Faerie Sewing kiTs...

I have 3 Faerie Sewing kiTs...Waiting to be purchased for your sewing needs.




In the first one I put old time looking paper in the bottom. I thought it fit the look of the Antique tin. The tin is from Holland. It is very old...The 2nd tin is made in Holland too. I believe around the Same age.. I wonder what was stored in these? Maybe cookies or chocolate? They are both very beautiful..
The Faerie KiTs include:
1. Scissors
2. Seam Ripper
3. Threader for Needle
4. 24 Spools of Thread
5. Hand Made Pin Cushion
6. 2 Tape Measures
7. Safety Pins
8. Straight Pins
9. Buttons
10. Thimble ( please put this up after use, faeries like to take this and bath in them...)

This is the front of the first tin..
The colors are so vibrant on this tin.



This is the whole tin and it measures 8 inches wide and is 2 1/2 inches tall.






This is the paper I have in the bottom of the 2nd tin. It reminded me of old fashioned wallpaper..









Each tin has a handmade heart pin cushion...





This is the front of the 2nd tin. It looks like a mosaic, doesn't it?









This is the whole tin. It measures 8 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches tall like the first one.








This paper is so amazing looking in person.. I put it in the bottom of the 3rd tin because of the roses.






When I was little I use to make sewing tins for my dolls. Little miniature ones. Taking all sorts of things and using them as containers to hold needles and thread my Mother had given me after she had cleaned out her sewing boxes.





My favorite thing was making the pin cushions..




I put safety pins, straight pins, buttons, and a thimble in little bags for these tins..















This is the 3rd tin. A big yellow Peace Rose on the front. We need more peace don't we? It measure 8 inches wide and 2 1/4 inches tall.
When I look at this tin it calms me ..
I hope it will do the same for you.
I have so many more things I am working on and plan on posting more stuff in a few days....
The price of the tins are 25.00 each I am going to the post office today to figure out shipping.
I will post that as soon as I figure it out. I am so new at this I hope everyone will Patience with me.
I wil be posting these on my Etsy Shop in a few days..

I was going to get my new stuff posted on Etsy today but ended up doing a bunch of other stuff. I will get it on by tomorrow evening.

I did have a good day today. I watched Phantom of the Opera with a good friend this evening. It was awesome. The visuals in that movie are spectacular. I loved it!

I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

I created an Esy account that matches my new site. I thought it would be easier to remember this name. Except the new shop is 1,001 faerie wishes.

The old site is on permanet vacation.

I am learning how to shrink pictures for banners on Etsy, but this one didn't make it all on the banner. I will have to work out the bugs. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

I will have new stuff to list by Saturday.

I am looking forward to posting new things.

I started Red Tin Heart Creations to show my work. But I accidentally started it under my Red Tin Heart blog.

And of course, it shows that site to everyone. I really didn't want my sister-in-laws privy to that site. They are privy to too much in my life already.

I feel silly because of having to start over , but I really love the name of this blog so much better than Red Tin Heart Creations. Elizabeth helped me pick it out..Sweet girl that she is.

The name of this site has already inspired me to create.. Thank you all for hanging in with me through the tough times.

I am making a wish that life will be easier . I hope that wish comes true...
