May 2012 Wedding Creations

Well, these are some of Cody and my creations.  I'll post pictures from the wedding once I receive some.  The photographer's photos are composed and all our our creations looked great.

Cody made the girls vintage necklaces. Pink rosettes with silver and diamond ovals.

Seth bought the guys nice ties and cool bottle openers. We wrapped them up in old boxes with burlap, black bottle caps and buttons.

We made all the banners for the cake, gifts and sign in table. Pre cake arrival it doesn't look that great but on their Big Day, it looked great.


At the bridal table, we made little glitter cards that said Cody and Seth on one side and you could flip over the cards and they said Mr. & Mrs.  Old family doilies, burlap runners, moustaches on sticks, vintage dollar dance bags and forks with parchment tags stating I do and Me too completed the place setting.


We hand painted all the ball jars blue and put led lights in each one.  White glue, blue food coloring and a drop of water was all that we needed.  Air dry and tada!!!! I think we had 75 mason jars out and about.  Anybody need some canning jars?

Family table settings...okay, you get the idea; burlaps runners, doilies, canning jars with vintage buttons, bird cages and family table markers created with cool frames.


My favorite creation for the day of the wedding.  Weather prediction as we got closer - RAIN! Bernadette Troy told me to hang my rosary on the clothesline.  I pulled out dear Auntie Kay's rosary and hung it out at 6:00 am.  Those old Polish traditions...they work!

About Me

Crown Point, New York, United States
Hey there! I took the jump to start a blog while I was recuperating from hip surgery. Although created, I wasn't quite happy with the site. Now, I have a new direction and my blog will develop in content and creativity as I learn. Those of you who know me know that I love to create all sorts of fabric art using vintage materials. Nothing better than using something over again and again and making it better.

Hey there!

Welcome to my blog. I'm still working on layout and design so comments are welcomed!
