if you'd like me to work in any special non-button details and I'll create a custom listing for an upgraded bouquet! Possibilities include vintage millinery flowers, leaves and mushrooms, and touches of ribbon and other sweet vintage trims.
