It is my intent to share once a month a piece of fabric, lace, embroidery or crochet that I have rescued and restored some of its beauty into a new treasure that could become tomorrow's heirloom. Most of these items will be available for sale on my website that I will feature here.
TUSSIE MUSSIE with Truffles
Tonite I would like to share a pretty Tussie Mussie cone--almost everything is from bits and pieces of rescued vintage. (The cone, ribbon and the button are new)
I started with a piece of vintage Wilendur tablecloth fabric and wrapped the hard paper cone.
A small vintage hand crocheted doily forms a bottle ruffle anchored by a soft ivory satin ribbon. I added tiny red pearls on the loops of the doily too. The top features sections of small coaster doilies, and tiny scalloped lace too. A piece of red lace is adds a final touch along with some bling of a sparkly rhinestone button.
A sweet treat of 8 yummy Lindor truffles is included too!
This is available for sale on my website--Marionberry Cottage

Nice to meet you! What a clever use of vintage materials. Truly beautiful!
What a nice introduction post, Debbie. I haven't been to your website for a little while, so I'll have to go take a look. Love the product you featured too, it's darling!

I always liked the term "Tussie Mussie". I tried the link to your website, and it wasn't working. You might want to check it.
Nice to meet you!
