Vintage Fall

These vintage/prim boards bring fall to any decor! I've used recycled pine boards cut in various sizes and added vintage fall/Halloween scenes or sayings. Easily tucked onto a mantel, window sill or cupboard, they bring an added touch to the fall season. Black and pumpkin paint colors were used on all board, making a combination of boards a perfect blend. Click the picture to see additional choices. Since boards were cut randomly, sizes may vary slightly - the small boards are approximately 5" x 3.5", and the two larger boards are 6 1/5" long x 4.5" high. They are made to be free standing, but if you wish to have a hanger on the back I can add a hook. Each sold separately, so you will need to let me know specifically which board: Small $10/ea. hocus-pocus, October 31, girl sitting on pumpkin, boy carving pumpkin. Large $12/ea. girl holding pumpkin or witch & black cat. Please email me if you wish to purchase. beckhoop@yahoo.com. Shipping is included in pricing.

* Sold thank you*Blue and tan Antique Quilt Pinkeep

I love using antique quilts in my creations. The quilt I used for this was one that had seen better days. The quilt was over 100 years old and showing a lot of wear so I salvaged what I could to make these wonderful pinkeeps. I can only imagine the history this quilt has! The pinkeep is a beautiful tan and cream color embellished with mother-of-pearl buttons, an antique brown flower button, and vintage glass-head pins. Around the quilt, I stitched antique ric-rac and then added glass beads to that. There is also a small cream colored crocheted flower under the button. The pinkeep is 5” long and filled with wool scraps and sits firmly in a dark blue and tan fabric covered papier-mâché lid. I am including the tiny 1” wool strawberry fob I made and the tiny bronze scissors. Kindly asking $65.00 and $7.50 for travel fare.
