On the weekend I took part in a Local Vintage & craft tour, and offered Lavender & Lemon Iced Tea at my location along with some sweets. The Iced tea tasted delicious & everyone was loving it and wanting the recipe. I would definitely make it again, and it makes a lot depending on how big of a container you are needing to fill. I had used a Vintage style glass Mason Jar looking dispenser which you can get everywhere now a days, with them being extremely trendy.<br />
<br />
I carry "Karla's Specialteas" from Mission, BC, and find all her flavours of organic teas dreamy with amazing blends that she either personally grows, or works with other organic growers in her area. She then blends them together for us to enjoy. Here is the link to her site to read more about her back story & why I love being apart of her creations. <a href="http://karlasspecialteas.ca/the-story/">http://karlasspecialteas.ca/the-story/</a><br />
<br />
Here is also the link to her site and more information on the products she produces. <a href="http://karlasspecialteas.ca/">http://karlasspecialteas.ca/</a><br />
<br />
In the meantime here is the Recipe that I made using her Earl Grey Lavender tea:<br />
<br />
For Iced Tea use the ratio of 2 tsp of tea to one cup of boiling water. (So if you are making a large container you would be looking at using more than this, but its a guideline)<br />
Steep your teas for 2-4 min. or longer depending on strength. I added slices of Lemon and Lime to the warm tea after steeping. You can also re-steep using the very same tea leaves that you just used. One of the things I love about her teas is you can make another batch without being waistful. You can also steep your tea in cold water overnight or for 4 hours, in the fridge.<br />
<br />
After your tea has cooled you can start adding your ice, and I added already made Lemonade to the teas mixture for the sweetness. You can also add honey or sugar to your sweetness liking and keep it in the fridge. Chill & enjoy!!!<br />
<br />
Sidenote: The Lavender already in the tea is most likely a Culinary Lavender and only infuses a gentle amount of Lavender to the right taste on your palette. It isn't perfumey to the taste at all...just in case you were thinking of using Lavender out of your Garden. ;) There are different strengths and types of Lavender...and I leave it up to the Pros who know what they are doing. Petit Creek Lavender also sells a Culinary Lavender to add to baking and infused into honey it is amazing! Definitely need to use it to bake with to accompany the tea...next time.<br />
<br />
PM me to get your hands on this Brand of tea. I also carry these delicious flavours as well, and can't decide which one is my favourite, because I love them all!! (The tea horder in me talking here. LOL)<br />
<br />
Japan's Treasure - Green Tea<br />
Earl Grey Cream<br />
Chai Latte<br />
Fireside<br />
Midnight Mint<br />
Pink Grapefruit<br />
Lapsang Souchong (smoky flavour for Meat rubs)<br />
<br />
Hope you try it and let me know what you think!!<br />
Hope you are all having a great summer, and can kick back with a glass of this delicious Iced Cold tea on a warm summer's night.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Diana aka Vintage Cove girl<br />

