Springs & Crows

I love old bed springs.

we recently got some, and have cut them into small useable pieces.

See part of one behind that rusty bucket??

Great to tuck in the garden too....

plants love to grow on them.....

 here is a bigger one in an old cart....

waiting for some other fun things to be thrown in around it.

 of course in the Fall, one of my fave things is crows....

These are available at the $ store (or tree)?

See how this one is sitting on a single coil of spring??

Single spring $2.00,

so this project is only $3.00....)

 close up of spring with Spanish moss on it.

a spring with a 'boo' on it and in a little vignette.

You can also sit little pumpkins on them, or candles.

or turn them on their side and put an old picture or mail.

 and you can sit crows on.......

in...or around anything...

old lanterns, boxes, sewing machine, typewriter....

even an old work belt.

Now...go decorate!!

Joining 100 ideas under $100...

White Wednesday.....French Books

So LOVE these shabby "white" books...

Cannot speak a word of French, 

but they are so perfectly aged......

Here are some pics from one.....

love the graphics ....

isn't it great????

Made a little tea bag rose sample for a gal who

 wants to do 250 little boxes as gifts at her wedding...

with my tea bag roses on them!!!! So fun!!

We are having a 'tea bag rose making party' this week at the shop.

Not sure how she will choose to do them,

so stay tuned......

 ....I so want one of these cubby thingies...

not so fancy, or big....and does not have to have removable drawers...

I'm easy to please......My sweet fella was with me when I saw it.

Hoping he will 'surprise' me with one.....

(not....but he is great and I love him anyway.) =)

I actually have old fence boards....and the ability and tools to make one...

just not the time. =(

I did have the time to take a quick pic of some 

of the ironstone creamers and gravy boats we have at the shop. 

Bits of this and that.....=)

Blessings all.

Brass Numbers Patina

Remember these numbers I showed you last week??

They were bright shiny new brass numbers..

I put them in an old pan,

added my secret potion....=)

and look how they turned out.

Like?????? Well, you know what a sharhing person I am,

so my 'secret' potion is not really a secret.

Here is the link on how to rust and patina new things.


Here is another treasure I used the same 'potion' on.
This is a padlock my sweet fella took apart for me.
(I just wanted to see what the insides looked like).
These turned out differently because they were a
different kind of metal. So fun to play.=)

Enjoy, and please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

I'm on FB too. 

I'm joining Tutorial Tuesday......lots of fun ideas there!!

White Wednesday Pumpkin and More

 I have good news..and bad news.....

 The good news is...I got this terrific metal box.....

for only $1.00.

 look at all the ways it could be used for display.

cubbies to set things in, and a little shelf on top....

sideways, it has cute little shelves....

 another way to have cubbies.....

Bad news ...the guy emailed me and said it was not supposed to be sold. =(

wah, wah, wah!!!! (he had my email cause his wife is a customer at my store...)

His wife sold it by accident and it goes with some mechanics stuff.

`````````````````````````

enough bad news: good news....

I got another pumpkin done.

I think Ilike it the very best...

but then I think I say that with each one. =)

It is white velour, with hand made white doily

(made by my Mom)

Some crinkle seam binding, and some bling.

  

and here it is in a little vignette.

 

and here is just a silly little idea..

an old tool belt with crow and pumpkin in it.

You can make anything Fall just by adding some fun!!

Hope you are all having a great week.
