Finally ....they are here ...Our Farmhouse Romance "The Vintage Girl" Aprons And Totes ...

Honestly ..sitting down at the computer to offer my items has become so hard for me ..I am so into creating as of late ..that the hours spent taking pictures and listing an item cut into that time ...so I tend to put it off ..

But No longer ...This morning I got myself in Gear and Got some Listed ...

*****************************

I know I have mentioned our aprons in past posts that we offer at our shows ...but I haven't shared with you that we are now offering "Vintage Girl" Totes ...They have been a work in progress ...

So 1st up is our newest offering ..Our 1st Tote .."Ruffled White" ... Seven Layers of white Ruffles ..double pocket on the outside and the cutest vintage lining ever !!!

You can find out more about this tote ...by visiting our ETSY STORE ...

*****************************

Next up ...just finished this one this week ..the matching "Ruffled White" Vintage Girl Apron ...Seven Layers of yummy white Ruffles 2 deep pockets ..Perfect outerwear over your capri's !!!

This Apron is one of my FAV'S ...."Strawberry Party " ...one of my favorite vintage linens I found throught the years ..with Embroidered strawberries is front and center ...makes me feel like tip toeing through the strawberry patch with a big basket ...

The "Sweet Retweet" ...Layers of Vintage Lace and linens ...positively scrumptious ..Vintage bird and bird cage images peeking out the right side .. ...hop on over to our ETSY SHOP for more about this apron ...and the others....

Meet "Farm Girl in Burlap" ...a fun design ..for those that don't want it too fussy ..but still want that feminine touch !! .. 3 deep pockets ..Beautiful aqua and tan strip rosettes ..and vintage eyelet ....

All of our Aprons and Totes are Custom Designs ...sometimes People don't understand the wording Custom Design ..and it actually has alot of meaning to us.

Each of our pieces is "NOT" made for a pattern you just run down to the store and grab. Mind you following a pattern can be tricky enough ..but each apron and tote we make ...we design as we go..ensuring that the vintage laces, and fabrics, and linens we use fit just right and look beautiful too.

Any one piece can take between 4 and 6 hours to create from start to finish ...yes it's rather time consuming but we do love our work ..and you can be sure that the piece you receive is full of Love ...!!!

We Hope you enjoy our aprons and totes ..there will be more to come ..we try to work on them everyday ..especially with 2 shows ahead of us ..we have alot of work to keep up with ...

Wising you all happy days ..full of Sunshine Dreams ..!!!

Blessings ...Sara

Spring Time and Going back in Time

It's been an interesting week here at Sweet Magnolias Farm ....

This week Abbey and I have been a bit out in left field ...unable to get really creative in making things ..we opted to work on some different things ..

One was changing the backdrop for our pictures ..and trying to go a bit lighter ..we hope you will enojoy our new look in photos.

The other was digging in some old boxes we've been carrying around for 15 years ..clear back from the days we live in MO ...

We had a few boxes full of vintage linens that we aquired at a farm sale ..Yep 15 yrs ago and had all the best intentions of getting to them but never did ..so this week Abb went through and pulled out some cute aprons and other linens ..washed them and ironed them ..and below are just a few that we have listed either on our website or Etsy this week.

(the 2 aprons above are listed on our website)

OH ..I had to share this great cannister set with you ..found this recently and loved the look of it ..was going to do something creative with them ..then changed my mind as they are great just as they are..so they are now being offered in our Etsy Shop.

And These Two Pretty Pink Sweeties aren't they just lovely ..so perfectly springy and with Easter on it's way ..they would be just charming to hostess in. We've added these 2 to our Etsy shoppe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More Great finds to come ...so stay tuned ...you never know what Abbey and I will be up to ..rather it's hitting some of our favorite haunts for new finds to offer or just digging in some old stashed boxes ...finding treasure right here in the farmhouse.

Farmhouse Apron available on Etsy...

Rolling out the next available item ....

Our Farmhouse Apron ...

