Canvas Journals...

The feeders were bustling with tweets n' chatter...
Storms were coming and our feathered friends were filling their tummies!

I purchased two little canvas books from

Jane Eileen's Etsy store  over one month ago~

I knew if I stared at them long enough... an idea would come!

I hand-stitched (my fancy talent) the bias ribbon along the cut edge.

The books are filled with vintage 'things' and feathers!

I drew sweet portraits of my feathered friends perched about~
They walk along our brick window ledges.
Peeking in~

It's getting to be acorn time...

One can never have too many shells, pebbles or acorns!

Each photograph shows the treasures that come with the book...

I wanted to start stitching buttons to every page...

Glue some stamps in...

Tack in a few antique tintypes...

Then I remembered~

I'm not keeping them for myself!

These two treasures will be in my Etsy store in a few minutes...

I hope someone will enjoy adding collections to the pages~

I almost gathered the courage to cross stitch little ribbon patterns

from one of my 1850's pattern books~
Perhaps next time!

I'm off to play with wool~

Two very special gifts for a super sweet friend!

Hope you have a fantastic evening!
