I've been tucked away in the studio dealing with this little sassy bird that is such a total diva.
She's a new member of the
She's a new member of the
"Cosmopolitan Country" pillow line by Bundles of Blossoms~
SOLD~
This sassy lil' pillow measures 11 inches wide and 13 inches high.
It is made almost entirely out of vintage fabrics.
I can't get enough of her.
I love the look of this tiny red, pink, black & ivory print. It gives the little birdie pillow so much character and energy.
Here is a back view of the pillow-
I stuff the pillow, myself, as well. This is a pillow and not a pillow slip cover. When I am done stuffing the pillow then I hand sew the end.
Here is an up close and personal shot of this sassy little country bird. It took me forever to take this pic, because she was so particular about how she looked, and she just wanted me to capture her from the perfect angle.
(She tends to have a little diva attitude sometimes)

She has a price tag of $35.00
She would make an excellent Christmas present!
So I have been making flower brooches and/or pins, too.
FLOWER BROOCHES & PINS
These accessories have been so fun to make. Again, keeping with the theme of "Cosmo-Country" I wanted them to look farm girl cool with a twist of modern contempory flare.
Most of the brooches are made from vintage fabric, vintage buttons, or a great combination of old and new fabric and buttons (whatever looks the cutest to me at the moment.)
The buttons are securely handsewn by me, as well as, the pin backs. The edges are intentionally left raw and during all of the years that I have created these brooches they only fray just a tad, but I love that look. I am always complimented and asked where I bought them when I wear them myself.

On the back of each flower brooch and/or pin I always cut out a felt heart, not only to cover the exposed stitching on the back, but to make sure you know that my love, my heart, and my soul went into each and everyone. It's so very true. I love everything I create and I become attached to it-now, isn't that silly? It's very true. I love to create! That's the greatest thing about shopping handmade gifts isn't it?
So below are the flower brooches. I took three pictures of each floral pin. I have just the image of what it looks like, then I have kind of a side image to show you the thickness of the brooch, and then I have the back side with the Bundles of Blossoms signature heart.
I need to start loading my etsy shop, which I will, but I have been selling quite a few of everything, as well as, just building up supply and there are just not enough hours in the day to do it all if you know what I mean. I am in pure heaven creating this line and it consumes me in the best of ways.
I have found my niche and I love it!

My main goal with
"Cosmopolitan Country"
"Cosmopolitan Country"
is to introduce a new line of country living, country accessorizing, and country home decor to country girls, as well, as city girls.
You can still be country and totally hip and fashionable at the same time while paying tribute to your roots. I think modern country is a niche' that I hope to carve out, because it's what I have been desperately seeking for myself when I decorate and also how I accessorize myself. If I am in search of this chic country farm girl style then I know others are as well, and just might not realize what it is exactly that they are really shopping for.
There are many areas of "Cosmo Country" that I can play with which keeps my mind designing. I am just getting started!
I am so proud of where I come from and where I raise my family.
I am blessed beyond means and thankful everyday that I wake up here in the Midwest.
I just want to celebrate and honor my lifestyle, as well as, others that love this country style farming community that we get to call home.
I also am making barns, tractors, black angus cows, cowboy boots, flowers, goats, pigs, horses, owls, and anything farm related into pillows.

I love everything, its so cute but that bird seems so hard to handle but will keep you busy indeed. I hope you find them flying out of your store :)
Bubbles-How in the world are you?? I have been locked away in my studio creating pillows and brooches like a mad scientist-HA!
This bird is quite spunky and she actually threatened to walk right off of this pillow if I didn't photograph her correctly. She's got so much of me in her-LOL!
Thank you for your sweet words, as always, and I would love to see all of these creations fly out of the store, too :)
P.S. (Are you ever coming over for dinner? You always have an open invitation. You know it's just a hop, skip, and a jump across that big Atlantic pond?) LOL!!!!!!!
LOVE the pillow!!
ADORABLE!!!
My Grandma Mary Ann would love her and I would love to give her to her for a Christmas present! :)
Is she for sale??
Aarika
Angela-I love that you love my bird. By the way I wanted to let you know that I am going to pin your stuff too on Pinterest-You have such an eye for vintage everything. I can't tell you enough how I love the finds that you find!!!! Thank you for the sweet words!!!!
Well, hello lady and yes she is for sale. She's $35.00. I put her up for sale on Etsy last night and so please let me know if you are going to purchase the sassy little bird or not so I can remove her from Etsy or leave her. Either way is fine by me. I am in love with her-I really really am. I might have to make a twin of her or something. Get this- She was also pinned on Pinterest-(ISN'T THAT SO COOL!!)
OMG! That is so soo exciting! I love pinterest... it is my favorite addiction.
Yes I want her. She will look so lovely all perched up on my Grandma's couch and she will love her too, because she is into birds these days! :) And I can wait to pick her up if you need me too so that you can make a replica for yourself.

What an awesome day!!! Just stop by the studio, whenver you have time, and pick it up. There's no hurry and yep I pulled it from etsy already.
I am so thankful that you love these goodies so much. I LOVE making them. You wouldn't believe the sketches and drawings that I have been working on for this line. I wish there were twenty of me sitting beside each other sewing away-LOL! Thank you so very much!
