Think I'll Put................................

....................................a little 'light' on the subject, that I love to talk about.........................................
Reusing, Redoing, Recreating vintage textiles and finds into special keepsakes for my Brown Gingham Creations. I have a whole line I've created called Angelic Lights. I find vintage dolls from the 1930's to the 50's, usually, that need some tlc and recreate them into charming nightlights.

 This is Rosa She was a 1960's spun acrylic dresser lamp. Her skirt was created from a 1940's hand-tatted doily, as well as the hat and parasol embellishments, and a 1940's hankie I hand-embroidered. She found a home right away. Her two sisters................................................................................

Sunny and

Daisy, both created in vintage embellished textiles, Sunny's wings are created with vintage lace ribbon, while Daisy's a vintage quilted coaster. Both are ready to go to their new home. They are available at $49.99

This next Angelic Light is a votive...............................

Lovey is originally from the 1940's and she sports her original hand-crocheted slip that I used as pinafore over top of a 1930's hankie I hand-embroidered and embellished with brown Sworovski Crystals. The crystals also created her choker and she holds a copper charm that reads 'LOVE'.  Her wings were created by repurposing a vintage net and velvet flower hat. She sits atop a vintage Amber glass lamp shade which covers a battery powered candlelite votive. She too has found a loving home.

My favorite  Angelic Light is ..................................

'Lacey Rose' as I've named her. I found her and her Sisters (1952 little ladies) in a cold glass display care without a stitch on and bald! I knew immediately I had to bring them home and help them. Now Lacey  was given flowing long black tresses. Her dress (the lampshade) was created using tulle, black lace edging, hand-painted pink rose and tulle rick-rack, a 1940's hankie I hand-embroidered, and a hand-tatted vintage doily.

The wings are a Battenberg lace heart. Her crown and garland she holds is the same rick-rack. I placed a candle lamp into a vase as the 'votive' holder, which is surrounded by an Ivy wreath I accented with matching paper and porelain roses.Sh is actually 3 peices. Lacey Rose is also available for $69.99

I so enjoy creating these 'flights of fancy',  each has her own personality when finished. And I do love the fun of finding all the vintage components that create my Angelic Lights.
