Embroidery Vintage Doll Dress!

A friend gave me this little purple linen dress a couple of years ago.  I loved it....but, I didn't know what to do with it.  It came with just the white trim and solid purple.  

Then I added a little embellishment.  I few pieces of torn embroidered linens....tatting....a little fun hand embroidery.....button....

and a cute little purple dress as art!

Folk Art Sock!

This little sock has been in my stash for years.  I only have one, and the side you don't see is almost gone because this little toe coverer has no doubt been a buffet for a fleet of moths.  The colors were so fashion forward for the time of its making.  It's a funky blue and green....quite popular today.  Although, I found it in a warehouse attic with many things dated early 1900's.  

Next to the collection came this delightful long, skinny ledger.  

What better to put on it than this little sock?

I added a few embellishments...and there she is.  A precious piece of folk art.....a SOCK!
