Happy Wednesday, Friends! I've been busy as a bee crafting handmade gifts for the holidays. I know many of you enjoy giving handmade gifts, whether you shop for that special something or make it yourself, so today I'm sharing my latest creations.

I love the ornate, almost lace-like rims of these vintage milk glass plates and thought they would be charming stenciled whether displayed individually or added to a gallery wall. Available

I shared my first repurposed vintage hanger for herb drying earlier this year. It's been popular, so I decided to offer a slightly different version. This one is chalk painted and stenciled farm fresh. Available

I used quite a bit of tulle for Christmas decorating last year and have been wanting to try my hand at a wreath. After scoring a bolt of tulle at a thrift store, I was ready to get busy. I added another recent find, this fun pom-pom garland that makes me think of sparkly snowballs. This pure white tulle wreath with just a little sparkle would make a lovely wedding decoration or the perfect winter wonderland holiday wreath. Available

You know my fondness for vintage jello molds and I held onto these stars for awhile until I was inspired to get crafty when I found some wonderful antique quilt scraps at a yard sale a few months ago. The star shaped molds provide the perfect frame for the lovely time worn pieces creating a rustic farmhouse style ornament that I purposely kept simple so that it could be displayed any time during the year. There are five Available
