Vintage Style Spring Moss Purse

February 25, 2019 By Karen Creel

While trying to organize some of my craft supplies and junk finds, I came across three little moss purses I had purchased a few years ago.  I also found a few doilies for another project, and a pair of vintage flower earrings.

These would be cute for a vintage style spring moss purse. Spring is just around the corner and the pastel pink and blue in the vintage clip on earrings would be a great addition to add color to the doily. So, I grabbed the glue gun, and gathered my supplies for the moss purse.  Oh, the organizing?  It can wait.

If something catches my eye at the thrift store or flea market, I buy it.  I’ll always find a use for it, and it was perfect for this moss purse planter.  I folded the doily in half and put half on the outside and half on the inside.  I just put a dollop of glue on the back and attached it to the moss purse both inside and out, and clipped the earrings onto the doily.

A spring flower pick was added to the plant.

 

 

You could add tulips or other spring flowers such as daffodils for an Easter gift, or fill with Easter surprises.  I try to repurpose my thrift store finds throughout the seasons.  Orange doily and a Halloween pic.  At Christmas, you could add vintage Christmas decorations.  These purses would also make great wedding or wedding shower decorations.

The moss purse is lined with plastic. I take my ivy out to water, and then replace it. I also spritz the purse occasionally to keep it green.

A Quick Note…

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age.  I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers.  Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch.  I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard.  My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden.  He had me help him  plant a garden in May before he died in August.  So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together.  I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
