Blissful White Project

had this idea for old bed springs, and stuff....

 

 
laid it out on the cement to see what it would look like,
the used old rusty stapes, which I cut shorter,
and hammered in to keep it in place,

 on an old bee keep lid.

It is a "Spring Tree". =)

Do you love it?

(I was going to add burlap knots to it,

 but decided I love it just as it's old rusty self.)

all for today.

be blessed and thanks for coming by

Beautiful Whites & Creams

 We had our Vendor Market last Saturday,

and this is the Outdoor Bedroom we put together for it.

I've wanted to do it for along time,

and this time finally got it together, with help from my Mom

and my friend who helped me with the sale, before and during.

The back drop is a section of fence I got from a friend.

We added curtains across the top, using some shelf brackets,

and let kt drape down on the sides.

An old headboard and food board, attached to some old springs made the bed.

Then we added burlap and a wonderful crocheted table cloth to the top if it.

(Love burlap and lace together).

We added pillows....

 

(more burlap and lace)

  and some decor to the headboard. Old sconces and a picture of Jesus.

Then put a tray covered with music paper, an old stoneware plate,

book and gloves too.

I love how it all turned out.....We are leaving it up for awhile,

 but all the parts are for sale.. When they are gone we will be 

able to put some other cuteness

together,

but I'm in no hurry. =)

Be blessed everyone,

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.

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...

blessings all
