chair...

I went to a ladies shed yesterday, you know, where they say they are getting rid of everything, and then.....
they don't want to sell anything...lol...or...
they want $400 for a dresser that is missing parts and has been in the shed for thirty years...hahaha!
I did find a couple things,
one is this chair, I swear, I think it is beautiful!!!!!


I love the cross on the back!



and the worn burlap!


swoon!!!
but of course I can't keep it, I have no!! room,
so, I am going to take it to my booth to see if anyone see's the beauty that I see, and falls in love!!!!
so, should I leave it as is?


or tuck some succulants into the holes,


for a garden chair?
what do you think?
thanks

wedding signs...


I had a request to make some wedding signs...


this is the inspiration photo she sent me...
isn't this a great idea?
(she didn't send me the source, so if you know, let me know, I would love to give credit to them)


and here is the ones I made her...
she supplied the paint in the colors she wanted...


painted an old frame, distressed it and added the burlap inside....


a great old mirror...


my supervisor....
who
just celebrated his 13th birthday!!!!!


piece of old fence, and used construction glue and glued the plate and vintage silverware onto it...


this was a fun thing to do!!!!!
wish they had these great ideas when I got married!!!!

lampshades...

well I have been seeing all these super cute hanging lampshades, and thought I would make some too.
you just need an old lampshade and strip all the fabric off, they sell hanging light kits at Home Depot, and your imagination...


this one I just used a vintage petticoat for the shade...




and for the burlap lover, I just weaved this strapping...


super easy!!!!
