I found a wonderful little stool at auction along with a vintage rubber stamp set
This is the 1940's rubber stamp set I bought at auction
And this was the little stool.
I wasn't trying to be artsy with my photo, it was the humidity here in Orlando fogging up the lens
I went to Graphics Fairy and found French advertising words
Then stamped away, I did it just by eyeballing, so it is not all perfectly straight, part of the charm...Maybe?
I used Versacraft fabric ink. I feel more comfortable using ink for fabric, so if the stool ever got wet, the graphics would never run or fade.
After Martins inspection I put the stool in my booth at Orange Tree and priced it at $28
I am totally in love with this project!!
I love the look and versatility of these vintage stamps, I think you will be seeing more rubber stamp projects in the future.
Happy Creating!

Don't you just love those rubber stamps? I think your stool is gorgeous and can't believe you have it at only $28. Fabulous makeover....kitty thinks so too:-)
Ummmm...$28.00??? I would have paid 3x that much for that fantastic stool, Carol! I adore it! And that stamp set??? Can I have it...? Please??? ;) Have a great week...;)
That stool is just fabulous, and at $28.00 it won't be in your booth long.. Those vintage stamps, wow what a great find. I think I'm off today to find some fabric ink.. I use the fabric paint, but have not tried the ink yet...can't wait to try it. Thanks for inspiring me.
Hugs,

Simply Beautiful....
Hi Carol,

That is SOOOOO Beautiful!! Great work with that awesome find:)

Love the stool and Martin too!!! One day I'm going to make it to your booth. I just live a couple of hours away...
Cute as it can be Carol! I found some old stamps that had been used for plants at a nursery. They had great names like Mrs. Roosevelt and the neat wooden handles. Decided to sale them on ebay. Went for a great price. I was a happy camper. Of course I had to keep a few of them. Love your set! Keep and enjoy. xo
Carol - Love your blog! Wish I could find an old stamp set like that. :) Thank you so much for stopping by & following my blog. I'm following you too. So happy we found each other and cannot wait to browse around here...xoxo

That stool is awesome...Love the "stamped" look! Great job as usual...it should sell fast!!!
Awesome make over....love it. And that stamping kit was a great find for sure!
Thanks for sharing,
Cheryl
love this! it turned out so elegant
So cute...see, you were meant to keep that cute little stamping set! Yes, and I agree, $28 is a great buy for that little stool!
The stool is gorgeous, and I bet it finds a new home quickly. And I was reading this and going, oh yes, that's nice, that's really lovely and then...
....You can get STAMPING INK FOR FABRIC??? Really? I'm a total stamping newbie, I don't even know how to clean my stamps, bit I've got a custom one made (Of the bunnyfly you see by this post) and I'd love to make some bunnyfly fabric. Custom fabric is pricey...but if I could stamp my own? Wow! So, thank you so much for pointing the way
Hugs!

I love it and would totally buy it from your shop. I also love the fabric you used. Is it a linen?
Joi

love the old stamps, carol, and your stool is so adorable!
I love this stool! I think it turned out fabulously & I think it'll sell fast. I know I'd buy it if I saw it.
Such a neat idea Carol. I love the fabric you chose for the stool too. I knew you would come up with some nice stuff when you showed us your stamping kit!
Your stamp set is wonderful and how fun that you used it for such a fabulous re-make. I love your little stool and how you made it tres chic! Happy stamping...
What a wonderful find that stamping kit was! Your stool turned out so well. What a nice change from the original look. :-) Am visiting from Kathleen's party.

This turned out beautifully, Carol! I love the hint to use fabric ink!
I like this Carol! And that you eye balled it.
cute cute cute!
AH-dorable!!! I would *so* love a stamp kit like that...I could do a lot of damage with one, methinks!
*cute project*
That stamp kit is quite the find!
What a fabulous find that stamp set is! *swoon* And love what you did with it.
And I love that you sometimes use pictures with the kitty in them. It adds such a warm touch- those of use with cats know that they must inspect everything, and seeing them doing that in pictures causes a giggle and a head nod!
That little vintage stamp set is the gift that keeps on giving! The remade stool now has "Carol" written all over it.
OK, not technically... but you know what I mean. Grin.
Love the stool and the vintage stamp set! You are so creative!
I knew you'd be up to something WONDERFALL! :) LOVE IT! You are a creative genius!
YOU ARE!~

Carol, this is lovely! Your work is impeccable :)
Pretty!
And I love the picture of Sir Martin. All that's missing is a king's crown on his head. :p He is one very photogenic kitty. I've always wanted a black and white cat.
