I’m on a bit of a family photos binge, ever since I took ours a few weeks ago.  I always put them on our Christmas cards each year, but I rarely do anything else with them – not even print and frame them.  After all the agony I went through getting this year’s photos, I was on a quest to actually do something with our photos, so I could display them in our home, and I came up with a {Read More}

Welcome back to the Vintage Inspiration Party!  We’re glad you joined us!  I’m happy to welcome Marianne, @ Songbird as a co-host of the VIP!  Marianne lives in the Netherlands, and I’m excited about the features she picked for us this week. Before we start the party, I forgot to announce the winner of the Easy Canvas Prints Giveaway yesterday.  The winner is Rachel Bear @  Olde Windmill Farmhouse.   Congratulations Rachel! By the way, if you are still sporting my old Knick of Time {Read More}

This beautiful image, showing all the star constellations seen in the Northern and South Hemispheres, is a book plate that came from an old dictionary  It would make a wonderful poster, and it enlarges beautifully up to 18″ x 24″ (you’ll need to trim the sides a little).  You could even print it as a wallet size image to take outdoors, because it includes the numbered map with names, so you can use it to identify constellations as well. {click {Read More}

On Saturday, I shared a free printable of a photo I took of an old barn near us, and promised to show you what I did with the image.   I turned it into a wall hook, using some salvaged wood that was inside our barn!  I’m not sure what the wood was from originally, but there was a decent size stack of it in the loft of our barn when we moved in, which I didn’t even realize until I {Read More}

I’ve been working on some new photo image transfer projects recently.  Usually, I transfer my images onto wood, but a customer requested one on canvas, which I hadn’t done before, so I wanted to try it.  I love how it turned out.

Recently, I told my Facebook fans that as soon as my page hit 10,000 followers, I’d have a giveaway to celebrate, and we reached that milestone today! Easy Canvas Prints is generously offering  a 16 x 20 free custom photo canvas with free shipping to the winner, a prize valued at $90.

Welcome back to the Vintage Inspiration Party (VIP)!  So glad to have you join us!  Your links will show up on 3 blogs, Knick of Time, My Salvaged Treasures and Beyond the Picket Fence, and next week we have another incredible blog joining us as a co-host! I was just thinking about the “initials” VIP, and aside from Vintage Inspiration Party, it could also stand for Very Incredible Projects, because I’m amazed each week at all the creative repurposed and upcycled projects {Read More}

Several years ago, I brought home a pitiful little antique rocking horse from an auction.  My plan was to try to replace his missing and broken legs, strip off what was left of the loose veneer on the sides and repaint him, but I never got around to doing it.  Eventually, I did remove the rocking base, and used it to make an Apothecary Bottle Display, but the rest of it has just been hanging on a wall in my {Read More}
