{lovelies via jane's apron}

I've posted about Jane's vintage whimsical altered collage lovelies in the past, but I had to devote another post to her creations because....I just can't get enough. I love vintage sewing patterns, so to use them to create one-of-a-kind darlings makes my heart flutter! I want everything {and more} I featured above. Well, I think I'm going to mosey on over to Jane's Etsy shop to do a little shopping.

Enjoy.

Julie Thompson of the lovely blog, Jane's Apron, makes the cutest note cards, collage door hangings, clip boards, gift tags and clothes pins (Yes, clothes pins - they are too cute!) all made from vintage sewing patterns & altered children's books. She scores the best thrift stuff,too! Don't you agree? If you do, you should drop by her Flickr site & Etsy shop to see more of her vintage lovelies.

Vintage Handmade Collage Art

These are vintage crochet needle cases and fabric coin purses handmade by Viv Sliwka of Hen's Teeth Art. I love the details of the stitching and the colors and collage prints are super -lovely! And, the inside of the coin purses are just as pretty as what you see on the outside of the purses. Her blog and Flickr site feature lots more of her beautiful creations. Take a look when you get a chance.
