Etsy Love: Totally Obsessed with Felt

I've been working on a few Christmas projects using felt and I'm totally obsessed.  It's easy to work with, comes in such fun colors, and the texture is so yummy in this cold winter weather.  Here are a few Etsy finds with felt that I'm loving:

Two Egg Cup Pincushions from rosekepler

Red Rose Necklace from Crafts2Cherish

This super adorable needle felted owl from chocolatebean

Felt can be sophisticated, check out this cluster necklace from ciaoNINA.

Felt sushi take out set by Tatestastees

Apple Slice Necklace by thefeltedpair.  So cute!

And my personal favorite the Starlette Crown from Giant Dwarf

 Hope you had fun looking at all these lovely goodies, I know I did.

To Grandmother's House We Go

Happy Monday lovelies, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and if you're reading this I'm happy that you've found me in my new location.  I've already had such positive feedback, so keep it coming!

My grandparents recently moved to a retirement home, and had to get rid of a lot of things.  As someone sentimental, and also with a love of antiques and vintage I took much more than was probably necessary, and have now started populating my home with these items.

Books with titles like "I Dare You" and "Robert's Rules of Order", plus some quirky cast iron German Shepherd book ends.

An owl statue (my grandmother collects them) and a pair of antique binoculars.

 Antique silver spoons, forks, and slices, some dating back before the 1900's.  I sat down with my grandmother and she told me the story behind each one.  The one with the stars cut out is my favorite.

Set of Illustrated Medical Encyclopedias, and an old print.  I used to live this picture when it was hanging in my grandparent's house.  

What's the coolest antique that you've ever gotten from a relative?
