Welcome to Yankee Girl Dry Goods!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My name is Michelle Blanco.  I grew up in western Massachusetts where my grandmothers taught me how to crochet and sew, and to bake the best apple pies!  The name Yankee Girl came from my love of all things Massachusetts.  I love to use antiques and vintage items in everything I create whenever possible. Knowing that the things I create are comprised of objects with a history of their own makes it even more special.  
 

Please feel free to reach out to me to purchase, with any questions you might have, or even just to say hello; I would love to hear from you!

Welcome to my April update!

 

 

 

 

Don’t you just love the spring season and everything new that grows around this time? I had to create these wonderful wool strawberries for this season and couldn’t resist the sweet melamine berry basket when I saw it. Of course it’s also fair time and what could be better than winning a blue ribbon at the County Fair?! The strawberry is made with beautiful hand-dyed wool from Blackberry Primitives and is firmly is stuffed with sawdust. I added some vintage buttons from my collection, a sweet hummingbird charm and an antique glass swirl pin. It is approximately 6” long x 4.5” wide. The blue ribbon is attached with a small magnet and can be removed. Please keep this away from children under the age of 12. Kindly asking $90.00 and $10 for travel fare.

I loved this Stacy Nash Primitives Design as soon as I saw it. I have been collecting antique boxes for as long as I can remember and thought it would be even more beautiful with this design attached to the top of it. I added some Blackbird Designs fabric to the inside as well as a tiny pair of embroidery scissors and a wool strawberry I created just for this piece. This box is absolutely beautiful and perfect for holding your small stitching accessories. It is approximately 7” long x 5” wide x 3” high and is somewhat heavy. Kindly asking $85.00 and $15.00 for travel fare.

I have always loved creating these mattress style pinkeeps. These are made with different fabrics from my collection and they are stuffed with crushed walnuts shells and polyfil. I created a special patriotic pin for each of these and also created a red linen strawberry for the top of each. A few glass-head pins, an American flag charm, and antique buttons complete the pinkeeps beautifully. They are approximately 3.5” square. Kindly asking $55.00 and $7.00 for shipping.

This little box is the sweetest thing with the bright red peacocks gracing the top! This is another antique box I had in my collection that I absolutely love! The lid is not attached to this box and easily lifts off. I lined the bottom with a pretty complimentary fabric and added a tiny pair of embroidery scissors and a tiny little strawberry. I added some pretty red chenille trim and some black glass-head pins to the stitched piece. It’s perfect for holding your stitching needs while you create your next beautiful design. This box measures approximately 6" x 3” x 2.5” high. Kindly asking $80.00 and $10.00 for travel fare.