Basic Pancake Recipe. Purity cookbook has been a staple cookbook in our
family for 3 generations. I went off to College with a torn up, no
cover, well loved copy of it. I have since then always made recipes out
of it because it was recipes you could look in your pantry, and baking
cupboard and easily make from what you have on hand. The book first was compiled in 1917, and the copy I possess is a revised reissued copy from 1967. Cooking, baking, preparing, and appliances have changed dramatically since the book was born. Iceboxes, woodenstoves, sifting, bread making, freezing, and canning have all now been changed to become the modern age way and recipes to suit new ways of doing things.<br />
<br />
Here is my twist on a old standby Pancake Recipe:<br />
<span style="background-color: orange;">Pumpkin Pancakes</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDwlKX6pyf2obuF1ocY5s_82DflFAy8_FBQBNWVxs8vO9vz6n1JiZrM1ZGtTUfccvj_DYkjfsqCSxYjlNZbAtpECrfZwbfufUldXL-kKH1ywEKSxLj1VYfeNm0d_wwlFtJOqqdxEebLFiw/s1600/Pumpkin+Pancakes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDwlKX6pyf2obuF1ocY5s_82DflFAy8_FBQBNWVxs8vO9vz6n1JiZrM1ZGtTUfccvj_DYkjfsqCSxYjlNZbAtpECrfZwbfufUldXL-kKH1ywEKSxLj1VYfeNm0d_wwlFtJOqqdxEebLFiw/s400/Pumpkin+Pancakes.jpg" width="330" /></a></div>
<span style="background-color: orange;">Blend or sift together:</span><br />
2 cups Flour<br />
3 tbls Brown Sugar<br />
3 tps Baking Powder<br />
1/2 tps. Salt<br />
1 tps. Cinnamon<br />
1/4 tps. Ginger<br />
1/8 tps. Nutmeg<br />
1 tsp. Pure Vanilla<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: orange;">Combine:</span><br />
1 beaten egg<br />
1 3/4 Cups milk or more for thinner batter<br />
3 heaping tbls. of Pumpkin Puree <br />
2 tbls. Oil or melted butter<br />
<br />
Combine liguids to dry Ingredients. Beat only until combined. (Can use a scraper to combine by hand)<br />
<br />
Grease skillet, and measure out the batter to the desired size of pancakes. Wait until bubbles appear to flip. Cook until golden brown. Serve hot with butter, and syrup, Enjoy! Yield 12-4" pancakes<br />
<br />
Want to try the Pancakes minus the Pumpkin & Spice? Just leave out the Spices, and Pumpkin Puree. I still enjoy adding the hint of Vanilla in the Plain Recipe for a little extra flavour. The original recipe does not contain adding Vanilla, so try it both ways & decide which way you prefer it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje7H2WHrbTgQztAHzmW03hrwxLyN5A5vsO_z_OH8HDxkMAcZD29wxH3-MLIKECM453BWo7nGVQp8BmxPjBdKnwxJ8MF5ORHscmQv6GOvZeKerPzrsNXdgpLMHKG3ox-LX0-MNj0CQQgfoe/s1600/Pumpkin+Spiced+Latte+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje7H2WHrbTgQztAHzmW03hrwxLyN5A5vsO_z_OH8HDxkMAcZD29wxH3-MLIKECM453BWo7nGVQp8BmxPjBdKnwxJ8MF5ORHscmQv6GOvZeKerPzrsNXdgpLMHKG3ox-LX0-MNj0CQQgfoe/s400/Pumpkin+Spiced+Latte+2.jpg" width="288" /></a></div>
Make a Pumpkin Spiced Latte to compliment your pancakes by using the
same spices and 1tbsp. of Pumpkin Puree with Coffee Cream & sugar
with the amount you enjoy in your coffee. Add a drop of Vanilla to your
coffee, stir in your ingredients to a large coffee mug with coffee already in it.
Or simmer all the ingredients in a saucepan, until hot and not boiling, to add to coffee. You could make a large batch and keep in the fridge once it has cooled.Vintage Cove girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17257303566346799535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046044931447126448.post-49631470966045690422015-02-26T11:47:00.000-08:002016-02-15T14:33:31.506-08:00Vintage & Handmade Market Registration 2015<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Vintage & Handmade market, hosted by Vintage Cove girl. </b></span><br />

<br />
This year getting ready for Christmas really "snuck up on me." I was spending months getting ready for the Christmas Craft fair as always, and this year with all the other activities going on in our lives...well Christmas "snuck up on me." So without further a due here is our Home this year with all the Christmas touches. We tried to scale back, and were hoping the less is more theme would be better. But still lots of things made their way into the decor, maybe more than I wanted. One tends to forget from year to year what we have & tend to buy a little bit more each year. I will have to try & stop myself next year...yah right! Especially when I make something and want to keep one for ourselves.<br />
<br />
Have a Very Merry Christmas this year & all the best in 2015!! Enjoy.<br />

I became a stockist of Haven Living's Skincare line not just to sell it, but because it is a product I believe in. Which for me is huge! Haven Living is skincare that you can feel great about using on your whole family. Flip the jar over to the back & you will see it contains Coconut Oil & Soy. Well I can read those & pronounce them! So right there I am on board the Haven Living Skincare train. Just about every member of the family has sensitive skin, even Exzema. So to find a product that doesn't have Perfume or artificial fragrance is tough. I used to be a Cosmetician back in the day, and when I flip a package over, I thoroughly read the ingredients that I can recognize, and know what makes a product tick, or cause skin irritation etc. Perfumes & fragrance is one of the big ones. Just because a product says it is Perfume free doesn't mean it isn't fragrance free. The fragrance is usually artificial, as well as all the preservatives to keep a product stable for its shelf life. Who wants all that? Not me, nor do I want it for my family. Enter Haven Living Skincare. . .<br />

For my first try I chose the Mandarin & Bergomot scrub, because it has "Therapeutic values of mandarin orange provide relief from
inflammation and improve circulation, while promoting growth of new
cells. Bergamot aids in the healing of scars and help to balance skin
tone. The fresh citrus scent stimulates the spirit like sunny day in the
orange GROVE."<br />
From aesthetically pleasing packaging, and the smell, oh the smell, to a clean flawless feeling after you have used the Polishing Scrub on your face. Dry patches gone, oily patches gone, and shiny radiant skin in its place. My skin has been feeling like it has been lacking lustre since summer left, and I have been looking for a product to give it a "pick me up". Look no further, I found it and hope it will never leave. As I added a touch of water to the scrub to emulsify it to a better consistency to apply to my face, I was taking deep breaths to take in the essence of Mandarin & Bergomot. Then as I was using it, making sure not to miss one square inch of my face, I used it around my lips and could taste it, and yes it even tasted good!! Rinsed it all off & towel dried my face & the feeling of renewed skin was instant. So I obviously had lots of skin cells build up, and that's why my face was looking and feeling the way it was. My other facial scrub wasn't cutting it. I can honestly say my skin looks & feels younger today! It also completely got rid of my make up, which is a complete bonus.<br />

