Hello Girls...

Thank you for your interest and support of my creations. It is GREATLY APPRECIATED. This one is called SUGAR AND SPICE AND EVERYTHING NICE and features vintage ornaments from the 1940's, 1950's, 1960's and today with a running theme of CANDY CANES as you can see.

I have been collecting Christmas ornaments for thirty years and this wreath was made from that collection.

TOM CAT IS HAVING A CAT NAP!!

Here is my beloved TOM CAT having a very nice cat nap on the new bench I just finished. He can barely keep his eyes open. Tom came to us as a kitten on a snowy very cold January morn. My husband called to me to hurry outside and there Tom was hiding in the bushes. Very cold ....I ran in and got him some food and milk and every mouth full he took he made a terrible cry of hunger. I will never forget and I doubt if Tom will. I immediately scooped him up and took him inside and promised him he would never go hungry again. He was very tiny and I used to tell my husband and his son...OOOH JUST LOOK AT THIS BIG TOM CAT...and they would laugh and say I was out of my mind and that Tom would never be very big...well as you can see I was right...he is one BIG TOM CAT...I can barely lift him any more. My grandchildren are wild about him and he is the most loving cat and so kind to the children. Send me one of your cat or dog stories. I would love hearing it. Please leave it in my comments so I know you stopped by.

ooooH Girls....I could not wait to show you these stockings

ooooH MY GOSH!!!I am having so much fun creating for you. I love to decorate and to be allowed to decorate for others in my idea of a dream occupation. This absolutely adorable stocking was made from a vintage Florida tablecloth and the reverse is a red and white antique hand pieced and stitched quilt. The tip of the toe has a jingle bell and there is a matching loop for display made from the tablecloth. Imagine this stocking in your home in Florida or if you were born in Florida display it proudly. Think about giving these to a friend in Florida filled with sweet gifts and sweets and what a remarkable gift these stockings would make. This stocking is 25 inches long from the top of the cuff to the tip of the toe. It is lined and has great body. It looks and feels luxurious. I have just two stockings like this listed in my Ebay auction...seller SUMMERSDARLING....they are both made from the VINTAGE FLORIDA TABLECLOTH and ANTIQUE RED AND WHITE QUILT however they have different scenes. OOOh these are W O N D E R F U L. Contact me at my email summersdarling@hotmail.com if you are interested in these yummy socks!!

Thank you for viewing my blog. I love hearing from you. Please leave a comment.

OOOh my gosh...it is almost Thanksgiving

Hello girls....it has been so long since I blogged I might have forgotten how.
I have been very busy getting my Ebay and Etsy stocked for the holiday season.

Seems like I am creating non stop. Here are a few photos of items I have listed.

I have been making wreaths for eight years and stockings for 30. I love making them.

We are also going to sell our giant Santa...thought you would enjoy seeing him.

HANDMADE PINCUSHIONS WITH A TOUCH OF WHIMSY

I have been creating a variety of pincushuions with a touch of whimsy lately and they are so much fun to make. Mine are fragrant with lavender and they fill your room with the scent. You will see a baby shoe in white and one in pink and a pretty sundae cup. I decorated them with ribbon roses and sweet pins and whatever suits my fancy at the moment. These are a happy way to create. Hope you like looking at these sweet items. You can find them on Ebay or purchase directly from my blog by contacting me at summersdarling@hotmail.com. Please leave a comment. I love hearing from you.

SOLD ON EBAY*VINTAGE LITTLE BOY SNOW SUIT 1940'S SHADES OF DICK AND JANE

OOOh my gosh girls ....look at this. This adorable snow suit is vintage perfection. In excellent condition and made by Fieldston and is all wool with suede accents. There is a designer style tag on the front flap of the jacket and it says MAN TAILORED FIELDSTON. The suede accents can be found on the collar,front and back yoke and suede buttons and the leggings or JODPHERS. The jodphers have slightly flared bottoms at the ankle and zippers to easily place the leggings on a child. The leggings are like riding pants or vintage hunting pants...such amazing style. This also has a delightful hat with flaps. Although this is for a little boy it could easily be adapted for a little girl by just adding your own hat. I think a little fur hat on a girl would be grand with this snow suit.Tooooo good to be true. I like to picture this in my mind's eye on a child sitting in one of our vintage Taylor Tot strollers and then imagine that on your Christmas card this year. It would just carry them away. If you like vintage clothing do check out my Ebay collection. We have all sorts of interesting vintage and antique offerings. Just thought you would like this sneak peek and don't forget to sign up for my print DRAWING..... YACHTING in a post already listed. Please leave a comment here. I cannot wait to hear what you say about this suit.
