PRAIRIE BLESSINGS *~
Vintage
Book Wreath

I've made this
wreath from the pages of a 1953 Laura ingalls Wilder
book called Little Town on the Prairie. The center
medallion reads: Prairie Blessings; I printed it on a
flyleaf from the same book. It is surrounded with a
hand pleated, black crepe paper ruffle. You may hang
it from the black grosgrain ribbon, or you may remove
the ribbon and hang it from the wire hanger on back.
The back of the wreath is neatly finished and has the
title, date, and name of the author, as well as being
signed Lana Manis 2009. It is approximately 17"
across.

* 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. One year I decorated my
entire Christmas tree with silver spoons, forks,
creamers, sugar bowls and… well, you get the idea! I
thought it was a lovely vintage sight to behold.
Needless to say, my then-teenage daughter thought
otherwise. Now that she is older (21) and wiser, I
believe she appreciates the tarnished, vintage look.
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.
The
spoons have tarnished with time, which bring out the
designs in each piece. Patterns on the silverware may
vary, but I’m certain you will be pleased with each
one. Quantities are limited.
Designs
available are:
1.
Crepe paper & sheet music rosette with vintage white
button
2.
JOY stamped message (or other holiday word of your
choice)
3.
Crepe paper & sheet music rosette with vintage black
button
