Fall is Here!

The sweetest witch you will ever meet! How bad can you be on a pink broom?

New Scrapbook Cover for my Vintage Halloween 6 x 6 scrapbook, a few peeks at all the goodies
you will find inside!

Embrace your inner witch with the "Witchy" Hat perfect for wearing to your fall parties or to use as a centerpiece on your fall table.

New charm with a gothic, grungy edge! I loved working with the altered doll head and vintage black lace.

A dainty, lady like witch!

Pumpkin Princess hat, just right for the Jr. witch or as a decoration.

Fall is finally here and I have been enjoying working in a darker tones, I love living in my pink world but this time of year you get to be a little edgy! I don't usually get to work with altered doll parts, or so much black. It is fun letting my creative juices go into a different direction and create new items like the Halloween inspired soldered charms. I usually work with vintage baby, children's themes and the occassional wedding. My house has been getting spruced up this week as well. I took down my cheery banner with polka dots, pink and mint and in its place went up a banner in true Halloween fashion. I created one with orange and white polka dot paper, vintage sheet music and black strung up on vintage black seam binding in the classic triangle shape. My breakfast nook even got new curtains! I picked up some orange and white polka dot fabric and hung up in my five windows then topped them off with black, orange crepe paper fringe. Our table was treated to a white lace runner atop black fabric and added some vintage Halloween party hats, and nut cups. Just as soon as I started admiring it and feeling accomplished my son reminded that Christmas will soon be here and wanted to know when I would start decorating for that! I am just going to enjoy the season and creating my new goodies! I hope you enjoy the picture of little Priya being a witch! We had to laugh with the pink broom and all! It is fitting for her, such a girly girl!

Halloween Projects

I have been away tooo long my blog friends! I hope you did not give up and forget about me, rest assured I have been thinking of you! I have been traveling and busy with the new bedding line. I am in the process of working on my business plan and trying to find Angel investors who would be a good match for Silver Spoon Scraps. The business side of my job isn't so much fun so I have tried to take a few breaks by creating some new Halloween goodies and of course fueling up with ice cream. Ice cream is an essential component to writing a well rounded business plan I am told. Feel free to do your own research.

I love this time of year when the air has a slight nip, the leaves begin to turn and the stores are filled with spooky treats. Don't forget the overload of fall festivals to enjoy! My family loves getting out and sampling the fares. I have never met a caramel apple I didn't like or a fried pastry of any kind.

Why does this post seem to have a food theme? I guess fall brings out the baker/taster in me. My town will host two festivals this month and the kiddos are thrilled. Last weekend we did the Kentucky Heritage festival where there were FAB local artist and a grand opening of the Art Sanctuary. I think I will try and set up next year. We will also attend the fall festival next weekend where I hope to find some pumpkins for fall decorating. I love buying local and supporting our farmers who work so hard.

I will sign off with a few photos of my Halloween creations, I hope to offer more in the next few weeks so check the website! First up is a Halloween paper crown that features a vintage cat from my Victorian scap pile. I am also sharing my witchy hat that has the spookiest photo of some kiddos lookin' kind of creepy! I have embellished with vintage millinery, lots of glittery crepe paper and a vintage "Halloween" scrap, Both are available for sell on the site or my etsy. You may also email for custom Halloween treats sitanr@insightbb.com

Happy creating/baking/tasting to each of you!
