Altered things


The next few pictures will be of frames I redone. This one I painted and distressed it. Added french script paper and a doily and a key.


One of these I painted and distressed the frame, added music paper, doily, key and a key hole. The other one I crackled, added blue paper doily, key and key hole.


Both of these frames I crackled, added the paper and doily's and the keys.


The next few pictures will be of burlap bags that I did. This one I added lace and a lace flower with a pin in the center.


I did this one a lot different, by adding a picture and roses, buttons and of course some lace.


I printed the picture off of the computer. I love wicker and the babies are in a wicker buggy. I added lace buttons and a key.


I had all these square boxes of different shapes. So I papered them in a victorian paper, and trimmed them in lace.


Now for the next project. I started doing cans. This one is crackled and then I decorated it.


Three other cans I decorated. I guess now I will be saving cans. Just the ones that are different sizes.

Antique birdcage


This is what I bought at the mud sale. I really wanted it. Love it. 

A close up of the birdcage. It is so neat.

Yard sales


On Sat. Laurie and I went to a vintage yard sale. This is what I bought. In the front is vintage hardware, then a doily, a vintage metal tray(not sure what I am going to use it for), and in the back are my vintage dishes, which I just love.


This is a close up of m dishes. They are trimmed in 22kar. gold. So no putting them in the microwave.


I bought this last year at a yard sale for 3$'s. I was going to repurpose it, but not sure. If I do I will post a picture of it. But as for now, not sure.

Vintage Scales

This is my latest find. I saw this scale at the antique market, and just had to have it. This is a little vignette I have in my bathroom. As you can see in the picture, I also like birdcages and birdhouses, and of course the doily's.
