http://lbratina.blogspot.com/2010/03/thrifty-thursday-56-plus-tablescape.html for thrifty Thursday. Thank you so much ladies, these are two of my favorites! I found this pretty vintage silver sugar bowl at my local thrift store. Can you believe it was only $2.92, plus 25% off? SCORE!! Please click on any picture to enlarge.
I decided I would make a vintage style pincushion out of it with some of my ribbon roses. The larger ribbon was made with a silky shiny ribbon. Very pretty and delicate with a shine to it, but hard to work with because it's so slippery. The other was made with a satin ribbon. I used vintage buttons, and a snippet of old lace, and just hot glued it on.
I love how it turned out, and I already had the ribbon, and buttons on hand. I was going to sell it on e-bay, but I think I might keep it! thanks for coming by to visit, and please visit the other participants for more vintage goodies, and thrifty finds!

Hey Debbie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! :) Luan is a very thin piece of wood like plywood. (It's thin like masonite, but it's more like wood)
I found my background at backgrounds by Tenille. You can go to my blog and click on the thing that says Tenille in the upper left hand corner and it should take you there. I like your background though, I wouldn't change a thing! :)
Have a great day!
You found a real little treasure and now it's a gorgeous pincushion.. ooo,I want one. It's so sweet and pretty. Happy VTT..
