Carolina Craft and Art

Carolina Craft and Art Home goods gifts We offer a unique selection of handcrafted goods made from recycled materials, beautifully decoupaged and finished with care.

Our collection includes large metal trays, recycled silverplate trays and bowls, fabric-covered plates trimmed in gold, as well as upcycled metal cans and glass bottles in a variety of sizes and styles. Perfect for eco-conscious shoppers, each piece blends creativity with sustainability to add charm and character to your space. I love making new things out of recycled or gently used items, especia

lly using decoupage. My favorite projects are small storage boxes and large trays, all in a vintage style. I look for materials at thrift shops and flea markets, then use them to make beautiful and useful items for the home. Each piece is unique and eco-friendly
Small boxes, tins, and trays become special with layers of patterned paper, old book pages, or fabric. I seal everything so it can be used every day
I like to mix things up—using newspapers, music sheets, lace, and stamps. It’s a fun challenge to try new ideas and make each item different. All my creations are sold for others to enjoy. I hope people see how old things can become something wonderful again. I enjoy creating vintage-style storage boxes and trays using recycled materials and decoupage. I find supplies at thrift shops and flea markets, transforming them with patterned paper, old book pages, and fabric. Each piece is unique, eco-friendly, and made for everyday use. My goal is to show how old items can be turned into something beautiful again.

I love turning thrifted finds into something special. Today I’m sharing a simple decoupage trick I use to transform a tray into a vintage-inspired accent: I layer recycled papers, smooth seams with a matte sealant, then buff the edges for a soft, aged look. Pro tip: sand lightly between two thin sealant coats — it gives a glassy, professional finish every time. This method cuts waste and reflects our shop’s years of craft-market success.

I love how distressing and sealing can turn a simple piece into something with a timeless, nostalgic soul. In this quick demo I show the easy steps I use to distress, seal, and protect finishes so they age beautifully. As a former teacher turned maker, I still enjoy the quiet moments of learning—and I bring that care to every handmade item. Curious to try this look at home or find a ready-made piece?

I’ve been spending weekends at local vintage markets and the trend is clear: shoppers are craving nostalgic, character-filled pieces. My top sellers? Upcycled picture frames, retro-inspired lamps, and hand-painted signs with worn edges — they fly off the table first. Switching from teaching to selling at markets has taught me what people really want: items with story and charm. Want to see what’s coming to the next show or shop my current finds? Visit https://wix.to/1dcIZVl and let me know which style you’d love in your home. 😊

We love how three upcycled pieces can refresh a room while helping the planet. Start with a vintage glass vase on your entryway table to catch light and welcome guests. Add a reclaimed-wood frame on a bookshelf to bring warmth and texture. Finish with a hand-painted tin planter on a windowsill for a pop of color and green life. Each item at Carolina Craft and Art is one-of-a-kind and made from repurposed materials—stylish, sustainable, and meaningful. Explore the collection: https://wix.to/jKbVViF 🌱✨🪴 .

I loved meeting everyone at the South Carolina vintage market — the crowd’s energy was electric and my best-selling piece, a hand-refinished oak side table, found a new home within hours. If you’re hunting for one-of-a-kind accents, look for solid wood, good bones, and finishes you can refresh. Local markets are the best place to find treasures you won’t see online.

I love finishing a decoupage piece so it looks beautiful and stands up to daily use. I start with a good sanding, seal with a durable water-based polyurethane, and add a wax or oil finish for that soft vintage patina. These simple steps make thrifted finds into lasting home accents you can use every day. Visit https://wix.to/YvWZltM to see finished pieces and shop handmade treasures. Ready to try one?
