TIS THE SEASON FOR NEW INSPIRATION


Every year I have been trying to better my craft. I search my favorite antique malls or shops. I search for that little piece of lace or old shoe to make my one of a kind dolls.In the beginning of the year I search out old magazines and books for ideas and photos of old Christmas and Vintage Halloween. This year I'm thinking, I will do patriotic Uncle Sam candy container. I love old stuff, it gives me goose pimples when I am around it. I try to pass that feeling on through my work. My aspiration for 2015 is to give you a few goose pimples when you see my "stuff".  In my effort to grow I have purchased some new books for 2015.. One in particular is a book I found it on Ebay: Tina Woltmans, "Christmas of Olde" I am in love with the photos in this books and the collections of old Christmas are to die for! What and inspiration .I am already moving along on some new projects after browsing through the book. If you can find a copy I would highly recommend it if you look Antique Christmas as much as I do.