<br />
Now to try the "Grounds" Body Pumice.<br />
I only got to try this on my hands, but I tell you my legs & feet are next. So soft, and supple after using this, and what a great morning ritual if you have the time once a week to quickly give your hands a treatment, or every other day. OK, Every day if you really had the time. Gets rid of dry, flaky skin that our hands are so prone to, as well as leaving them moisturized. It feels greasy while you are rinsing them, but the minute you towel dry, its completely absorbed and not a greasy residue what so ever.<br />

<br />
So the last product so far that I have tried in the line-up is the Energizing Room & Linen Spray. Well I can tell you a lot more laundry & ironing might get done with this product. Lemon & Ginger, Mmmm. Natural citrus smells that are so fresh. Once again flip the bottle around to look at the label, and you will see Distilled water, Witch Hazel & essential Oil fragrance blend.<br />
Its Clear, and safe for your linens.<br />
<br />
My next trial is going to be on the Sprout Baby soap, which I am going to use on the whole family. <br />
<br />
Well done Desja of Haven Living, you have created a wonderful product that we can all feel great about using in every sense.<br />
<br />
....now off to spread the word of natural, amazing, quilt free skincare.<br />

I should hope so, but with all the ideas I keep wanting to make & do, plus be the perfect host will be a challenge. I am up for it!! So here are a few things that I have been working on this past week & will be coming with me to my booth. Spread the word to all your friends & relatives who wouldn't want to miss this First (and hopefully not last) Vintage & Handmade Pop-up Market to hit Merritt. Lots of Local & Out of town Vendors will be in attendance. Still Accepting Applications, if you or you know someones wares that would compliment this Vintage Styled market nicely. A Vendor list will be posted closer to the Market, so customers know what to expect, and who will be their first stop shop.<br />

<br />
First blog post of the year, and a long while since the last one I did since before Christmas. I really need to be better about getting on board with more frequent blogging. Anyways, this is worth the wait!! We tore apart our ensuite vanity quite a while ago, and you are probably wondering why we even had such a notion to do so? Well when you see the end result, it will answer that question for you. We fell in love with & purchased a beautiful 1940's Reproduction dresser. At first I always think Paint, Paint! But not when it is in such beautiful shape & needs very little TLC. It would bring such warmth & a little more traditional style into our home, of ever changing decor. This piece is a classic, and you won't want to ever get rid of its charm!! I promise!<br />
<br />
So it all starts with a picture of the "Old"/new vanity in its place needing to be all ripped out.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-2Xvgz_UAmu_-zJgzar8UY6gBqWJhDHUiQrJxP8FzqCO-zjpqgzfceMPr4v9hYODpCtCHHqNTHhaboFwt3u7VVb7WXzjp4wwWSR2FjErieLYXLEV39ULtmAB1aJlWNB63IPSBvXLXwMn_/s1600/Old+Vanity+Before+taken+out.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-2Xvgz_UAmu_-zJgzar8UY6gBqWJhDHUiQrJxP8FzqCO-zjpqgzfceMPr4v9hYODpCtCHHqNTHhaboFwt3u7VVb7WXzjp4wwWSR2FjErieLYXLEV39ULtmAB1aJlWNB63IPSBvXLXwMn_/s1600/Old+Vanity+Before+taken+out.jpg" height="640" width="385" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
But its not just as easy as that, from beginning to end. The replacement Vintage Vanity is a lot longer and deeper than the current vanity. Therefore nothing will be in the right place once the new vanity is in. Everything including lighting, the mirror, and the plumbing must all be moved over to the right!! Approximately about 10-12" to the right.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1dnqgYWK2sOvKSV6R7ipRq4rMbuK2pvPnGGG2XzFKs2sdVbuoyvjzBTjgTO_ZLgnAOX8envSDqMb_Mm4pORucWH4UEMMNQdyofO68Qbk6n_nOXkcbyKYuDi2D9HyEO5EDKaMhfYN8xDdT/s1600/Pulling+it+apart.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1dnqgYWK2sOvKSV6R7ipRq4rMbuK2pvPnGGG2XzFKs2sdVbuoyvjzBTjgTO_ZLgnAOX8envSDqMb_Mm4pORucWH4UEMMNQdyofO68Qbk6n_nOXkcbyKYuDi2D9HyEO5EDKaMhfYN8xDdT/s1600/Pulling+it+apart.jpg" height="640" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
So we turn the water off & get at it. Pull the vanity out, and then the mirror needs to be moved? Well also not a easy task. If heated enough, you could possibly use a wire, and see saw it back and forth trying to get it to come apart. Not in our case. We decided that we would still have to remove all the adhesive off the drywall anyways, that we would just cut around the mirror right through the whole depth of the gyprock and then proceed to take the heavy mirror down. So we did just that. We took it outside, watered it down with the hose & began, cutting, scraping and peeling away the gyprock. Which sounds labour intensive but was surprisingly not. It is cheaper to buy drywall and get all redone than purchasing another new large mirror, with the lighting holes cut in it, as ours has.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSFJAAZS1OTZxlA0r1-9Kbg95SSOs9eiMomWCLrFIEL7jOH2thjTTnpKO-5qwQtBn5CcuFBsRV7z1H_9BKBtbBUHsUXTTOnaE5K2u0MTKPqvgwqsLiJ2XFo3LbkOMGZh87NotVM5pSKnxK/s1600/Electrical+moved+and+wall+evened+up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSFJAAZS1OTZxlA0r1-9Kbg95SSOs9eiMomWCLrFIEL7jOH2thjTTnpKO-5qwQtBn5CcuFBsRV7z1H_9BKBtbBUHsUXTTOnaE5K2u0MTKPqvgwqsLiJ2XFo3LbkOMGZh87NotVM5pSKnxK/s1600/Electrical+moved+and+wall+evened+up.jpg" height="640" width="404" /></a></div>
So the above picture shows everything out, and now the electrical must be moved over as well. Meanwhile as my husband is doing all this work with some of my help, I am down in the garage prepping the new vanity for its appearance. It has a few scratches and wearing here and there. So without wrecking any of its already beautiful finish. I use some steel wool & "Restor-a-Finish" on it to hide the blemishes, and shine it up. I used the steel wool to get rid of any small scratches in the already existing varnish.<br />

