Thinking Outside the "Wire Urn"?


I'm not sure what you call these "containers".
but I call them wire urns......
I love this one; unique, cream, a tiny bit shabby...
I use them for lots of things in my little store.
This one has been full of rolled up music, or dictionary pages, or filled with doilies.
Or just sitting with nothing in it it is lovely.
But I decided to try something new....


I turned it upside down to use it as a "cloche" of sorts.

I put a doily and one of my handmade nests on top,
an old clock face, and "other treasures" inside at the bottom,
and laid another nest (in a coin purse) at the base.
Also added one of  my little Tea Bag Rose Bouquets.

It is so fun and different. Love it!!
What else could we put under there?
Or maybe it would be a great base for a cake plate....


Here is just a bit of something from home.
I do not decorate much here, but have some special pieces I like to play with...
tea pot,

  old lock and keys....white buttons I love....


and another nest. Can you tell I love nests???

OK, that is all the fun for today.

New Display, and Some Old Treasures




 New display at the store.
I sold a tall shelf that was next to a cash register....
so had to improvise to get another tall thing there.
So I put a suitcase down first,
then turned a wood box with lid on it's side....
opened the door up...
put an old tool carrier on it's side...
hmmm. seems to be a lot of putting things on their side today. =)
Then I filled cubbies, hung things on the door.....
oh, take a look at that old spring with twigs in it...fun!!
(click to enlarge)


Here is a close up of the old pulley I hung.

 

I made a make shift ring for the old keys I just bought.
Already had the old rusty wire. perfect!

 Here is the tool carrier filled with treasures...

 an old iron on top... 

and here is whole corner...
I added a clip board with old French Book,
some old tins in front of suitcase,
and a little black case on top of the black box.
was so fun to 'create' again.

blessings all and thanks for coming by.
