Vintage Style Chenille Easter Ornaments

I just added a new set of 6 vintage style chenille Easter ornaments to the Old World Primitives Etsy Shop. The set includes two of each ornament style pictured below. These chenille ornaments are an Old World Primitives design, and are made of chenille plus vintage paper scrap Easter images printed on card stock.

Featured on Today's Primitive Home Also, I am honored to announce that my primitive crow doll a few posts below is featured on Today’s Primitive Home today. The women who run the site feature “exceptional, distinctive, OOAK handcrafted American Folk Art created by contemporary American Artisans, for your Primitive, Early American and Colonial style home” as a wonderful free service to the primitive community. They have a giveaway running now for an 18th Century Reproduction Wall Box (and I reeeeeally want to win!).

WSOAPP Shoppe January Update

Happy New Year to all! My New Year’s Resolution for 2009 is to manage my time better and be more productive… so far, so good. Have you made any resolutions for this year?

I just finished filling the Old World Primitives WSOAPP Shoppe with some new goodies for our January 7th update. The first item that I added is a primitive heart make-do. It is wrapped with painted and stained cheesecloth that I have filled with stained vintage and Valentine images plus a sprig of sweet annie. A stained white dove also flies over the heart. The cheesecloth is secured by a rusty safety pin and some stained vintage lace ric-rac tied in a bow.

SOLD, thank you! 

My second new item is a primitive doll called Sweet Annie Love Letters. She and the heart make-do were both created using Veena’s Mercantile patterns. Sweet Annie will fit in nicely with either Valentine’s Day or everyday decor. For more information about Sweet Annie Love Letters and the heart make-do above, pay them a visit in the Old World Primitives WSOAPP Shoppe.