<br />
We need to cut a whole in the top using the template provided with the new sink we bought.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then we were needing to use an epoxy to protect the wood. So I mixed that up according to the directions, and was severely disappointed than when I was mixing it and then applying, it wasn't going on like it should. Having never used this product before, I was cursing and it had tons of brush strokes, and curing as such. I ended up having to sand down the project to try and remove the brush strokes and bubbles. Apparently this stuff does expire, as I put it back in its dusty box, and back to the store it goes. I then proceeded to use a Oil base Varnish over top to smooth it all out. Not what I wanted to do or use...but had to in order to preserve what was already done, without wrecking the top. It worked out great, and you wouldn't even know, if I hadn't just told you. <br />
<br />
Here you can see the sanded Matte look before it was varnished. So it is now ready when the rest of the bathroom wall is. So mean while back upstairs...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
First things first, after getting the electrical moved, is the drywall all replaced and mudded as well as holes cut for the lights, and plumbing. Then 3 coats of matching wall colour to finish off the demo, like it never happened.<br />
<br />
Next the Mirror can come back in & be replaced on the wall in its
new position to match up where the electrical holes are cut. Once it
has been given a significant time to adhere it was ready for its molding to be measured and nailed up around it. This is a new look we wanted to achieve instead of a boring builders mirror.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As you can see the mirror is now away from the wall, and we have our new lighting in as well. We hadn't planned on changing the fixtures, but one of the glass lights got broken inside the box when something fell on it and broke. I do however like the Vintage styled old school house lights.<br />
<br />
Once the Molding was all up around the mirror, we were now ready to bring in the vanity!!<br />
<br />
More retrofitting of the vanity had to be done such cutting out a spot for the plumbing to go though the wood back of the vanity, and then also cutting the backs of the drawers to fit the plumbing without losing all our drawer space due to plumbing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmTNMbMaMhQPJHjJtloTDDnPNMOFWvSTRQ0nmAkzWNjoOnsleXwhyphenhyphenfji0_2S0_JDum_I6lEXqWww5-e-U0JxuUFp4lVYHhDVxDtCeWSkkVljNn3YBxURIzqbnoJmEyv4_CK4vGImrFVLAo/s1600/Plumbing+done.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmTNMbMaMhQPJHjJtloTDDnPNMOFWvSTRQ0nmAkzWNjoOnsleXwhyphenhyphenfji0_2S0_JDum_I6lEXqWww5-e-U0JxuUFp4lVYHhDVxDtCeWSkkVljNn3YBxURIzqbnoJmEyv4_CK4vGImrFVLAo/s1600/Plumbing+done.jpg" height="640" width="428" /></a></div>
<br />
The first drawer will house nothing but sink & the plumbing, and only needed to use the front of the drawer fitted back on all by itself as a ficade. There is so much other storage in this vanity that this one drawer missing doesn't make a difference. More than we are used to.<br />
<br />
So without further ado, here is the final finished end result. We Love it!!<br />

So there you have it, it took a long time to get the vanity reno done, and a whole day for me to edit, write & do this blog posting. So, now I remember why I don't do this quite as often as I'd like. I could have gotten a lot of painting done on another project today in the same amount of time. LOL Oh well, all apart of what I love to do!!

