Being snowed in for the last several days has given me lots of time to be productive and I’ve brought home bunches of “stuff” from auctions & thrift stores recently, including a plank of antique barn wood and a bunch of antique bread pans. I love turning bread pans into wall bins, and the barn wood was the perfect backing to connect them to. PIN IT! It is classic barn red, and the wood is wonderfully aged. I love the {Read More}
Repurposed Book Page Canvas Hymn Art
February 6, 2014 by 18 Comments
Last week, a customer asked me to create a canvas art with book pages and an antique map, and since I had all the supplies out, I decided to add book pages to several other canvases at the same time. I wanted to do something different than a map on the other ones, and decided to try painting words over the book pages. “It Is Well With My Soul” is one of my favorite hymns, so I selected a font {Read More}
Vintage Postage Stamps Printables – {Antique Graphics Wednesday}

I think all stamps are miniature works of art, and I love the graphics on these Special Delivery postage stamps from the 1950’s. I think they’re perfect for some Valentine’s Day projects. The red stamp is a JPEG and the blue one is a PNG. Blessings,

Antique Grain Sack Style Pillows

Several years ago, a customer inquired about having a large antique wingback chair I had for sale in my shop shipped to her. The shipping to her California address was very high on the chair, so I wasn’t able to sell it to her, but she place a large order of other items. She contacted me again and asked if I’d be interested in trading more of my products for an antique grain sack pillow that she designs and sells {Read More}

On the Workbench and In the Shop
January 31, 2014 by 7 Comments
As usual, it’s been a busy week, with lots of projects occupying my kitchen table. I’m SO ready for spring, so I can get back out to work in my workshop, so our kitchen table and counters aren’t always covered with my projects, but since it isn’t yet February, I guess my table will be a mess for awhile longer. I love turning glass cheese domes into display cloches. Frequently, I just repaint the bases and sell them like that, {Read More}
Grain Sack Typography Chair

I love going to auctions and bidding on broken things, because I know those are the things that not many others will bid on, so I can get a good deal. Last month, I bought a pair of antique caned chairs at an auction. It appears that someone started the job of recaning them, but never finished. I thought about trying to learn to cane them myself, but I knew the chances of that happening anytime in the near future {Read More}
