This is a beautiful cuff bracelet handcrafted from vintage velour fabric
 and crocheted trim. I created this bracelet in the spirit of upcycling 
and always using what you have! You just never know what 

creations you can craft from grandma's stash.
The fabric color is an olive brown mix and the trim is off white.
This bracelet can be washed by hand in cold water, mild soap. Air dry.
Band measures just under 8 inches in length and 2 inches in width 

and fits wrists from 6.25 inches to 7 inches in diameter.Just a great 
piece for the boho or prairie chic outfit.



Baby blocks, set of three eco friendly, educational, Upcycled 

Waldorf Inspired- Made to order
This is a set of three eco friendly and educational 

children's/ baby's fabric blocks.  Not only is each block one of a
 kind, but each face of the block is one of a kind. The faces of 
each block are made from (pre-washed, several times to insure
 they are clean and pre- shrunk) salvaged upholstery velvets. 
This makes them super soft and cuddly. The 'shape' appliques 
are made from repurposed T-shirts.
 ***Please note that this is a custom order. These are not the 
exact blocks that you will be receiving. I can make the blocks 
similar OR- you can help choose the color theme and whether 
you'd like shapes, numbers or letters on the faces of the blocks.
 Please allow up to 2 weeks for completion. If there is a rush, please
 let me know and I will see what I can do. 




**PEACE UPON my WINGS I shall fly around the earth, washer 
necklace, rubberstamped motif, wire wrapped beads
With peace upon my wings, I shall fly around the earth...

what a peaceful sentiment. This lovely washer necklace features a
 rubberstamped design, the sun's rays, and the partial image of a
 pretty lady, and a cute dragonfly charm. As with all my
 necklaces, the back is signed and dated.
Dimensions: 1.5" diameter
24" in length, approx.





Freda is a sock doll I made up from an argyle sock in yellow,black
,fuschia and orange.
She measures about 9" high by 3.5" wide.
I gave her orange button eyes and a yellow eco felt nose/mouth beak bit.
She has wings,long legs and even little ears!
Freda is soft,washable and safe for all but very small children and dogs 
(cats,on the other hand,seem to LOVE my dolls!).




A trio of recycled bathroom notebooks for you...
The covers are made from Irish Spring soap boxes (smell intact),
 the coptic stitch binding uses minty-fresh dental floss. The
 clean white pages came from a recycle center. These would
 be the perfect little notebooks to keep a grocery (or toiletry) list in, in the
 guest bathroom for company to leave tidy little notes in, 
or as very petit bathroom sketch books.
