Feature Fridays and Jane's Apron

I have admittedly been spending way too much time on Pinterest and Craftgawker.  I have this funny routine where I check both of them after work to see what is new, and sometime I look at Pinterest in the morn while still waking up.  But, I am justifying it today by the fact that I have come upon some great new blogs to share with you all.  One of which is Jane's Apron.  

I have been on a serious vintage kick as of late.  Loving the 'glamping' style, my 70's dishes, and just a different time.  While peeking at fun stuff like this, I found Jane's Apron, which is just a fun, vintage sewing inspired blog.

I love all the vintage fashion, sewing related things she finds and makes on this blog.  The thing that first got me on her blog was a how to on printing onto tags.  I am planning on doing some of this for my etsy biz, and I wanted to see how she did it.  And the images she chose are also adorable!  




I also like this sweet and simple journal that she made.  The papers that she has found are too cute!


Such a cute idea.  I need to make one for me!

AND...I have been wanting to do this forever and I am even more inspired now....check out these super cute clipboards!


LOVE!  I have so many vintage patters that I could make color copies of or just take the pics from and use to make something like this.

And of course, she also shares her thrift shop finds.  I love these mugs that she found...


So go check out her fun blog, click around and get some vintage inspiration for your weekend.

Happy Friday!

Recycling never looked so good!

A couple of weeks ago I got a hair to work on some recycled gift wrapping projects.  With a little help from other online crafters, I came up with these pretty ditties!


What package is complete without a bow? This one is in earth tones....from a cosmo magazine.




And from the same magazine, a gift bow with blues and purples.  See how to make these at Green Eyed Monster.


I also bought a plate from my little Cricut cutter that makes gift tags.  These are from a 70's Vogue magazine!


And what to put them in?  How about these stylish little gift bags made from newspaper, magazine and more! Find the tutorial here.

Happy Saturday, all!
