Markdowns On Last Years Christmas Ornaments

Hello everyone,

I have been unpacking some Christmas items

that I had made last year for my Christmas Open House.

I have decided to list them on Ebay at huge markdowns!

These are the snowman mittens and stockings

wood and wire ornaments.

They are made of precut wood that I painted white

and decopaged material with asst. snowmen scenes onto

and then added a curly wire hanger and matching material bows

and accented with buttons.

These are a set of 7 with a starting bid of $4.99

Here are some "homespun" muslin ornaments.

These I made by sewing squares of

country homespun material to pieces of muslin.

Then I attached them with a wooden dowel and curly wire ribbon

and accented with buttons.

I also left a pocket in the front to add a gift card or a treat.

These are a starting bid of $4.99 for a set of 9.

I also have only 3 of my scented gingerbread houses left.

These are resin that I handpainted and added candy cane stripes and gumdrop trees

and added glitter snowtop roofs.

Then when dry I scented them with cooking vanilla.

These can easily be rescented year after year and they smell wonderful.

Only 3 left with a starting bid of $1.49.

I also have a set of Santa's Red Truck ornaments.

These are resin that I have painted and added sayings

like ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas and Santa Express.

I only have 8 of these left with a starting bid of $4.99

These are a Patriotic set of stockings and ornaments

that I made from a pair of jeans and an old sweater.

I added patchwork patches and star buttons.

These are listed at a starting bid of $1.99 for a set of 6.

And these are the last of my "homespun" Scented Star Ornaments.

These are resin with raised hearts and buttons

that I have painted in blue, burgundy and green.

Then I "painted" them with cinnamon and cooking vanilla.

These can easily be rescented year after year.

These are at a starting bid of $1.99 for a set of 6.

These can be found listed on my ebay.

If anyone would be interested in tutorials on any of these

please ask in the comments and I will try my best to make some.

Thanks so much for looking

and have a great day!

Christmas Craft And Gift Open House 2009

Thank you for stopping by!

I am going to share with you some pictures from the

Christmas Craft and Gift Open House that I hosted in my home in December.

I know I am late getting these posted but hopefully you will enjoy looking at them.

The open house was held December 17th - 20th

and it went great until the 21" of snow we had on the 20th.

Even with all the snow I still got up and got ready because I thought for sure someone

would be brave enough to trek through the snow to come!

But since I live on a dirt road and it is one of the last roads in

the township to get plowed ... needless to say we had no customers on Saturday.

But the rest of the days were a success.

I had a total of 7 different vendors participate including myself.

We had a nice variety of items which included

hand painted glass, jewelry, soaps and lotions, wreaths,

ornaments, wooden items, home baked goods,

vintage items as well as gift items.

Here are some pictures from the open house:

This was a lot of work but so much fun!

I had refreshments set up that included

hot chocolate, cookies, brownies and candy

and each vendor donated a door prize.

I am planning another in the Spring and I can hardly wait.

Thanks for looking.
