Easter Pennant & Burlap Baskets

A coworker recently brought me some really cheap but kind of cute felt "baskets" she bought in the clearance area of a mass merchant for a dollar.  Personally, I thought if you "kicked it up a notch" and gave it some rustic charm, you might come up with these:


We use a variety of burlaps.... natural, cream, teal and even a damask print.  They are embellished with a variety of trims including some with vintage buttons.  A few have basket handles too.  They hold a canning jar perfectly and would be ideal to give as a gift with a canning jar filled with goodies.

Owls are great and I couldn't resist this wise little guy!


Burlap pennants are the rage.  For the Easter season, we made a few of these:


Great fun and in spring colors!

Soy Candles

     We have worked hard to perfect our soy candles and here they are in the booth at the Cottage Shops in Monticello.  We will be adding new scents as well

    Moving forward, we are working on our own blend of wax melts.  I've been having some friends at work test them out and we almost have perfected them.  A great big THANKS to them for their much needed feedback.  We should have the melts in our booth shortly.  As with our soy candles, we want them "superbly scented"!
