I have three gift shows I'm doing before the end of the year so its a little crazy around the studio...
I've been busy creating with the vintage blue ticking I picked up last fall in Yakima...made a new slipcover for the living room ottoman, have some pillows underway...
The leftover scraps seemed perfectly paired with old french book pages...and of course, putting a bird on it makes any creation just right...
I constructed these simple sachets...two squares of ticking topped with a square of french text and finished with an image of a vintage bird printed on vellum.
I didn't see any need to finish the edges; the soft torn edge of the ticking adds to the casual nature...embellished with a pearl button and a linen string for hanging...stacked up in a pile, hung on a hook...or even displayed as an ornament on a tree...
and the bonus part...
they are filled with lavender for a heavenly scent...
ah yes...let the holidays begin...the calming scent of lavender will keep the frenzy at a lull...
Joining the Vintage Inspiration Party over at Knick of Time...
because who doesn't need an extra dose of inspiration!