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Here is a compilation of what to expect in my booth this year, along with lots of other items that I am still in the progress of creating.

<br />
Spokane, Washington is a beautiful city to visit. The downtown core is full of great shopping, great atmosphere, and great eateries. It also is the home to "Farm Chicks" Antique Show. This year was my second year attending. It is Jam packed with Vendors for every style of Vintage. Rustic, Junk, Country, Retro, Man Cave, Painted, Garden Decor & Shabby. Something for everyone.<br />
<br />
We all came home with great treasures, and memories. We walked the downtown core on the paths through the park, taking in all the scenery & atmosphere. Next year we would love to take our Cruiser bikes and do the same. The first night we ate at the Post Street Ale house & the next night at the Flour Mill, & both had great food. The Flour Mill you can eat outside on their Veranda at Clinkerdaggers overlooking the River below that is on the old railway bed. Built in 1895, and was renovated & turned into the restaurant in 1973 for the 1974 Expo.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the photos I took along the way. At the Market, there was a small amount of Booths that I had time for photos in all of the huge crowds, we battled through while shopping. I was honestly lucky & crazy to wait for no one to be in some of these photo shots because it was wall to wall trains of people. With 268 Booth spaces there was a lot to see & take in. Hurrying to pay for items you found before someone else came along & spotted them as well.<br />
<br />
We all came home with treasures we had on our lists & then some. <br />
<br />
Enjoy!!<br />

A wonderful family vacation for our little family of 4. We were gone for 10 days and spend 3 full days in Palm Springs and the rest traveling through 5 different States. After driving through Washington & Oregon we made it to Boise, Idaho and after staying the night in a hotel we were looking to eat breakfast somewhere. We drove around Boise looking for an restaurant or eatery. Rather lost in a city we have never been to my husband decided to use the "Urban Spoon" App. on his phone, so we stopped in a shopping area to use it. We decided to visit a place called "Janjou Patisserie".<br />
<br />
So many great looking, mouth watering, tarts, cheesecake, meringue, macaroons, fruit, croissants & more that we could feast our eyes on when approaching their counter. Not to mention the beautiful Barista machine for making the ultimate Cafe Mocha, and Cappucino.<br />

Not only are these works of Art, the taste was delectable, and we each ordered a Quiche with a salad on the side with a vinagrette dressing. The Quiche was the best I have ever tasted & was mouth watering with every bite. It had 2 different cheeses in it and made us want to buy the rest of the Quiche in the display case to feast on for down the road. C'est Magnifique!!!<br />
<br />
My girls ordered croissants, and cheesecake, and we not only had the Quiche, we had Fruit Tarts & Cafe Mocha, and a Cappucino.<br />

Owner & Head Artisan Moshit & her husband Chuck treated us
like friends, and family. They both said we were probably used to
eating this kind of food and drink in Cafe's in Canada, and yes we are
but not as good as this. Moshit studied at Estella in Israel and
learned from a teacher who learned everything from Le Cordon Blue,
Paris. (Yes, this is the same culinary school Julia Child attended)<br />
<br />
Chuck
gave us some advice on what to see when we got to Palm Springs because
he was from 29 Palms. It was a wonderful experience and I hope if you
live, or are in the Boise, Idaho area...you must stop in their
Patisserie. It will have you craving the flavors, just like we did. <br />

There seems to be so many different styles and colours all over in the Pinterest world. Very easy to make, and even easier when starting with a ready made tote from Michaels or Walmart. You can find different sizes, colours, and thicknesses. The great things is you can also use Stamps and create sayings or any design you want to personalize it to your own taste, or that of a friend.<br />
<br />
I decided to make this particular bag for a dear friend for her Birthday. I fell in love with it while creating it and am sure that it will be the first of many to come. I have a stack of fabrics just waiting to become stylish.<br />
<br />
Here is my take on the Ruffly Tote & a Tutorial to help you achieve the look or a similiar look. Enjoy!!<br />

