French Farmhouse Christmas Items in the Shop, Wintersteen Farms Wreaths, and a Container Sale
Hello! Last week I listed a few of our handmade French Farmhouse Christmas items in our shop along with some vintage treasures last week......
I still have a lot of items to load to our site.... The house has been rearranged one too many times this past month for product pictures..... I wanted to share a few images of some of the items you will find in our shop.....
We make these bags using grain sacks and then paint the numbers on the bags using Martha Stewart stencils.... The girls and I had fun making the advent calendars......
We have grain sack ribbon available..... Here we cut out the stripes of a grain sack and turn it into ribbon for making bows...... It takes almost an entire grain sack to make the ribbon...
We make gift bags out of the scraps of the grain sack.... A set of 12 gift bags comes with the ribbon.
My sister, Liz made this adorable pot cover that is made from a grain sack.... We now have these available in our shop....
This year I am crazy about these little Christmas trees...... (I get my trees from The Antique Gardener.)
I tried to find as many of these vintage french zinc wash buckets as I could..... I have a few of these available in our shop.....
I love these tin frames...... My sister in law turned some antique ceiling tin tiles into frames.... I have seen ornaments hung from old windows in the past, so I thought it would be a fun idea to do with an empty tin frame.......
I will also be selling a few Christmas cards in the shop soon...... I am hoping they will arrive in the next couple of days...... A special thank you to Sara Duckett of Sadie Olive for designing the text on our cards, I love how they turned out....... Thank you Sara : )
I will be posting updates on facebook when new items are listed in the shop over the next couple of weeks.

On another note.... I recently received my Wintersteen Farms wreath in the mail...... I have been getting my wreaths from Wintersteen Farms the past three years and love their wreaths..... Their wreaths are one of my favorite gifts to give during the holidays..... Wintersteen Farms is a 36 acre noble and douglas fir tree farm. The tree farm is owned and operated by Jeff and Kelly Kansla. Jeff Kansla is my cousin.....
The wreaths are hand crafted from start to finish.
The material used to hand-craft their wreaths are cut daily to ensure freshness that will last throughout the season....
My cousin Jeff Kansla and his wife Kelly are the owners of Wintersteen Farms.... You can find out more about the Wintersteen Farms wreaths by visiting Wintersteen Farms..................

I recently shot a candy story for Souvenir Lifestyle Magazine........
I shared my three favorite recipes in the Souvenir Holiday issue......
My sisters taught me how to make candy and I shared recipes that were handed down from my sisters
I wanted to share a few images from the story....
It is one of my favorite stories I have shot for Souvenir.....
Caramels are an easy candy to make and are such a fun gift to give to someone special during the holidays..... Here I displayed them in an antique french jam pot.....
These jam pots are fun containers to put your candy in and give as gifts.....
I will be adding more of these vintage french jam pots to my site soon.
You can find the rest of my candy story and my three favorite recipes in the
Souvenir Lifestyle Magazine.
It is available digitally on the Souvenir website.....
