Sharing with you today a few pictures taken around my home early on Christmas eve. My vintage deer and some other decorations I have collected through the years are peeping out from the branches of the Christmas tree and vignettes around the house. I hope you enjoy them!

New Obsession - Handmade Cold Process Soap MakingI'm studying, watching youtubes made by expert CP soap makers ,like Eden's Secrets, Royal Soaps, La Fille de la Mer (Ariane Arsenault), The Soap Queen of Brambleberry Soap Supplies. Here are my two batches I made during Christmas. The pink/green one is made with micah colorants and Winter Snowflake fragrance oil. The dark one is colored with charcoal, gold and red micahs and fragranced with Turkish Mocha. I am so pleased with the way they turned out except for the bubbling on the outside of the green/pink - which I planed off after cutting. It was caused from placing in the warm oven for awhile afterward in the silicone mold - which is a tight fit and allows no air circulation. I did learn from that and thank the Soap Maker's Forum for all their advice and help in fixing it. I will avoid that problem in the future.

The last few pictures are of lotion bars, bath melts and the latest cold process soap, a terra cotta swirl and heart shaped bars of the same terra cotta.

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>It's that time of year again when the air turns crisp, frost appears overnight and you might need a little warming up in the afternoon. Perfect time for a cup of tea. I like to make mine using the Keurig coffee maker, water only over loose or single bag tea. My chosen tea is from Teavana or Bigelow Teas. Green or Black leaves, spicy, citrus blends are my favorite. I love to smell the leaves at Teavana before purchasing. Camomile is also nice and relaxing. Fruity blends will wake you up and seem like you are eating a snack with honey and lemon added. Try some tea to warm you up this time of year!</i></span><br />

A great place to find really chippy, old, unusual, big, turn of the century, 1930's furniture. Go with at least $300.00 and expect of fall in love with at least 10 things! You will probably have to do some cleaning up, repairing, possibly painting before you can take it inside your home. I love the whole place. These pictures are mostly from their warehouse at the end of the warehouse complex. Inside the actual store is the beautiful refurbished, repaired furniture- showroom. They are a wonderful source!
Enjoy the pictures and visit when you can!

I've been busy creating some new slip dresses from my fabric and garment collection from thrifting and shopping. I'm very excited about the texture on the silk charmeuse turquoise slip - the zig zag stitch was so much fun - and I really did zig zag across the surface of the entire slip. I created ruffles from scraps I cut from the bottom of the slip - attached them to the neckline.
There is a black lace bolero to go over the dress - to be sold together. It is almost finished - maybe tomorrow!
This outfit will be listed on Etsy tomorrow. My shop, of course is Vintage Halls.Denise Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01833787766191597572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6148484847970103508.post-80862639447638096362013-01-10T05:26:00.000-08:002013-01-10T05:29:49.674-08:00Welcome everyone!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