Cut a piece of fabric 4" wide and 1/2 inch on either side longer than the tote for seam allowance. This will be your top band of fabric as shown in the picture above. Turn under all 4 sides & Press with a iron. Place & pin the fabric band onto the bag as shown, making sure it fits your tote to its side seams. Leaving the bottom edge free so you can place the first Ruffle's raw edge underneath. Don't sew it in place quite yet. You need to make your Ruffles first.<br />

Cut a piece of fabric for the first ruffle. 4" again, and longer than the first strip because once you gather it its much smaller. I guess on the measurement for mine, and I think I made it 1 1/2 times longer than the bag. Depends on how ruffly you want it. If you can cut all your fabrics out together this will save a bit of time and you can plan which colour you want to go, and where on your tote. Turn under & press again. Cut the corner on a diagonal to get rid of some of the bulk when sewing it. Now straight stitch your 3 side hems (sides and bottom), try and do the same process for each Ruffle as you go along. This saves you from switching back and forth between 2 different foots. As seen & explained below.<br />

If you have a Gathering foot or Ruffle foot for your machine, attach it to make the ruffles. (If not you can make them by hand. Using a loose stitch and pulling it to make it gather. Then run a straight stitch over to keep it in place and easier to work with.) Read the instruction in your owners manual on how to use your Gathering foot. Its very easy and this was the first time I had ever used mine. Basically just sew as usual and the foot does the gathering. Some machines are lucky enough to come with a Gathering foot, and some don't and you can purchase them separately for your machine. (Which sometimes can be costly) If you are doing lots of projects where a Ruffle is needed I suggest its worth it.<br />

Your Ruffles should look like this when you are done them. Hemmed on 3 sides and 1 side (top) gathered and you can leave it raw or hem it as well, it will just be a smaller ruffle than what I have made.<br />

This picture above shows the first Ruffle sewn in place underneath the top band. So now you need to place the 1st Ruffle under the folded edge of the Top Band, and pin in place. Straight stitch around all 4 edges of the Top Band, and sewing your first Ruffle into place with it. Pin back 1st Ruffle as shown, so its easier to work underneath for the next Ruffle. After that Pin your next Ruffle underneath your 1st Ruffle as shown above. Decide how much of the Second Ruffle you want to show. I pinned them about 1 inch apart.<br />

You could leave it just at 2 Ruffles, or continue to straight stitch the other 2 Ruffles on just as you did the 2nd one. If you leave it at 2 Ruffles there is room for a Fabric stamped Embellishment or a sew on Monogram.<br />

Hand sew on your Buttons over top of where the Handle joins the bag. Take your strip of Fabric and make a Fabric flower. You could make this flower bigger if you like. I've included the link to the Tutorial where I learned how to make a Fabric flower from.<br />

Sew on your Flower and any other Embellishments and you are finished. It is a beauty I fell in love with. You could carry on and do the other side if you wish. There is just so many great ways this simple tote can be beautified!! Hope this was helpful & would love your feedback. Please let me know if I left a step out or you are stumped. Enjoy this simple beauty!!<br />

Fabrics used were purchased at Hobby Lobby, USA and Fabricland, Canada.<br />
<br />
Here is the link to the Wonderful Blog I learned about through Pinterest, on how to make a Rosette. I love it and am going to become a follower of her beautiful site. You will definately love the 2 steps it take to make the flower she has. I just used Step 1 here.<br />

Around the world there was lots to shut the door to 2012 for. Not just sorrow, and heartache from a far but also close to home as well. On the other hand there was lots to be Thankful, and excited for as well. Vintage Cove had a successful year doing Markets & fairs, as well as lots of online sales. Every season filled with new ideas and some brought to life. I'm starting the New Year off with a full garage of furniture to transform and customer requests to get started on. I want to branch out, broaden those Horizons at some point this year. .Maybe start an etsy account, more markets, and more projects out the door and into new homes. One of my resolutions is to Blog more often than I currently have been, be more organized with less clutter, and start saving some projects for my home as well.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to get organized and get started. Its January now, but it won't be long and spring will be around the corner and so busy I won't know where to start.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are some photos that I missed putting onto the Blog, but they managed to make it to my Facebook Fan Page during Christmas.<br />

Summer's over, but
the fall colors are breathtaking around the Nicola Valley. Great time
for photography, working out in the yard, and bringing some of that
beauty indoors. Whether it be garden or floural harvests. We enjoyed
our Multicolored Sunflowers this season. Here are a couple photos of
some of the decor in our home this past Thanksgiving.</a><br />

