Wine Bottle Vase

Happy Sunday!

How have you been?
I would be better, but it is snowing today in Michigan!
Dark, gloomy, windy  & snowing!
Winter really does hold on until the last possible moment for us.

I am so ready for Spring!
I keep adding touches of it here and there throughout our home with flowers and new house plants. I do not have much of a green thumb, but I keep trying!

One way I added some Spring to our house is with this wine bottle vase.

I originally saw this simple craft at Shanty-2-Chic!

It was so fun and easy to make!

Just a few hardware pieces from your local home maintenance store

& a 18 inch board is all you need!

I also love that you really can use a variety of flower stems in it!

What Spring projects have you been working on?

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Wednesday!

I love to find vintage goods at thrift stores, flea markets, and yard sales. It is one of my most favorite past times! I am often on the look out for interesting items to fill my Etsy shop.

I accumulated these three painting at different times over the Summer & Fall. My intention was to add them to my shop, but I kept setting them aside holding off on posting them.

I was working on some photos last week for a shop update and again was having a hard time including them in my shop items. I decided I would put them together on the wall to see if I liked them.

I have to say that I love them together!
I love the colors and eclectic vintage mix.

They are keepers!

Thanks for stopping by!

Scenes from my Weekend

Simple Fun With Crayons

Vintage Crate Shelves

Happy Monday!

Have I told you before how much I love finding a new use for old things? One of my favorite things to find from thrift stores, flea markets and yard sales are old wooden crates. Size or shape does not matter! I always find a use for a good old crate!

When putting our “all purpose” room together I wanted to display some of my eclectic collections. I thought that using a few of the various crates I had accumulated would be a fun way to do this.

My little helper wanted to smile for you all!

The shelves are full of so many things I love! Old tin, crayons, milk glass, heart stones, old books… so many things!

Thanks for stopping by!

Favorite Thrift Find

Happy Wednesday!

I wanted to share today one of my favorite thrift finds!

I have been on the look out for an owl cookie jar for quite a while now. I had searched Etsy over and over for one, but they were always too expensive for my taste.

Then I found this…

for this price…!

I was somewhat giddy with excitement! I couldn’t believe that what I had been looking for was right there for that price!

 

Just another one of the many reasons why I love thrifting!

What are your favorite thrift finds?

Thanks for stopping by!

Simple Shutter Organizer

Happy Monday!

How was your weekend?

It was a cold snowy weekend here in Michigan! The kind that make you just want to stay inside. Which is exactly what we did all weekend!

No shame in being homebodies! My introverted ways actually need full weekends at home once in awhile.

Have I ever shared how much I love to repurpose things into something new?

After hosting the Let’s Create! Jewelry Organizer Event, I had a a handful of door knobs still in my crafting supplies and needed a use for them.

I painted up a couple old shutters and added an assortment of knobs to them. I made one for me and a friend wanted one for her entry way too.

I love how they both turned out!

I hung mine by the back entrance coming into our kitchen.

It has been a great landing place as we unload coming into the house.

We use it everyday!

What have you repurposed lately? I would love for you to share in a comment!

Thanks for stopping by!
