Welcome! Today my blog is the stop on the Wee Wonderfuls book tour. Thanks for stopping by.
A few years ago when I was just first discovering craft blogs and friend told me to check out Wee Wonderfuls. Hillary's blog was one of the blogs that inspired me to start my own. Her vintage inspiration is what got me hooked.
Her new book is so super cute. The projects are just amazing - you're going to want to make them for yourself and to give as gifts. I just love the photography and the way the projects and propped (of course with lots of cool vintage stuff) and styled.
I just love how Hillary uses vintage fabrics in many of her projects. There's something about the way she uses the fabrics that make everything that much more personal and special - that way the dolls become something that you are going to want to hold on to and cherish for years.
I "sat down" with Hillary and asked her a few questions:
C: What era most inspires you?
H: 70s
C: Might this be based on family memories?
H: You betcha!
C: What vintage things do you collect?
H: Books, toys, fabric, furniture, and holiday decor.
C: Where are your favorite spots to find vintage things?
H: Garage sales and I love armchair garage saling on ebay
C: How does vintage inspire your work?
H: The colors, the styles, the sweet little faces, the myth of a simplier life :)
Thanks Hillary!
