Thanksgiving leftovers

I'm getting all the Thanksgiving decor ready to put away so the Christmas decorating tornado can commence, but wanted to show you this before it disappears into a box for another year. I initially started this collage to put in my etsy shop, but 1) I took too long to make it so couldn't get it listed in time and 2) I fear I might like it too much to let it go!

I've said it before, but these bits & pieces collages are SO much fun to make. I love having a way to use up all the precious little treasures I've collected, and a 3"x3" square is a whole lot less intimidating to fill, even if there are a dozen of them to do. I think this is my 5th bits & pieces collage, and it certainly won't be my last.

Hope you're all enjoying the weekend. I'm going to try to get the house cleaned up today so I can start bringing up the Christmas boxes. I can't wait to get a look at all of my vintage Christmas pretties again!

  1. I love your collage - it is very sweet. I've spent most of the afternoon sitting in the floor saying, "I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!" as I pulled out my treasures. I have done a lot of Christmas swaps, plus my crazy thrift store bulk bying, so there is plenty of "new" old stuff to find!

    Hope your life is getting back to *normal* after last week!

  2. The collage is great! It's given me an idea, I have an old printer's drawer that I've been trying to figure out where/how to use and I think maybe I'll use it with seasonal things that I can change with the seasons.

  5. Heidi-I love your Thanksgiving collage! We all should keep a bit of what we make--I know I sometimes regret selling some of the pieces I make..lol Or rather, I wish I would have kept it for a bit longer to at least appreciate for a while before it moved on to its new home. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
