Dreamy White, Garden Idea, and STOP.

Workin' on this lamp shade.
Someone wants the lamp,
but there was no shade.

So I'm havin' fun playin'.
Grabbed a table runner,
lace flower I'd made,
some jewelry.
all just pinned on for now, but lovin' it!!!

Tried some different pins.

close up of flower and pin.

I also got a new old door,
and see that screen frame hangin' on it?
Cool, huh?

My white bargain this week.
$1.00 store tea pots for 90 cents.
(store closing, 10% off)
Hey, a dime is a dime.
Got six for my little teas.

Fun outdoor idea.

Saw this contraption while walking.
The lady said her 9 year old son made it.
Used a hand truck, scooter, board, seat.

Gave me an idea.
How about a hand truck.....
with a wooden box of flowers on it.
(you could use an old crate)
You could move it around to wherever you want.

(not done yet but you can imagine) =)

And here is my red.

STOP!! Doing so many things!!
a word to myself this morning.


I'm linking up with the parties below.
Please go visit and thank the wonderful hostesses.

Hope you all have a blessed Wednesday.

Gems, Sand, and, yo yo?

Remember the boxes of jewelry I got last month?
Two boxes, full of goodies for $5 each.
Well I've been sorting.
I got about 12 baggies of 'stuff'. =)

Here is just one baggy of goodies laid out.
So fun.
I got baggies full of earrings, chains, necklaces, pins...
Some great, some broken pieces, some just junk.
So fun going through them.

Here is a fun little idea.
I have a little jar like this at the shop.
It has cuff links and tie tacks in it.
People love digging through it,
and for 50 cents each, taking home a treasure.
One gal got 4 new tie tacks for her husband.

So, I thought, my grand kids would love
having a jar like that. Now when I garage sale,
I pick up little pieces of jewelry and throw it in the jar.
It's a treat whenever they come over.
hmmm. idea! There were bunches of nice earrings
with no mate in those boxes too.
Think I'll start an earring jar. =)

Then I saw this idea!!
I'm not making watches, but thought
what great things to choose from for charm bracelets!
Will I get any done?? Don't know, but sure fun to gather for it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

display idea:

Sold this cute kids wheelbarrow.....

so improvised and put this little coastal bowl together.
(you could do the same thing with an old box,
enamel pan, or whatever you have.
Just dump in sand, shells, a bottle, even some pearls!)

My Blue Monday " Nature"? find while out walking. =)

Joining some of these parties today.
Please go visit our wonderful hostesses.

PS
I am going to do a Celebration Game on my store blog this week.
Stay tuned!!

Fun Garden Ideas

Unusual Garden Decor.
A very old weathered crib.
I have plans for this if someone does not snatch it up first.

Here is another fun piece to work on.
Any ideas??

Old clunky steps to a bed,
a little step ladder.
Anything goes in garden display.

Old boxes and barrels, iron tables, old pumps,
and rusty shovels.
all fun in the garden.

Love white picket fences.
Can't have a whole one around your yard?
Just lean a section up as a backdrop.
Fun Planters: old tool and tackle boxes

How about a broken finial,
and a cement bookend for garden treasures.

Hope you found some 'outside the box' ideas here.

I'm joining with Funky Junk Interiors.

Hope you will go see Donna, and
all the great ideas posted on her site.
