Oh my but I am deep in the holiday charge to get things ready for the holiday craft/selling season.
I got all the Christmas out of the attic this weekend. This basically means all holiday ornaments and decorations collected this year need to be sorted through.
In Kate's room (thank goodness she is at college) I have holiday items to be sorted through for a holiday mall space and Etsy.
In Ben's room (away at college as well) I have all crafted items ready for my holiday shows and Etsy. I have been very busy in the studio.
A rainbow of bottle brush trees.
A neighborhood of putz style houses (and more to come).
A bunch of elves, snowmen and snowgals.
Party birds.
An assortment of pixie boxes.
Lots more items crafted and tucked away in boxes. Hoping to spend the first part of this week in organizing and pricing mode. The holiday charge is on.
Wish me luck. Hoping the kids don't pop in for a surprise visit..they would be sleeping knee deep in glitter and boxes.
Oh how I wish I had just a fraction of your energy! I can't believe how busy you've been! Everything looks just magical and unique! Well done girl!
Good Luck this season!

Oh my! I see several goodies that might need to travel to MI. You have been a busy busy gal. Good thing you have a couple of extra rooms to spread out in right now. I'd gladly help you sort your goodies!

I can't wait! I'm so happy that I live close enough to go to the shows so that I don't have to fight the Etsy crowds for your creations! I'll see you soon, friend :-)

I bet that at night, they all come alive and dance around the room and sparkle together.

I-yi-yi, girl! It is amazing what you accumulate and even more amazing is how much you accomplish in the studio. I can't wait to see the mall space!!

Love Eddie's comment. I can see them all up dancing around! I bet IF your kids came home, you would find a spot for them. :) All your work makes my pittance look pitiful.

I'M SPEECHLESS!! Soooooo like do you ever sleep? I can imagine little elves in your studio coming to life at night when you're sleeping making things like in the little shoemaker cartoon! Excuse me while I stand here drooling over your goodies!!
I'm just amazed at how you do all that by yourself. I know you have to have an elf or two! Thanks for making me smile :-)

Oh my that is a lot of vintage Christmas. It is so pretty, but sure looks like a ton of work. The fun part is the buying, but the work has to be done. Get it all sold so you can buy more.

All I can think when I see these photos is that whoever gets to go to your shows is SO lucky! It's a lot of work, but it's pretty obvious that you love every single minute of it!

UN BE LIEVABLE! I guess when I think back on allllll the posts of what you found this year it all makes sense that you would have so much. It is vintage Christmas Wonderland. Looking forward to going to your shows!

Oh my goodness. You must be exhausted. Put on some slippers, warm a beverage, put your feet up and watch some movies or read a good book. You deserve it for all that you have accomplished. Relax a little.

How do you find the time? Looks like you've been one busy gal!

Are you sure you don't have a group of elves helping you? Or possibly an army clones? You have to be the most energetic person I know! That's a lot of stuff to craft!

Be still my Vintage Christmas hoarding soul! Oh. Did I say hoarding? I meant Collecting! Yeah that's it! My Vintage Christmas COLLECTING soul. Amazed at the amount of work a collection like that represents amassing, prepping, creating then selling. Angels to you! Strong one who can do the lifting!
