The Vintage Crafter Strikes Again.





Despite what’s happening outside today, I see signs of Spring inside.

 



The thimble flowers are blooming.






And I’m surrounded by my favorite kind of roses, the Barkcloth Rose.

 



Just wanted to share these sweet gifts from my talented friend, The Vintage Crafter Magpie Ethel.

Hope you’re having a cozy & creative weekend.

    Ha! I can now spot a Magpie piece as quickly as a Van Gogh. :)

    When I thought you were showing one of your creations, I was thinking what a Magpie influence it had. So cute!

    oh my how cute are those!!!
    Do they bloom in the desert?? lol
    I die over bark cloth!! My favorite vintage dress is made from bark cloth very similar to the pattern shown here.
    I kick myself for ever parting with my full length bark cloth curtains, sigh

    What a nice contrast- the snow outside and your cozy rose and thimble garden inside.

    I love this idea, they're just so darn cute! I have a pile of thimbles that just might need a spring face lift. Always love bark cloth.

    Your thimble flowers are the cutest and most creative thing I've seen in a long time! The barkcloth roses are beautiful. I'm a barkcloth fan too.
