Sew Sweet Bee Blocks and Some Estate Sale Shopping


Hello sweet people.
I promise I am not MIA.  Just can not believe it has been a week since I have posted.  Things have really been busy around here.
This Bee block is from the talented Pam Kitty.  I love the sweet fabrics she choose.  The Jacobs Ladder is becoming one of my favorite blocks.  Pam also sent me a box of  dazzled Sweethearts candies.  I have not had these is years.  They where so good.  Yes, that is really an empty box in the picture. Lol.  Thank you so much Pam for creating such a beautiful block for me.  I love it.



This month is Clara's month from Clover and Violet.  Clara choose the log cabin block in aqua and red.  This is the block I sent her.  Clara has instructions on how to make her block on her blog if any of you are interested in making a log cabin block.  They are really easy and fun to make.


I did a little Estate Sale shopping a couple of weekends ago and look what I found.  I just love these sweet little vases.  I am not sure how old she is?  The only markings on here are hand wash only.  In our little town there is an antique mall.  I had put my name on the list for a booth a while back.  Well my name came up and now I am renting a booth at Polk Petals.  It is so much fun.  I am still setting up and looking for shelves.  But it will all come together soon.

Hope you are keeping warm, I know the temps are really cold in some areas.

Hugs
donna

  10. She looks unique! I have a 'head vase' too, bought it at a thrift and have never found it in the listings on eBay. It's fun to have one that is different! Fun Find!

  11. Donna, that is such a pretty head vase! I hope you're keeping it and not selling it in the new booth! I'm so excited to hear about your space at the antique mall! It's a lot of fun and good hobby! I've been thinking about doing it again too. I hope you'll be showing us the things you fill it up with!
