I Made it to the Front Page of Etsy!

 One of my plush Dachshunds made it to the front page of Etsy on February 13th! The featured treasury had a gorgeous collection of Valentine's Day goodies, and was created by Lavandulasart. It's the first time anything from my store, crashandcarry, has been featured on Etsy!

The puppy that appeared on the cover of Etsy is  Pinkie, and she's made of a vintage linen cotton blend upholstery fabric with a gorgeous hand screened Victorian fan pattern in beiges and pinks :) You can see Pinky's Etsy listing by clicking this link. Go take a peek!  It really was an incredible thrill to find out my item was on the cover of Etsy, and I'm hoping it will happen again someday! Thanks so much to Lavandulasart for creating such an eye catching treasury!

Buttons, Buttons Everywhere, but Not a Drop to...

Oh Dear Deer! 

A new pillow! This one was a long time in the making, as many of my pillows are.  I started these about 12 years ago, when I had intentions of making them into zippered pouches entirely covered in buttons, glass beads, sequins, paillettes, crystals and pearls. WITH a boarder of faux pearls... And with all that hand sewn on, boy are they heavy! So why not make pillows out of them instead?

I'm really into the woodland creatures movement that's so popular in home decor lately. I added a lovely antlered buck head to the center of the vintage natural slubby silk for added pop. Not that the fabric needed any extra pop, since it has lots of silver lurex strands running through it!  

I plan on making a few more pillows like this one in the future- and maybe using colored thread for more interest. If you would like to see a few more pictures of this deer pillow, please take a peek at my Etsy listing! It goes perfectly with the deer pillows in the Woodland Creatures section of my Etsy store, so take a look there to complete the look!
