This set of two potholders featuring schooner boats on a brown background comes from the Etsy shop of SewingGranny.

Butterfly Dreams Hair Band by Clara Clips

Doesn't this make you think of Spring?  This hair band has been designed, hand cut and stitched by Clara Clips.  Clara's shop features all sorts of felt goodies!  I was immediately drawn to the finger puppets she has created, as well as the vintage styled dress up dolls.  Her shop also carries felted purses and all kinds of fun hair accessories.  All of the items in the shop have been designed and created by Clara.

Friday Finds: Handmade Rag Doll

Isn't she a cutey?  When I was a little girl, I would have loved to have a doll like this one!  I love her little jean skirt and jacket.  This little rag doll can be found at La Chiffonniere.  In this shop you will find other dolls and plushes - all made with re-cycled materials.  Also, the shop offers doll clothes, cloth bags for Mom and for holding childrens' pencil crayons, and colourful, cloth wigs for children.  I also noted that there are some vintage childrens items for the collectors out there.
