It’s been several weeks since I posted a “Get the Look” project, but I came across this set of 3 Sheep Shears on Stands sold by Relique for $199.  I have several pairs of old sheep shears, so I thought I’d make a stand for one of them. I tried to figure out a way to make a similar stand and thought metal hooks used for pegboards might work, but I couldn’t find hooks long enough, so I decided to come {Read More}

Normally on Thursday, I like to share “Get the Look” projects with you, but I didn’t get around to doing the projectI had planned, so I’m going to show you somethingI did make this week. A few nights ago, in the wee hours of the morning, when all normal people  are sleeping, the button bug bit me again. Actually, this time it was a button and banner bug. It’s been months since I made a banner,  but I helped my mom {Read More}

I’ve come across quite a few old bushel baskets before, but this is the first time I’ve come across a “peck” container. Isn’t it cute filled with old books & some flowers?

I stopped at a yard sale yesterday and found several old things and bits and pieces that I like to have on hand for projects. When I spotted these 3 old trophies, I liked the cows and the patina they had, so I decided to buy them to sell in my shop.  When I took them to the elderly man to pay, I asked him if they were his trophies.  He responded that they were. I asked him if he {Read More}

It’s good to be home! Two of my three older kids celebrated my return by abandoning me for the evening. Can you imagine?  They thought an evening of swing dancing in a park sounded like more fun than staying home with mom. Humpppfff….I’ll remember that. My oldest son had an excuse for being gone –  he had to work, but he didn’t call me the entire week I was gone, so my Christmas list should be pretty short this year. {Read More}

My son and I are on the last leg of our trip and will be home in a few hours. It was so good to spend time with my family, but it will be good to get home to my husband and other kids.  Forgive any typos in this post – it’s hard to type on a moving train. I wanted to share with you some glimpses of the interesting  little community where my sister and her family, as well as {Read More}

I love getting my hands on vintage frames that no longer hold photos or artwork. They may be empty, but they hold so much promising potential. With new artwork inside or converted into chalkboards,they take on a whole new look, but often they are a work of art all by themselves,and look beautiful left empty – by themselves or in a grouping. Sometimes I paint them, sometimes they don’t need an ounce of help from me. Here are a few {Read More}
