The Hanky Dress Lady at the Checkered Corner June Marketplace

Here are a few photos from my booth and and my lovely neighbor vendor, Diane at the Checkered Corner Marketplace. We had good weather and it turned out to be a wonderful day.

Early morning set up.

A little closer look.

Hanky Cottage Pillow Covers - made from upcycled vintage hankies.

This is my lovely next door booth vendor, Diane.

Little Girl's Pink Bedroom

This is a photo of a little girl's bedroom that I found online at Houzz.com. I just love it. But I couldn't help but think...that this sweet room could be even sweeter if it had a touch of my Hanky Art.  Perhaps a framed Hanky Dress or a few of my Hanky Cottage pillows.



Traditional Kid

I call this one - Little Princess

I created these Hanky Cottages using bits and pieces of vintage handkerchiefs. They are slip covers that fit an 18-in pillow form.

You can find these items and others in my Etsy Shop.

 Hanky Dresses

Old Glory Antiques Fair - Littleton, Colorado

 

 

 

 

Once again this year I was fortunate to help out my friend Sonia in her booth pictured here at the Fair. Sonia is the talented proprietor of the Pine Needle Creek Shop. She is a regular exhibitor at the vintage and antique markets. If you're looking for great home décor and painted furniture, she's your gal.

 

In addition to my usual Hanky Dresses, I was pleased to be able to show two new items this year. My new Hanky Dress Bodice Patterns for displaying your own hankies and my new Hanky Cottage Pillow Covers. I use bits and pieces of damaged hankies to make these cottages.  I can't  bring myself to cut up a perfectly good hanky. Each cottage is unique and oh so charming!

Following are some things displayed by the other vendors at the show.



I just loved this vendor's furniture.



More lovely furniture and a simply precious angel.

I'm always a sucker for old linens!

Loved the flowers and loved those colorful rolling pins.

These antique quilts were simply wonderful!!!
Thanks so much Genna for bringing them.

This is what can happen to you if you don't pace yourself at Old Glory!
This lady just got plum tuckered out!

Another great show thanks to Old Glory Antiques
Thanks so much Holly.

Easter 2013

Hanky Cottage

Here is my new creation - a Hanky Cottage.  I use bits and pieces of damaged hankies to create these. Because they are a three dimensional item that is decorated on all four sides they would decorate a shelf, window sill or fireplace so sweetly. I am currently working on a pattern that will be available soon. Please go to my contact page to leave your email if you would like to be notified when the patterns are available. As a spin-off of this I am also working on a pattern for a Hanky Cottage wall hanging for all you quilters out there.
