Old footstool

I've had this old stool sitting around for a few years and now have finally gotten around to doing something with it. It was from a thrift store and I scored it for $5.00! It was covered in ratty old blue velvet, had dark wood legs, and had springs popping out.
I fixed the springs with my trusty staple gun, stapled burlap over the velvet and pieced together this awesome French repro grain sack together and used some old tattered curtain fabric I'd found in my sweet Grandma's stash. I love it!

ruffled burlap wreath

this is a ruffled burlap wreath that I made for a sweet high school girl

and a charity auction that she was gathering items for! The beneficiary is 

Oklahoma Project Woman, an organization that helps all women, 

despite financial ability, have access to breast health care.

Oklahoma Project Woman

Her high school chose this organization for their annual service project.

torn linen bow with robin's egg blue seam binding

love this bird's nest! I wove some shredded vintage sheet

music through it...

I hope it helps bring in lots of money for this wonderful cause!

a few Fall accessories

These are some cute things I've been working on...

I just LOVE this sweet burlap pumpkin...

and the vintage "give thanks" tag on it.

I used a real branch that was nice & chunky for the stem. The first "stem"

I was going to use, my dog thought was a chew toy for her...

I added a little muslin "leaf" stamped with old script..

now a little accessory for me...

a tweed rosette pin

I love the unravelled edges...

this flower would be too cute on a jacket, hat, on a ribbon as a belt...I can't WAIT!

and this burlap lovliness...

a "harvest" pennant banner

just like the pumpkin, it needed a few little "leaves"



I wanted the letters to look like they were painted on there ages ago...

love it on the mantle...

sadly for me, this won't go on my mantle because...

all of these I made to go in my friend's booth.

You can find them all and more allie~millie designs
