I smocked so many little dresses on bonnets when Megan was little. She was always decked out in some creation that had tiny flowers and bunnies, ladybugs and strawberries or just her monogram. I keep one on display always --- I can't bear to pack them away. I wanted a special way to display her little frocks. I cut a piece of wood to make this baby hanger and I love the way it turned out. I made two little hangers..... one to keep and one to put in my shop!
Here is another idea using a premade wood hanger... a whimsical way to display your lovely old doilies and handiwork. These are old family pieces made by my mother-in-law years and years ago. I think I will make another to put in the cottage kitchen --- perfect for a dishtowel collection I think!!!
I love all the pretty things you've made! I looked at Etsy and around your blog! Lots of beautiful things! Love your blog! I'm going to add it to my blog list! Thanks!
I can think of no better life than the one I live. My dream of being a full time crafter of vintage, folkart and primitive works has come true. After teaching school for many years, I am content to spend my days painting and crafting in my wee little studio in the Heart of Dixie.
I love the Southern way of life. I savor the old magnolias and crepe myrtles. The hydrangeas and wisteria that grow with wild abandon never cease to amaze me. The old homes that stand like memorials to a perfect piece of time are so beautiful. I love my life!
My dearest lives with me in my farm style cottage. My constant companion is my beloved Suki, a black chow/lab mix who is much smarter than a lot of people I know! My precious daughter, Megan, is truly a gift from God. There is nothing I would change about my storybook life.
I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny, old attics; even if they dress in rags; even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young. They're still princesses. All of us. Didn't you father ever tell you that? Didn't he? Quote from A Little Princess
