Towel Please!

(Above: Gingham-Black Star Line)
$4.50

Recently The Dusty Attic has had a growing demand for kitchen towels. They make a great gift when paired with some of our coffees, soap dispensers and other kitchenwares.
Not to mention extremely affordable to duel purpose as a table runner, bathroom hand drying towel, and when paired with curtain hooks they make very inexpensive quick curtains.
Two of these kitchen towels make a great set of curtains for less than $10. As curtains, you can use them to cover a window or to cover an area of a cabinet or shelf that's not so pretty or even under your bathroom sink to create a hidey-hole spot.
They also are very pretty folded and drapped over a cabinet door.
I (Brittany) even have a set to sew together to make a pillow case because I like the fabic sooo much and cute pillow cases are hard to find.
Wouldn't these also be prettier covers for those great big ice packs and heating pads.
Oh, and if you sewed the long sides together and ran a drawstring through the top and another through the bottom, you could make your own bag holder to match the rest of your kitchen towels or curtains.
Or do something similar to what I did for my little girl... Sew a towel into a pouch to put your pre-k-ers extra "just in case" clothes in to keep at school. Everyone loved that.

Love those Dipping Bowls!


New, this July are these dipping bowls with spreaders.
Aren't these just tooooo cute.
Their quote-unquote names are DIPPING bowls...but I must say, I would have to whip up my favorite cheeseball mix (instead of a dip) to flop into one of these little cuties!
"Wind-n-willer" Blue Cheese!!! - Brittany
I guess it doesn't really matter what you use IN it ... my lil girl would probably use it for ketchup...lol!
Ketchups a dip too ..... Right?! Hahaha.
These bowls are FOR SALE.

(*Now SOLD*) Another Great Green Cabinet - $100.00

The Dusty Attic has another great GREEN cabinet...lol. No, we aren't painting them this lovely color. It is from the same home as the bakers cabinet. It must have matched their jade colored kitchen sets??? I don't really know. But it is just as sweet to display in as the other cabinet.
It does have a few more bumps and scratches but like I said... sweet none the less.
The counter top is made of wood unlike most hoosier cabinets that have enamel. But the feature of being able to pull the top out for more room makes that not too shabby at all.
It also has a roll down door on the right side.
The sifter is a bit rusty but makes the perfect patina for a lover of prim and rusties. Of course since there IS a sifter, the top is the bin.
(By the way, the cobwebs and dust are free.... No charge for that, I promise. Haha!)

I realize that I didn't take quite a cute picture of this cabinet but I was in a little more of a hurry to brag about the cabinet than arranging something pretty to go in it.

Cute Cute!

Pip Option Photos and Descriptions


In the past we have had a few customers say... "What is a pip?" Then what comes next is "What is a teardrop",...."spray",......etc.
So in this post you will find a little more about what they are and how you may use them.
(Above: Bright Pumpkin colored SPRAYS)
*****
Pips
....are the little berry looking things on all of the items that you are about to see.
Sprays
...are usually classified as, but isn't limited to, a floral type of item. The sprays above are a small floral "branches" that are covered with a pip "berry".
Try to picture it like this......
They resemble the spray of water that comes out of a sprayer bottle when held out.
Simple huh?
*****

(Above: These are the 2 lengths of pip teardrops that we offer here at The Dusty Attic.)
Teardrops
... are very similar to sprays except they have a more finished look to their gathered end. The ends, instead of being straight out and covered with more floral tape, are twisted and looped into a teardrop shape so that they may be hung prettier.
Teardrops may also be used like a spray and placed into an arrangement rather than hung.

(Above: A small gold teardrop is hung from a cabinet latch.)

(An assortment of small teardrops placed in flower pot buckets to look like drieds or flowers in bloom.)

(An assortment of colored teardrops offered at The Dusty Attic.)

(Teardrops also look very pretty displayed with curled branches.)
*****
Candle Rings
...are the ringed objects above and are basically what they are called.
A ring to go around your candles.
But don't let these little guys fool you. They are the best lil quick change artists around our store.
We have used them as candle rings, bowl fillers, jar fillers, ornies, towel holders, curtain tie backs, mini wreaths, hung them in the windows from ribbon, placed them as necklaces on prim bears, hung stars in the centers of them and so on and so on.
The possibilities are endless!
(Candle Ring as a towel holder.)

(Stacked Medium and Small Candle Rings make this battery opporated candle display look so much fuller.)

(This Candle Ring is being used as a curtain tie back.)
*****

Garlands
...are the longer strands of pips, like the one above. They can be displayed in multiples down a doorway,stick straight and hooked, to form a large display for the holidays. Silicone lights run through them also make for a very bold display. Garlands can be used to drape over curtain tops, over peg shelves, across the top of cabinets as well as inside of a cabinet shelf. They can also be used to add a little color to a grapevine or dragonvine wreath. Wrap them around a christmas tree for a more natural looking garland. Bend them into the shape of your favorite display bowl and it fills it wonderfully.
Once again, the possibilities are endless.

Baker's Cabinet - $300.00

The Dusty Attic got this new bakers cabinet last week. I absolutely adore it. I kept asking Connie (momma-n-law and owner of the Dusty Attic) if she would notice such a big piece missing if it accidently found it's way to my house. LOL!
Both of the bottom cabinets are actually bins!
Isn't it amazing.

Now I know that most people would think that this vintage jade color should be outlawed but I think it suits this cabinet extremely well...haha.
Look at those tiny drawers!

This item is FOR SALE.

Christmas Box Fun

Now, I know that I posted this one on my Crows of Prim Hollow blog but I had to share it on our Dusty Attic blog too because it was taken there.
This is Erica in a Christmas tree box that she stole after I was putting the tree up. She crawled inside and yelled to me that she was a mermaid and this was her mermaid tail. She was swimming in her mermaid tail in this pic. LOL!
It totally made my day!
Small Adorable Child - NOT FOR SALE. lol

Handpoured Wax Melting Tarts by The Dusty Attic

The Dusty Attic has had fantastic luck with handpoured wax melting tarts since the beginning of the store in 2007. Wax tarts have quickly become a staple of most purchases.

This allows The Dusty Attic to have as many, on hand, of one scent as we know our customers favorites and also allows us to have our scents available quicker than having to order. The Dusty Attic also keeps in mind the requests of certain scents that we do not yet carry so that our customers don't have to travel far for their favorite scents.
