A little help for the tooth fairy.

April 22, 2013

I found this awesome vintage inspired nursery rhyme fabric at Mary Jo’s Cloth Store in Gastonia, NC.

I cut the yard of fabric into rectangles around each nursery rhyme.

Added a little pocket on each pillow to make it easier for the tooth fairy when she is searching for that little tooth in the middle of the night!

A little stuffing!

The tooth fairy has been super busy at out house lately!

You can find these tooth fairy pillows at Sanctuary of Davidson and also in my new space at 32 Flavors Boutique’s new location in Charlotte, NC. Can’t wait to share more details about that this week!

Hope you have a beautiful, inspiring Monday! xoxoxo Angela

A $5.00, 5 minute pillow redo!

April 18, 2013

My husband says I should make it a rule not to buy pillows from thrifts stores. As far as he is concerned you shouldn’t buy anything from a thrift store. Silly man. Luckily this is where we Do NOT agree. I found this pillow at Value Village Thrift Store for 2.99! It was brand new with the tags still on!!! And guess what!?! I bought it.

Tracy and I went to Metrolina Flea market and Antique Show a couple of months ago where I scored 3 of these burlap flowers for a couple of dollars each.

Crazy girls!

I loved these handmade flowers and as someone who loves to sew, I could only imagine the amount of time that went into each petal. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the lace around the center, so I took some scissors and got rid of it.

Enter hot glue station.
