Beach Inspired Altered Vintage Nancy Ann Story Book Doll


Hello Friends!

This little beach girl I just completed is on her way to Cape May, New Jersey to my friend Mary's Beach Cottage. 
Mary loves hunting for vintage as much as I do & she is always popping a box filled with it in the mail to me. In return I pop something back into the mail to her. We have kept each other smiling & running to the mailbox throughout this less than perfect time.




Love the way this altered doll came together.
I know Mary is going to enjoy adding her to her Nancy Ann collection.



Thank you for stopping in today!
Have a creative day!!

What I collected while out junking to craft a Vintage Doll Assemblage

If you are interested in rescuing vintage pieces from Flea markets, thrift stores, junk shops & garage sales & transforming them into something beautiful for your home or even to start selling, I am happy you can join me today! Welcome to my blog!
 Below is a list of the vintage pieces  I used to create this Vintage Doll Assemblage.


1. Vintage doll in pink dress 
2. Old book of poems
3. Vintage Rhinestone necklace & Rhinestone button
4. Flowers from an old hat
5. Lace & a crochet piece cut from a table runner
6. Saying cut from inside a vintage greeting card
7. The love of losing yourself in a craft project!


The components listed to put this assemblage together are bits and pieces I have gathered from many junk shopping trips. 
When you are out & about and spot something as simple as a little stack of old greeting cards you must rescue them for your stash!! Just look at how a little snip from inside that rescued card finishes off this project. 
Just keep going out on the hunt and soon your stash with build up with all the little vintage sweetness you've collected & you will be on your way to assembling some beautiful pieces in no time.

Don't forget about ebay and etsy too! When you are stuck inside, a little online shopping can score some great unique pieces!
