***SOLD***Shamrock Pinkeep Drum

This is the sweetest pattern by Needle Treasures Nook on Etsy. I really enjoyed stitching this one using Gloriana silk floss. It is approximately 4.5" across x 2.5" high. I firmly stuffed it with sawdust to keep your pins and needles sharp. I added lots of green to this sweet drum! I made a pin using an antique mesh shamrock from the 1950's and added it to the top of the drum. I added a green antique glass swirl pin, a few green glass-head pins, an antique button from my collection and a bronze Victorian heart in hand charm. Kindly asking $95.00 and $10.00 for travel fare.

**SOLD**Set Of 2 Primitive Fabric Covered Boxes Blue and Yellow

**SOLD** Thank you so much! This is a 2 box set of paper mache boxes, which I have covered with hand selected yellow, and blue fabrics including a wonderful Civil War reproduction print. I really loved this color combination! So perfect for Spring, Summer! Each box is hand done, and no two will be exactly alike. I do cover all sides including the bottoms of each box with fabric. I have left the inside of each box plain without embellishment. I have distressed, and aged each box giving each one a unique appearance. The top round box measures 4 inches across and 2 3/4 inches top to bottom. I used a pretty yellow with a tiny tiny print fabric for the sides, bottom, and top of the lid. I used the pretty blue Civil War reproduction print on the edge of the lid. The bottom round box measures 5 inches x 5 inches. I have used the blue print Civil War reproduction fabric on the sides, bottom and top of the lid. ( This fabric is one of my favourites!) I used a yellow fabric with a mustard flower on the edge of the lid. Stacked the set measures just under 8 inches. I am asking $50.00 plus $5.00 shipping.I will send USPS Ground Advantage.

Velvet Heart Bowl Filler

I have been collecting antiques since I was a young girl and have always loved these frozen doll heads from Germany. I can imagine a young child playing with their dolls so tenderly as they were originally created as bath toys because they floated. They were also baked in cakes and other desserts and were considered to bring good luck to the person who was given the piece with the frozen Charlotte inside. They were very inexpensive at the time so many people could afford them. Now, they are more difficult to find and can be quite expensive. I found this beautiful velvet at an antique show and saved it until I could find the perfect thing to use it for. These pinkeeps are one of my favorites to create. It is approximately 5” x 3 1/2” and firmly stuffed with sawdust. I added a stiffened bow, and some glass head pins. These are beautiful in a bowl with other pinkeeps or small handwork. Kindly asking $68.00. Shipping is on me. (Bow colors might vary)

***Sold***Sweet Mouse on Tomato Pinkeep

This is probably my favorite tomato I’ve ever created. It is very plump and full of 2 1/2 cups of crushed walnut shells to keep your pins and needles sharp. I used only 100% wools to create this. The tiny 1” mouse is made of viscose that I hand-dyed, he has tiny black eyes and wool ears. It is firmly stuffed with polyfil. His tiny little tail is a strawberry that I created and attached to the end. It is 4.5” high and fairly heavy. I never use glue to attach anything that I can’t stitch so the mouse is firmly attached to the tomato using carpet thread. The sweet tomato pin is made by Pink Dragonfly Crafts on Etsy. I also added a few red glass-head pins and a black bone ring. Kindly asking $90. And $10.00 for travel fare.
