Christmas Day Snow In Dixie

Hey, Merry Christmas!!! It's really snowing here in Dixie...we hardly ever have snow here, especially on Christmas but we're getting it today. I'm somewhat North of Birmingham, Al, and this is the first time ever they're supposed to get snow on Christmas day, at least since records have been kept. It's really pretty, but here in the South we have a hard time getting around in it..I think people who have snow most of the time in winter laugh at us because we panic when it snows here. But its so pretty while it lasts. Happy Holidays everyone from Sheer Fab and Shabby Fab.

Moving On to Spring Stuff

I know the first day of Winter is not until tomorrow...but it's time to start thinking spring...at least new spring fashions. So, that gives me a chance to start using my favorite fabrics again...raw edge muslin, vintage crochet and laces..along with my special upstyled pastel cotton sweaters. This is my first creation for Valentine, Easter and spring, 20ll. It's now on Etsy with other examples of cute, restyled, upstyled sweaters and jackets..pop on over for a quick look...www.SheerFab.etsy.com.

CREAM AND GREEN ENAMEL BAKEWARE

I was browsing in one of my favorite thrift stores yesterday and found this wonderful old enamel ware pan..the kind our moms used back in the 40s and 50s. This one is cream with green trim and was stuck under a table in the back, so had not been discovered and grabbed before I found it. I think the cream and green is from the 40's..so its definitely vintage. Its still in pretty good condition, inside is near perfect, but there are some chips around the edges. Enamel cookware was used in daily cooking back then before modern stainless and no stick became popular, so it was subject to some chips and dents..but this one has survived pretty intact. It came in several trim colors, white with red trim, that I'm told was from the 50's, and white with black trim. But I think the cream and green is my favorite. This one measures 9 by 14 inside and 9 3/4 by 15 3/4 overall. Has one hole in the handle for hanging if one would want to display it as a great kitchen decor collectible. I've posted it on www.ShabbyFab.etsy.com..so take a look.
