I know most people love glitter, but I rarely use it, because I end up with glitter in my hair, glitter glued to my table, and somehow even my animals end up sporting glitter, but there’s just something about the holidays that requires a little sparkle that only glitter can give. Today’s Glittered Letter Apothecary Bottle banner is super easy, and requires only a few supplies.

Nativity Silhouette Candle Holder – 12 Days of Christmas {day 3}
November 22, 2014 by 11 Comments
We don’t have recycling pickup, since we live outside the city limits, which is why you will frequently see projects created by me from things most people take to the recycling center – like tin cans and glass jars. That means I have lots of tin cans and jars to craft with…lots. If you save glass jars too, this Day 3 project for my 12 Days of Christmas celebration is for you! I almost feel guilty calling it a “project”, because {Read More}
Vintage Inspiration Party #164 – lots of Vintage Christmas Decor!
November 18, 2014 by 13 Comments
Welcome back to the Vintage Inspiration Party! This is my favorite time of year to host the VIP, because there are always lots of great ideas shared for using Vintage Christmas Decor in your home (or non-Christmas vintage decor USED as Christmas decor!). You’ll see that there’s no reason to take down your regular decor to get ready for the holidays – just “festive” it up! Before we get started with the party, I want to invite you to join me, {Read More}
Farmhouse Meets Industrial Wall Bins
November 17, 2014 by 17 Comments
Obviously, farmhouse style is my favorite style, but if I had a 2nd home, I would go a totally different direction with it. Should living in the country ever become too much work to maintain as my husband and I get older, I dream of finding an old building in a downtown district – one with brick walls, exposed metal pipes and wood floors – loaded with industrial style. Since I can’t have both, I have to find ways to introduce {Read More}

Old Barn Pulleys and Hooks
November 10, 2014 by 12 Comments
Several years ago, I used to come home from auctions with a full pickup of all the bids I had won, but my workshop is overflowing with things waiting their turn for me to do something with them, so these days, I’m a little pickier about what I bring home. Often, things are sold by the box, so even if you really only want one thing in the box. I used to bring home those full boxes full of “stuff”, {Read More}
An Identity Crisis and more Tiered Stands
November 6, 2014 by 52 Comments
You’ve all seen my tiered stands before, so rather than talk too much about my latest batch, I want to address an issue you might be wondering about – am I going nuts? To clarify, if you are a regular reader of my blog, I’m sure you noticed that just about every time you visit, something looks different, and it looks like I’m having an identity crisis. I’ll spare you the longggg story, but did want to explain what I’m doing, and ask {Read More}

Chippy Wood and Vintage Plates Wall Display

When my mom and I hung antique Bible pages on my living room walls a few years ago, I used a few illustrated pages on a small strip of wall between the hallway, and a closet. Although the images were beautiful, I’ve always wished that I hadn’t used them, and just put the regular text pages there instead. They just look a bit out of place in my living room. I still have a few pages left from that Bible, {Read More}
