Of course my Fiber Friends contribute their items as well. We have all natural, super soft wool scarves, face scrubbies, warm cowls, felted purses, potholders, "Guest" towels, Potpourri and more.
My mother made the Victorian lady potholders which I just love. I machine embroidered some red work towels.
Here I have some nice washcloths and my glycerin soaps (see larger photo below) and the finished Princess Coat that is way too large for Cara Isabella. I also hand crocheted some lavendar scented sachets.
Home made potpourri! I use flowers that were left behind by guests, hang them up quick to dry, snip them and spray a nice, gentle scent on the mix. Put it in a vintage basket with a vintage hanky and you are good to go! You can just imagine the memeories of wonderful getaways behind each batch.
Softly scented Glycerin Soap using only Essential Oils of course. Each has a vintage photo adhered to the top which makes them especially charming and one-of-a-kind!
And last but not least, my crocheted wash/dish cloths.
I use 100% cotton and, don't tell my Fiber Gals this, but the real pretty ones are made with expensive "Noro" yarn. They are the best. I just love them and they hold up way better and longer than my cotton towels. Love the colors and the feel.
Please, consider emailing me pictures of your projects. Let's inspire one another!