In fact this is the very first time that I have ever attempted making one. So my girlfriend Amanda offered to come & learn how to make one as well. Trial and error, and a whole bucket of spoons to allow us to do that. We lucked out on our very first try at one!! Usually its quite the opposite when trying something new & learning. The next 2 we were not so lucky. So here is a full re-cap of our experience....<br />
<br />
First of all we needed to heat the spoon up to change the molecular structure of the spoon so that its easier to flatten and pound out with the hammer. This process takes a while depending on the softness of the Silver, and muscle power. I would advise some earplugs for this procedure. Our ear were wringing a little with the sound of the hammer, and cutlery jingling all over the counter. lol.<br />

The spoon tends to get fairly hot after using the Torch on it a few times to keep the temperature right for manipulation. So a bucket of cold water nearby was handy to use when the spoon was too hot to touch. When you get to the stage of bending & wrapping the bracelet to the size of your wrist, the water bath came in handy.<br />

We were working away on a spoon & unsure why it cracked. There could be many reasons why. Too Hot, not hot enough, or that this particular spoon had more Electro Plate than Silver, and it was too hard to flatten.<br />

We used the Vice to start bending the bracelet. Covered it with material, as to not make any markings on the Spoon. For the last part of the bending process, we had to take it out of the vice and do it by hand with 2 sets of pliers.<br />

The great thing about this bracelet is it could be worn either way. Spoon side up or decorative handle side up.<br />
<br />
Another idea for jewelry is pendants. After flattening the spoon, cut off the handle with a hacksaw. With a Sanding stone on my Dremel tool, I rounded the edges & got rid of any sharp edges. Then used a brush to soften the sanding stone marks. While its in the Vice Bend it to get the loop for a necklace chain. Buff it and its all ready to wear or engrave.<br />

Everytime we move it we get smarter. This last time we used my Dad's business truck, that has a crane on the back. We let it do most of the lifting, and assembling it this time was quite fast as well. We got it done before dark & all ordered Pizza to celebrate. <br />

When my girlfriends and I went on a roadtrip to Abbotsford last December for the Christmas Vintage Market, we also made a stop to a Salvage place in Cloverdale, BC. We were on a mission for ladders, and windows. As luck would have it they were having a sale, and it helps to bring cash to barter. So I couldn't resist buying my Lead pane window right then and there. I had a couple ideas of what I would use it for, but used it all this time as a decoration in our open concept dining area.<br />

Which I quite liked, but I ultimately had to use it somewhere useful.
So I decided to use it on my Gardening shed, that needed some character
and natural light inside. So my husband nicely offered to put it in for
me. I was quite surprised how fast he did it. On a Sunday
afternoon, and it was ready for me to paint before dinner. I was on the other side of the yard painting the girl's playhouse and already had the paint out. I love
projects that are fast and almost instantly gratifying.<br />

My girlfriend Amanda shared this wonderful idea with me to take empty wine bottles or beer bottles and fill them with water & stick them upside down into the dirt. You may have also seen them on Pinterest as well. They work great, even better than the glass globes that I also have. When its hot the wine bottles last longer & you don't have to keep filling them up. Wonderful plant babysitters when you are away for a couple days, & don't want to bug your neighbour to come and water for you. Also when you would rather be outside sipping on a cold one enjoying your deck & not having to water while you are out there.<br />

The more decorative and different the bottles are that you find, the better. What a cheap way to look after your plants. You've already used the contents and only costs you the deposit by keeping them.<br />

I'm back from spending a wonderful Vintage Weekend, being a Vendor in
the Scout Handmade & Vintage Market. The Ladies at Birch & Bird
Home Interiors host this Market, and do such a splendid job at it. My
girlfriend Kelley and I enjoyed ourselves immensely!! With 50 Vendors,
there was so much to choose from. The Market was full of Vintage Finds,
Painted furniture, Beautifully sewn crafts, lots of creative jewelry,
hair accessories for the young and old, tons of home decor, and
yes...Food. The cupcakes from Tracycakes were scrumptious, and the
Macarons were sinful. We had fun talking with customers, selling, and
finding much in common with everyone you spoke to. The sound of music
in the background, and the smell of coffee and old suitcases in the air,
felt so cultural. So I thought I would share all my photos from the
weekend. Hope you enjoy. Next weekend I get to do it all again. I'm
heading to Spokane to "FARM CHICKS" with a friend who had an extra early
administration ticket & invited me along with her & her
sister. How could I say NO? <br />

Which is somewhat unusual for myself. But, I assure you it has been well worth the wait. I have been busy getting ready for the Scout Handmade & Vintage Market that is taking place next weekend in Abbotsford, BC. May 25-26th. I have been putting all my focus towards this new & big day. I have been attending local Garage Sales every weekend, and have been very successful with many great Vintage Finds. (Some for myself as well) I've been busy sanding, painting, glazing, distressing, cleaning, shining, pricing, sewing, and on and on. So without further adue, here are some sneak peek photos to intrigue you and maybe convince you to make the trip to Abbotsford, for the day.<br />

So there you have it!!! Or you could, if you attend the Scout Market. I'm still busy painting more things and making more things, and pricing more things. But its all a secret. What I have shown is just a small portion of what I am actually taking to the market. So back at it for me. Hope all the Canadians's have a great Victoria Day weekend. You know what I'll be doing. ;)Vintage Cove girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17257303566346799535noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046044931447126448.post-10229920715469442282012-04-03T01:38:00.007-07:002012-04-20T00:08:31.417-07:00Recycle a Christmas Wreath for Easter<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had been wanting to make a Easter wreath I had seen on another Blog.

