New Alice Book with cup and spoon

Here is a lovely, enchanted Alice book that I have just revamped.  It was an item that hadn't sold so I took a good look at it and decided it needed some changes (easily accomplished since I completed this book over a year ago and my techniques are always changing). 

I had a lovely old teacup and silver spoon I wanted to add to it.  The multi-color organza ribbons spill out of the cup and you can see the aged button sign that says "we're all mad here", along with some small paper flowers and the rabbit's watch.  Don't be late for tea!


The teacup is vintage and english. 
I've been playing around with different types of flowers lately.  These are fabric flowers I've embellished with buttons. 

Here are a couple more flowers made from vintage fabrics and buttons. 

The story pages are from a vintage Little Golden Book. 





This book is already spoken for! But thanks for letting me share it.  You are welcome to email me for a similar item.

Harry Potter Spell Book Potions 101


The spellbooks have certainly become more detailed this year!  I've been wanting to try a Harry Potter themed book for awhile and finally got the chance to do it.  This particular book is for sale at Grace's Place in Paw Paw and comes with a magic wand!  Have you recieved your Hogwart's letter yet?


 This book comes with various potions and "specimans"









Love the Chinese Chomping Cabbage!




The book contains 4 potion recipes:  Polyjuice, Amortentia, Shrinking Potion, Growing Potion

Here's a view of the back of the book.



I love how this book aged, look at those pages!
