 WE have BIG news to share with you. RobbinTheHood Vintage is getting a 

BANNER MAKEOVER!

 

Leigh Ann from Freckled Nest hosted a Blog-Anniversary Giveaway 

& We won!  We had the choice of one of these prizes.

An e-sewing course would have been sweet,

 but a new BANNER for RobbinTheHood Vintage would be AMAZING. 

And, it's not something we know anything about!  

What do you all think? Good choice?

Here's to new beginnings and new blogging friends. A BIG Thank You to Leigh Ann for the awesome opportunity. We are so very grateful. And if you haven't been over to her blog, do check it out, she is always updating DIY tutorials, links, and personal stories  :)

Check back with us soon!

This Week's Handmade Haven:

 I bought this wallet in Walnut for Craig this year for his 27th birthday. He had been complaining about the weight of his wallet in his back pocket and I was reminded of my father's back issues (and he's not even 50 yet!) So far, it has encouraged Craig to use his front and/or cargo pockets. It comes with a small leather strap with a magnet for closure. 

I think it's very classy. What do you think?

SlimTimber is a creative couple based out of Boise, Idaho.  

All of the wood used in their wallets is hand selected.

Each wood wallet is handmade in their shop and undergoes a 

personal inspection for quality before it is shipped.  

**Items will ship AT LEAST 2 weeks after your order is placed**

We were very pleased with this handmade (wooden) product, and we love supporting creative artists who put the time, care, and craftsmanship into their art. Thank you SlimTimber!

What are your thoughts/experience?

Have questions, please share!

Soy Candles in Weck Jars

There are so many exciting reasons why I want to share my love for these candles. First, if you must know, I have a place in my monthly budget for candles. eek. I know! It's just one of those things about a home, MY HOME that I deem necessary. But what I've realized is, much like most things, our money (no matter how well spent) is never quite an investment when it comes to candles. Well, until I stumbled upon vedgecandle...

These soy candles are poured into these amazing WECK jars that I have wanted to try out for a while now. If I have a weakness it's for candles and kitchen paraphernalia. I have been staring at them for months. I mean, MONTHS. 9, 12 long months. Finally I gave in and excused myself because in the end I was investing. not wasting.

Vedge Candles are

100% Pure Soy Wax and Dye-Free
Made in Reusable and Recyclable*Jars
Blended with the highest quality fragrances on the market
Available with custom-made cotton and wooden wicks
Also sold unscented
Designed to burn beautifully 


~Soy wax is a vegetable wax made from soybean oil and is a natural, renewable resource. The soy in your Vedge Candle was likely in the ground less than a year ago, on a farm in the Midwestern United States~  




Try them out for yourself and let us know what you think!
