Vintage Christmas Saturday - Yarn Wrapped Cutlery & Pine Cones

Christmas is well an truly on its way... are we already exhausted by the crazy lead up???
I've just finished the last of my gift shopping settling on a voucher for my nephew Hamish, a poor effort on my behalf, but when I asked him what he would like the list involved lots of high end pieces of technology none of which were under $300 so a voucher worth a sixth of that should do the rosey cheeked 9 year old nicely ;-)!!!.


 Last week we set up Mum and Dad's tree and while we were unpacking various boxes I stumbled across this fabulous vintage tablecloth... when I asked Mum where and when she got it she said "This old thing who knows, just take it" and so I did!. 



Apologies for not ironing first!


Inspired by pinterest I yarn wrapped some cutlery and placed some double sided tape on the under side to keep in place.


Adam and I found ourselves in the Fitzroy Gardens this week and I was lucky enough to find some pine cones lying around... I then took to them with yarn!.


Enjoy the next few days
 Happy Holidays to all!!!

    1. OMG I know right! Let's refer to the 600 felt balls I bought not long ago and conclude that I have a slightly obsessive personality to say the least!!! Too funny Allison :).
      I so hope you find your vintage table cloth, I have another I cannot find anywhere as well, no doubt they are together having a party in the back of one of our linen cupboards!. Wishing you and your beautiful family a wonderful Christmas, thanks for making me laugh out loud and melt over your thrifted treasure!.
      Off to my brother and his hubby's for festive drinks tonight so the fun has already began!. Happy New Year and here's to making it thriftier and craftier then ever before!. xx Tina

  6. That's a great tablecloth, looks like some my grandma had from her European travels in the '70's. It looks like it could be Scandinavian to me, or at least Scandi-inspired (the nerd in me thinks that's a Lapland costume on the dude, maybe?). Love all your crafty creations! Merry Christmas!
