Graceful Woman Garden Statue and a Few Chalkboards
April 11, 2014 by 17 Comments
Last weekend, I came across the first yard sale of the season. It was a small one, and didn’t have much that interested me, but I did bring home this lovely garden statue of what looks to be a Greek woman pouring water from a jug. She has a lot of wear from being out in the elements, but she reminded me of images from a Jeanne de’Arc Living magazine. I’ve listed her in my shop here, but my {Read More}
Ugly Plastic Pot Disguise…Spring Flowers in Salvaged Metal
April 10, 2014 by 13 Comments
Are there any other plant murderers out there? I hate to admit it, but I am one. Walking into a garden center, in the month of April, gets me every year. After long, dreary winter days, I am craving green plants and colorful blossoms. Despite the fact that I kill every plant I bring home, (except for the poinsettia I bought 2 Christmases ago…that thing refuses to die), I still buy new plants every spring. I’m an optimist, right? So {Read More}
Antique Bird Illustrations Instant Art Printables
April 9, 2014 by 1 Comment
Last year, about this time, I shared a bunch of beautiful bird illustrations with you, and today I have a few more. Theses are from a 1920’s book. These would be beautiful as enlarged wall prints, or a small grouping of framed prints. They would be really pretty on note cards also. You can use Picmokey to turn the two images on each page into individual images. {CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE} The other bird images can be found here, {Read More}

Old Farm Charm – a Farmhouse Industrial Water Pump Salvage Hanging Light
April 7, 2014 by 13 Comments
One of the wonderful things about living in farming country, is finding wonderful relics from old farmhouses. A few months ago, I brought home 3 fabulous salvaged metal pieces. Can any of you recognize what they originally were? If you live in farm country, you probably have seen them attached to a water pump, like this one. These were used to draw water from cisterns or ponds, Our old farmhouse in Missouri had one in the enclosed porch, that had {Read More}
Salvaged Wood Display Shelf
April 5, 2014 by 19 Comments
Yawn…I must be getting old, because I used to work on projects until the wee hours of the morning, but lately I can barely keep my eyes open until 10. I’m hoping once the daylight starts lasting longer, I’ll have more energy, because I am a night owl by nature, and can’t seem to accomplish much lately. That has absolutely nothing to do with today’s post, it just explains to you why if you notice me posting less frequently, it’s because {Read More}
Antique Graphics Shrinky Dinks Jewelry & Magnets
April 3, 2014 by 19 Comments
There are days when painting something sounds like work because of all the clean-up involved, and days when the sewing machine and I are at odds with each other, and days when getting my hands filthy from handling rusty stuff, just sounds gross. On days like that, projects that require nothing more than my scissors, printer and oven, sound perfect. I was sorting through some supplies, and saw a package of Shrinky Dinks that I bought months ago, and playing {Read More}
