Santa's Christmas Romance Ditty Bag


~ Santa's Christmas Romance Ditty Bag ~

A Sweet Magnolias Farm One of A Kind Design.

Ditty Bags are a favorite here at Sweet Magnolias Farm ..we have a little saying .."Never enough Ditty Bags" around the farmhouse. There's always a little something rather it's some of Grandmas old lace and buttons ..or some precious what not ..that need a special home ..or a Birthday pops up and you need a way to wrap something special ..and well a ditty bag ..seems to be just the perfect solution for these things and more.Of course ..Christmas rolls around ..and you need another stocking but don't have one ..well a Christmas ditty bag is just perfect ..Need a special way to wrap a gift and again the ditty is just perfection...And let me say they make the best Decorations for the house ..hung from an old peg rack, an old country cupboard door ..in the center of a wreath, tucked in the tree with pine boughs or bottle brush trees poking out the top and they are just perfection !!

See you never knew there were so many reasons ditty bags ..are great to have !

Well this special one of a kind Bag ..is Antique and Prim Christmas Perfection.

Made from ornsburg fabric ..it has that nice nubby rustic appeal. We then layered it with a Beautiful piece of antique lace then another layer upon it is made up of an early ephemera fabric print of Santa creating a Christmas Romance right out of the 1800's ..The threesome is just Beautiful ! This piece of ephemera is trimmed in deep cocoa brown velvet ric rac..it's positively yummy ! Below is an old piece of metal filigree with a wonderful antique look ..we embellished it with 2 antique rhinestones an old needle point rose jewelry find.. and 2 distressed bells that dangle below and chime so sweetly .."Each time this bag is picked up ...several Angels get there wings"

The bottom of the bag is the lace Layer that makes a beautiful angle that hangs off the bag and is trimmed in an authentic antique red scalloped cotton trim..making for a wonderful addition .

The top of the bag draws nicely shut ..with a Vintage Wide Dusty brown Grosgrain ribbon .. and just below the knot on the bag ..stamped in deep Christmas red ..is the sentiment .."Merry Christmas"

This lovely ditty ..measures: 14 inches in length x 10.5 inches wide.

P.S. ..the Beeswax Pepperberries spraying out the top are not included ..however they can be purchased at our Website ..which is listed in the top right column.

Thanks for stopping in and Merry Christmas ..The Sweet Magnolias ..Sara and Abbey

Vintage Snow Bell Ornaments



~ Vintage Snow Bells ~

A Sweet Magnolias Farm Original Design.

Here at Sweet Magnolias Farm ..antique and Vintage Christmas decor is a love of ours. For many years we have collected very early pieces. Some of our favoite ornaments of the early 1900s were the snow bells. Over the years these have become increasingly harder to find. And our love of creating has driven us ..to come up with our very own Snow Bell Ornaments that we hope you enjoy as much as we have enjoyed creating and making them

Our Snow Bells go through a 7 step process from beginning to end ..it's a long journey to get them so Lovely ..but it's so very worth the outcome.

Each snow Bell is hand sculpted from paper Mache. Then Hand painted in white . We then handpaint Holly and berries onto each bell ..before covering them in glittered snow. On the bottom of each bell you will find a Vintage silver mercury glass bead that we have impressed into the bottom representing the clanger. It's a wonderful added touch and really add that vintage element we love so dearly.

Each bell has a wire hanger at the top ..ready to be hung on your Christmas Tree, from a Garland, Or even a wreath.

You will recieve a set of 3 per Order.

Each Bell is Handmade ..Therefore no 2 are alike ..some are shorter, taller, wider, and skinnier. They will measure approx. 3.75 inches to 2.5 inches in height and 2.5 inches to 3.5 inches wide.

We will handpick each special bell for your order.

~ Starlite's White Christmas ~


Meet Starlite...she's having a most delightful White Christmas ..that she would so dearly love to share with you ! Starlite's favorite thing about Christmas ..is the Winter White that blankets the eart and trees..She loves the way the ice glistens when it freezes and how the snow brightly shines and glimmers when the light of the moon sparkles upon it. Starlite lives in her very own Winter Wonderland all year through.



Starlite ..is most definitely a work of my heart and hands ..I designed her from beginning to end ..and it was a joy to see her come to life in her Winter wonderland. She has the most dreamy face ..looking up at the star lit winter night !



I handsculpted starlites face from paper clay and handpainted it as well. She is a soft white ..with light crackling for that vintage look ..with black eyes and mouth and a silver grey nose. Her head is sweetly wrapped in a white gauze and antique lace scarf ..that softly falls about her eyes and cheeks and ties below her chin. It's accentuated with an Antique rhinestone button that looks just like a lovely snowflake.


Her Soft body I made from an antique pink pinstriped polished cotton topped with antique lace. She has a sheer silver pinstriped ribbon that embellishes her front side ..and 2 vintage rhinestone buttons that top it off.



Starlite stands upon a pond of ice ( an old round mirror)embellished around it's edge in a ribbon and Ice crystal bead trim. She's in a winter white forest of trees ...a large white bottle brush tree stands behind her and leans in a hill of snow ..that I sculpted from paper clay and added to the top of the ice pond. The tree has been decorated with authentic Antique Rhinestones ..sheer light pink ribbon garland ..topped with an old rhinestone button. To the front of the tree I added a White paper Banner with the sentiment "Merry Christmas" printed across it ..and the edges are decoratively cut.


To the left of Starlite ..a small White bottle brush tree stands in some snow ..and is topped with an antique rhinestone. From top to bottom ..Starlite ..the winter white forest ..and the ice pond ..have all been dusted in ice crystal glitter ..it shimmers and glimmers ever so beautifully ..!!!

For that last unique one of a Kind Touch ..Noel stands upon a vintage heart shaped tart mold that's inverted.
