Here's the hippie again. . .

One day a dear friend handed me these "shreds" of fabric and said "I'm certain you will put this to good use."  Immediately I thought "garbage can" but when I examined the shreds further I realized they were the remains of an old hippie vest from the 1960's.  The vest originally had 2 crewl owl appliques and I could see "pillow" using the owls.
The first pillow sold immediately at the antique shop to a Chi Omega Sorority girl--owls are the mascot of the Chi O's and those girls are crazy over owls!  I decided to offer the last pillow on etsy.  The owl applique was carefully cut from the old vest and then stitch on a vintage style toile fabric.  The pillow is ready now to decorate your loft apartment, rustic cabin or your home.

Georgia Bulldog

Vintage concrete Georgia Bulldog--what a find!

He was missing an ear when I found him, but a little repair job made him almost as good as new. In spite of the fact the shop is located in Alabama, deep in Auburn (and University of Alabama) territory, the Bulldog was quickly snapped up and carried off to Atlanta. He now graces the garden somewhere in UGA territory!

Check back with me again--you never can tell what I might find and I'm always searching for vintage garden items!
