Book Page Photo Backdrop

I like to have a variety of photo backdrops to use, and one of my favorite backdrops has always been the Bible page walls in my living room, seen above my favorite wooden table. We rearranged our living room some time ago, and my piano desk now sits in front of that wall, and I’ve missed being able to use those pages as a photo backdrop, so I decided to make one that is easy to pull out when I need it. {Read More}

Vintage Cradle Makeover

After sharing the adorable little toddler’s chair with you recently (which sold!), I felt motivated to work on this vintage cradle I bought during the summer.    I brainstormed a few ideas about turning it into something different, like a shelf, but I finally decided to update the look with paint, and add a little detail. I used Prairie Sunset color by Fusion Mineral Paint that is such a soft, pretty yellow.  I did just a bit of distressing to keep its {Read More}

Upcoming Projects

In the midst of all the cleaning and decluttering I’m doing around my house, I need to take lots of breaks to keep my sanity, so I thought I’d share a few upcoming projects I’m working on in between. This drawer came from the front of an antique sewing machine table.  It’s very pretty, but is missing the decorative side pieces, so I’m working to transform it into something new and useful.  I’m also working on the sewing machine table base, but {Read More}

Organization Labels to Control Clutter in the Heap of Change Challenge

Most people have a junk drawer, but I have multiple junk drawers, junk trays and junk bowls.  I can fill nearly an empty container with junk.  Case in point.  Here’s one of my trays full of junk.  I love using rusty little bits and pieces for projects, but finding what I need, when I need it is a challenge – especially because I have LOTS more stashes just like it.  So, when Donna @ Funky Junk asked if I wanted to co-host {Read More}

Free Printable Antique Jello Advertisement

Isn’t this antique jello advertisement adorable?  It came from an early 1920’s magazine in my collection.  I think it would look wonderful framed as a kitchen wall print. {CLICK ON IMAGE TO VIEW AND SAVE AT ORIGINAL SIZE} It think this would also make a nice iron-on transfer image, so here is the reverse version of it.

Antique Clock Face Printable and Tin Can Craft

I’ve been tinkering around with some of my antique clock face images, and turned them into a collage that could be used for all kinds of projects.  I never tire of tin can craft projects, and I’ve been in need of more wall organizers, so I finished a new organizer, using one of the collages, and have the free printable to share with you!

Going Home …

I’ve heard it said that you can never go home again, but I beg to differ.  Let me explain… Those of you who have followed my blog for awhile, may recall that a little over a year ago, my cousin lost her home, and most of her belongings, when a tornado struck her town, and nearly wiped out her neighborhood.   This is the same town I grew up near, and went to high school in.  If you missed that post, the {Read More}

Antique Hymn Page – Let the Lower Lights be Burning

Here’s a lovely antique hymn page from the early 1900’s.  I think this would look lovely as an image transfer onto a candle (tutorial HERE).  Enjoy! Blessings,
