Wild & Crafty

Every once in a while I go on inspired tangents. The ideas start flowing and I usually dabble in them here and there. It is a positive process for the most part. However, the problem with crafty inspiration is that it leads to spending way more money than planned for scattered results.



Not this time, my friends!

I have had an orange book full of vintage dog stamps for a long time now. I always thought it belonged to my Great Grandpa Lemon, being that he was a hunting enthusiast with stuffed pheasants in his guest room (gave me the willies when I was a kid). Come to find out, it actually belonged to my Mom. She would collect stamps when going to auctions and such with my Grandpa Bob. A lot of the stamps are bird dogs. I happened to look through it the one day and found a Flat Coated Retriever! This breed of dog is not common, and my Mom has 3 of them. I thought I would make her a surprise and framed it up with some paper accents. She loved it of course!  


I wanted to do more.

August 21st, 2016 is the Dog Days of Summer Event at Schulze Winery. I will be a vendor for the first time this year. The event runs from 1:00pm-5:00pm and is open to everyone and their dog furbabies.

I have been a crafting fiend for a couple of weeks now. I thought I would share a sneak peak of my vintage stamp treasures.  


I plan on selling them for $12.00 each. They are 4x6 inches and in a basic black frame. Miniatures, and small art seem to be popular these days and may be what you need to finish a mantel or enhance a book shelf. If you like what you see know there is more where these came from and you can visit me at the winery on the 21st!

This one is personal favorite, a Britney Spaniel!


Stay tuned for more vintage fun. I hope to see you August 21st at Schulze!
