Hey, I get my choice of two shops: WillyNillyArt or WillyNillyVintage!

This year, I'm opting for a Crafty Christmas!

One of these holidays, I'm going to make aprons for everyone to give as gifts -- love this one for myself, though!!

When I was a kid, I was crazy for giraffes -- love this vintage-looking one:

Really cool mens' sweater to knit -- love that the name of the pattern is "Sun Valley"!

Something to add to my on-going collection of vintage buckles -- I love rhinestones!

(And what is it with this seller and all the unused stock...does she have some special line at the North Pole?!)

Not unused, but an impressive piece that I find irresistible: A gold-plated late Victorian to Edwardian buckle of 4" in height! I kind of NEED this Santa!