</tbody></table>So I proceeded to cut the fake branches away from the metal form. I'll put it aside for another Christmas project. I'm sure it could be recycled in the decorations somewhere too.<br />
Got out a roll of Burlap & Jute string, and started wrapping, weaving & making fluffy bubbly waves with the Burlap, affixing it with the Jute string here and there.<br />
<br />
I had purchased a wooden, oval craft board from Walmart for cheap, and knew I would find a use for it at some point. I decided to use it for this wreath project. I needed to drill 2 holes in it so I would be able to hang it off the wreath. Using Chalkboard Spray paint, I gave a couple coats of spray to the board. Once it was fully dry I distressed it and threaded the Jute string through the holes, and tied the ends in one knot on each side to secure it. I didn't fasten the string right to the wreath because I might want to use it once Easter was over. The great thing about this wreath is it could be seasonal, just by changing the decorations to suit the season.<br />

</tbody></table> Found a couple decorations around the house. I admit it needs a little bit more on it though. The nest needs some eggs, and a nice fabric flower or two would jazz it up a bit. So I'm going to see what else I can find in my travels to Michaels tomorrow.<br />

By the time Easter arrived I had time to do a little more decorating, and did find some decorative eggs for the wreath & make these Jute Easter eggs for this Milk glass dish.<br />

I had experienced problems with my photo and blogging computer, and had to exchange everything over to another computer to be able to carry on. So finally I'm hoping things will be back to normal...somewhat.<br />
Since my last post I am excited to say that I was chosen to attend as a Vendor, in the Scout Handmade Vintage Market in Abbotsford, BC. I've done Craft fairs before but this will the first Vintage Market that I've been a Vendor at. So I've been busy out in the garage with Sanding and Painting, and sorting what I have purchased for the Market as of yet. One of the items that I will be making for the Market are these Fabric Flowers. Made with Burlap, Fun Fabric & a button. I had seen many Tutorials on Pinterest but decided to try my own fast way.<br />

I've also been impressed with how far away my Blog has been received. My Blog has reached into homes in Japan, Germany, Australia, UK, USA, Russia, Greece and many other countries. Loving the response, & that people are reading my blog. I am however wishing for more actual followers.

For Shame!!! It needed a bit of a sanding from the mouse Sander & a really good cleaning with TSP & water. I wanted to still see the wood grain & also the silvering effect that all those years outside had done. So when sanding I left some of the Silver. I used my usual Creamy white paint and watered it down a little to achieve this see through look. I was worried that if I painted it completely that I would loose the character & it would look too new. So here are the stages of the process & 2 ways to decorate it.</a></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>The first pictures shows what the Vest looked like Before. If you look closely you can see a slight line where I cut across the Vest, to use what I needed for the pillow. The vest being shaped like a body, tapered on the sides so I machine stitched a straight line with wrong sides facing of the vest. Did the buttons up and sewed a seam following along the right side seam of the buttons. Then sewed the bottom and part of the top, leaving room to stuff the pillow once turning it back to right side out. Stuffed it and hand stitched the opening. Hand sewed on my Mother's Crocheted flowers and Voila!! This project took maybe under 2 hours from start to finish. Of course the Crocheted flowers would take much longer if doing those yourself. My Mother taught me how to Crochet a few weeks ago so eventually I'll be able to do them myself....hopefully.Vintage Cove girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17257303566346799535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046044931447126448.post-29512590582944904212012-01-20T18:07:00.000-08:002012-01-21T15:53:56.064-08:00Ice Cream Birthday PartyWell I finally have had a chance to sit down and Blog tonight. I've had lots to Blog about just not the time to do it! With New Year's resolutions one of them was to get to bed earlier, and that had drastically cut into my Blogging time. So might have to re-think that one. ;)<br />
<br />
My turning 7 year old wanted a Vintage Style Ice cream party. (Girl after my own heart) So how could I deprive her of that? December 21st was her birthday & its such a crazy time of year already with Christmas. I think a lot of the mom's loved the break from their children to do some Christmas shopping, because I received a lot of Thanks, that they were able to get so much done that afternoon.<br />
