Thanksgiving Pumpkins

This is the first batch of handmade items for the holiday season. I hope to have some Christmas and winter theme items in a couple more weeks.

In the past, I sold these on Etsy via my Honeysuckle Lane shop, as well as on my own website. I only have a few to offer this season, so once these are sold, that's all for this year.

Vintage Velvet Pumpkins:
Made from vintage velvet. The leaves and stems are made from an old wool army blanket found in my Mom's attic. The stems are wired and are adjustable.
These pumpkins measure about 4" across.
Color choices and quantity available are above each photo.

$25 each
with flat rate U.S. shipping of $7 no matter how many you buy.

Email me to order and I will send an invoice.

FROST on the PUNKINS (a nod to the James Whitcomb Riley poem)
Vintage Hobnail Chenille Stacked Pumpkins:

This set measures about 7 1/2" tall and 8" across the base.
The pumpkins are stitched together and do not separate.

Only 1 set 2 sets available

I also have 2 penny rug items from last year. I have discounted these.

~*~ Wool Penny Rug Collection ~*~

This collection is very similar to one I made a few years ago. The background fabric for these items is a vintage wool army blanket. I still have the section stamped ARMY, just waiting for an idea for its use.

The pennies are all made from vintage wool, salvaged from blankets and clothing.

I have blanket stitched all the pennies together and to the background fabric.

Antique & Vintage Pincushions - Discounted!

I've collected sewing items for many years. In 2011, Etsy posted an interview about my pincushion collection here. And if you visit my blog, you'll find bits and pieces about pincushions here.

I never thought I'd part with any, but a few years ago I did just that. And now, I've decided to let go of a few more, after all, I've collected close to one hundred pincushions over the years!

If you see something you want, email me with your list and I'll send a Square invoice. Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and Discover cards are accepted.

Shipping in the U.S. is a flat $7 no matter how many you purchase, except for item #14, which is $10 due to the weight.