Abby made this wonderful farmhouse Apron from reproduction black and brown print civil war calico..and embellished it with a pocket made from an antique doily and vintage buttons ..along with an eyelet trim at the bottom...

It's perfect for wearing or displaying whichever you prefer ..it's been pre-washed and fits up to z size 16 ..so if you are on the smaller side it will wrap around the back and if you are nearer the 16 ..it will fall beautifully to the side of your hips and legs.

This Weeks Estate Sale Finds

Well ...we're at it once again ...I swore off buying anymore stuff ...but you know how that goes ..

So the toaster oven is on the brink and Abb and I would really like to have a food processor ...so I get this e-mail for an estate sale on Friday ..and on the table in the picture there sits a toaster oven and a food processor .....awesome ! Well this Estate sale worked a bit differently being that it was in a gated community ..they couldn't actually have a sale so they let people in by appt. Well of course I forgot to call the first day they made appts until the late afternoon ..yet I was still excited to know we were getting in at 10:00 a.m. I figured everyone else would be there for the antiques ...so I was pretty sure we were safe in getting these 2 little treasures we were after . I think I even said to Abb ..now we are going for the appliances and nothing else ..go there get the appliances and we come home !!! She Aha'd me ...Yep I know what that means ..it's a we'll see when we get there kind of answer . However I was quite sure of myself ..I had control ...and I was going to be in and out of this sale in no time flat ..get the goods and get out !

Ha ha ha ha on me !!! ..Well we got there headed for the garage where these jewels we came for were supposed to be and lo and behold they weren't there ...so we inquired and sure enough some other soul must have been in need of the same 2 things ..because they bought them at their earlier appt. So now that we had that squared away ..Wait where was Abb ...Gone to the wind ..blown to and fro from room to room "just looking" ..

So I go in search of her ..and my eye catches these two little baggies with some sorta linen inside them that's looking real cute ..and a sticker on each of them that reads $1- ...."Here is where my meltdown began" ...I hate $1- ...that's the price I just can't seem to pass up ...the thought " Only a $1-" plagued my mind ...so by this time ..I'm already digging into the packages and opening them to see what great treasure is inside ...and each held an old apron from the 1920's-30's ...that were just so darn sweet ...Now who could pass those up ...?? O.k. 2 bucks I'm thinking that's not bad at all ...I can handle that it's only a couple things ..

Well here comes Abb ...with the darn cutest cook book ...I'm a sucker for old cookbooks and this one ...well you'll see below it's way cute ..."SOLD" to the gal who wasn't buying anything ..LOL !!

O.k. Lets' just say ..we left the sale an hour and a half after arriving and and about $30- sucked from the grasp of my hands ...

We came home ..and all the way I was thinking how weak I am .....I collapsed under the pressure of a $1- sign ... (which I got over rather quickly) ...

So you're thinking well that's not bad ...so was I ...Until this morning ..I roll out of bed come down stairs to find Abb bright eyed and bushy tailed ...telling me she was achy ..and going for a walk just didn't help with these kind of aches ..maybe we could go out saleing and the getting up and down and in and out of the truck would loosen her joints up ...I know too funny Hah !!! Yep I'm a good daughter and I took her ...and once again I crashed and burned ..gave in... was taken hostage... and crumbled like a fluffy cupcake ...Today I came home with a collection of old glass bottles ..and an old potato basket ...( I am so way weak !)

I'm sure you're saying so what about the processor and the toaster ...Nope didn't find em again today ...it just wasn't our time ..it just wasn't in the cards.... but 2 vintage aprons ..an antique cook book ..a collection of antique bottles and an old potato basket were ...LOL !!!

I'm just a softy what can I say ...I'm a treasure tramp ..dumpster diving, estate saleing, flea marketing, junkie FOOL !!!

So Now for your enjoyment ..a preview of my finds ...and just so you know if you ever see something you want just let me know ..I'll let you know how much and you can say yeah or neah !!!

You're Kindred Friend ..Sara
