White Wednesday Little Idea

This is one of those little napkin holders.

You know, you put the napkins in and

the little loopy thing holds them down so the

 wind does not blow them away?

Well, here is a simple repurpose.

Just hang it on the wall, and fill with little treasures.

The loopy thing becomes a cute decoration on the wall

and the basket part holds cuteness.

It's small so it will fit just about anywhere.

Oh, would have been cute with a little

something clipped to the loopy thing,

or some ribbon.Next time. =)

Now if you love white....

head on over to Faded Charm

for more wonderful white treasures.

PS I finally got my typewriter parts ready to sell.

They are here if you want to look at them.

Makin' Shelves, the easy way, and a question

This is an upside down hose hanger.
Add a board, and you have....
a shelf.
Sometimes you just have to think out of the box.
(click to see it better)

And here is a wall sconce.
Use two of them...
add a board.....

another shelf!!
How quick and simple is that?

nothing on it yet. ran out of time.
Here is my fave find for this weekend.

I bought a cute vintage doll bed, and this sweet little guy.
The doll was separate.
(like you could not tell. no pink beds for my little guy).

His clothes were hand made by the little girl who owned the doll,
when she was 8.
So fun to talk to her and her Mom.
Sad, I thought, to be selling him, and her other dolls,
but they had to size down to move.
She has kept it all in wonderful condition.
(he even has little brown socks.
I'll need to find shoes for him.)


Look at the detail on his little hand
(he lost the pinky on his other hand. I did not ask how.)

And don't you just love that sweet face?

He is my first boy doll.
And here is his new home at the shop.
Don't expect he'll last long.

Joining these great hostesses today.
Hope you will go check them out.

OH. My question.
How would you make a pair of new
white metal shelf brackets look old?
