treasures from the creatologie workshop...

It's been a busy time in the creatologie workshop!

Fall is just about here and most of us are back into our routines of work, creating, decorating and getting ready for the holidays.  With that in mind, I've put together a few things that may help you with the creating, the decorating and the getting ready for the holidays.  Work...well, you're on your own there :)!

The items I'm featuring today are available for pre-order today...I'll begin shipping them on Monday, September 26th.

OK, here are some of the delightful treasures featured today:

GOLD EMBROIDERED CANVAS BOOK:

I have personally hand made several of these special 8 1/2 x 11 cloth albums.  The cover is embroidered with a matte (not metallic) gold thread in a chain stitch pattern.  The cover lining and interior pages are natural canvas.  There are 14 interior surfaces on which to create.  The cover fabric is a high-end, specialty home dec piece which I was able to find in a limited quantity.  The pattern is so beautiful that it can stand on its own as far as a cover...add a metal tag or index holder and voila, you have a finished cover.  Or, decorate to your heart's desire!  The canvas album is available for $34, plus shipping (within the US).  Just click on the Buy Now button below.

 

RUCHED CANVAS BOOK:

I love the look of this fabulous ruched canvas cover.  It's neutral, yet has the most amazing texture to it, which means that you can decorate very minimally if you'd like.  The finished book is 8 1/2 x 11", with 14 interior natural canvas surfaces.  This is another very limited designer fabric...I've only been able to make a few book covers with the piece I have.  Available for just $34, plus shipping (within the US).

 

BROWN EMBROIDERED LINEN COVERED CANVAS BOOK:

Oh, what a perfect book for fall.  The cover fabric is designer quality embroidered linen with a few copper sequins sewn on here and there...nothing to overwhelm, but to add texture and interest.  The cover lining and interior pages are made of natural canvas and there are 14 interior surfaces for your creative pleasure.  I have made several of these as well...they are 8 1/2" x 11, a perfect size to display lots of your fabrics, photos and embellishments.

RED STRIPE LINEN CANVAS BOOK:

What could be more charming than a French red stripe linen to grace the cover of this canvas book?  Not much, for sure!  As I was creating these books, I envisioned a great French flavored canvas book, or maybe a book featuring family recipes or food traditions in your family.  The red stripe in linen is reminiscent of old French kitchen towels or bedroom linens.  You will love filling the 14 interior natural canvas pages inside this 8 1/2 x 11 limited edition hand made book.  Available for $34, plus shipping (within the US).

DIAMOND MATELASSE CANVAS BOOK:

This is a one of a kind canvas book covered with vintage matelasse in a diamond pattern.  I found just a tiny piece of this vintage fabric in Alberta, Canada and I'm delighted to share it with you in the form of this hand made canvas book.  The 14 interior surfaces are made from natural canvas and the book measures 8 1/2 x 11.  You will love the tea dyed look of this fabric (and no, I didn't dye it...it has aged to this gorgeous shade all by itself :)).  The minimalistic patterning of the cover allows for lots of your special goodies to be added.  Available for just $34, plus shipping (within the US). 

SOLD.  

TIN, TRIMS AND MATELASSE COVERED CANVAS BOOK:

This little product kit and canvas book is sure to make you smile.  The 5 x 8 metal "Tea for Two" tin is filled to the brim with fall flavored trims and ribbons...perfect to fill the 8 x 8 swirl matelasse covered canvas book.  With 14 interior surfaces in the book, you are going to have a lot of creative opportunities to use these trims, the small piece of script fabric and the smattering of embellishments included in this little product kit.  It's a one of a kind...put together especially for you.  Available for just $67, plus shipping (within the US).

SOLD.

AND, FINALLY, SOMETHING TO HELP YOU GET STARTED WITH YOUR AUTUMN DECORATING!

A hand crafted, vintage styled white pumpkin, dressed to the max with vintage lace and trims, old vintage earrings, a vintage pearl collar, vintage, chippy glass pearl drops, and a hand made ribbon flower, complete with vintage stamens.  You may remember that I had posted this pumpkin last year during the fall and since then, I've received emails from a number of you, asking if I would consider selling my pumpkin.  Well, you know that, in an effort to make some room, I've been paring down on all sorts of creative things around here- product, samples and now, home decor items!  This hand made, one of a kind, vintage styled pumpkin (10" high, approx 8" in diameter) can be yours for just $75, plus shipping (within the US).

Ok, it really has been busy around here!  Hope you find something in the workshop treasure chest to make you smile and to get the creative juices going.

Pre-order today...and I'll start shipping out on 9/26.  For Arizona residents, sales tax is included in the shipping amount.
