VINTAGE DAMASK LAVENDER EYE PILLOW *~
I
can smell the lavender as I type this description and it
smells wonderful! I used a lovely vintage, 100% cotton, white,
damask tablecloth to make the eye pillow cases. Each
case has an over-lapped back for easy removal of the
pillow. I have added vintage seam binding ribbon ties
just in case you need to keep the eye pillow from slipping while you
are napping. Remember the crisp, cotton sheets your mom
or grandma had on the beds in the past? That is what I used for these
pillows ~ a vintage, 100% cotton, white sheet. It is
stuffed with a generous cup of lavender buds and rest
assured that the aroma will last for a very long time.
Approximately 9 1/2" x 4". All
eye pillows are the same size. Some photos show them
folded and tied with the ribbons as presentation
examples.
These
eye pillows may be used many ways: at room temperature,
placed over your eyes for a restful nap; or you may
remove the pillow from the case, warm it in the
microwave for just a tiny bit, or cool it in the freezer
for a while, then slip it back in the case and place
over your eyes for a soothing experience. Care of pillow
case: Hand wash, hang to dry, and warm iron when needed.
You
may choose your Vintage Lavender Eye Pillow according to
ribbon color.

* TATTERED ANGEL WINGS *~

I thought I'd take a day in
between book wreath orders and create something a little
more whimsical and dramatic. I came up with this
BLESSINGS sculpture ~ how do you like it? :-)
These tattered edge, black and cream, paper wings are
made from pages of vintage books, just like my wreaths!
The books used are An Introduction to English Classics
(1916) and Two Years Before the Mast (1920).
Blessings is printed on the flyleaf page from one of the
books. It is surrounded by a hand pleated ruffle made of
vintage crepe paper.
The wings would look lovely hanging in a soft, romantic
decor... maybe a cottage, shabby chic, vintage, or
farmhouse style home?
The sculpture measures 24" wide by 16" high
(21" high including the ribbon). You may snip off
the ribbon and hang the wings from wire loops that are
on the back if desired.
The back is finished neatly and has the names and dates
of the books, as well as my name and year created (Lana
Manis 2009).

TARNISHED SILVER ORNAMENTS ~
I
have collected antique and vintage silver flatware for
quite some time. Some I use for what it was intended,
and some I use in my décor. These
are ornaments
made from my silver-plate collection. Each spoon
measures about 6” long, not including the wire hanger.
If you prefer not to have a wire hanger, just let me
know.
Patterns
on the silverware may vary, but I’m certain you will
be pleased with each one. Quantities are limited.
Choose
a name (Mary, John, etc.), a word (Joy, Faith, Love,
etc.), or a date (1800, 2010, etc.) of your choice;
options may be limited to what I can fit on the spoon.
