Sweet Vintage Wool Bootie

Check out my Ebay for this little sweet bootie


I found a pair of these adorable little wool booties. The vintage colors are soft pink and off white.I wanted to keep the integrate of the color and age, so I carefully dyed the wool for bird to give it just a hint of vintage. I also dyed the wool for the flowers around the pin cushion. The ric rac is a vintage piece. I laced the bootie up with silk ribbon that I also dyed. I made a little hang tag. I made the glitter pins blue to go with the original blue flowers on the top.

If you are interested in this little tin container, I will be giving it away on Monday. It would be so cute to fill with candy kisses and write "MOM" on it. Or a put a little glass jar in it, and put flowers in it.You need to leave me a comment. Have a great weekend!

    These are adorable! We have been checking to see if there are special applications for alkyd vs acrylic chalkboard paint, but haven't found out anything yet! Thanks for asking, and we will keep looking! Have a blessed Sunday!

    OMG! The wool booties are adorable! I'm not sure I've ever seen a pair before. Of course, after you added your creative touches they were even more so.
