I've been a bit under the weather this week. It's been a germ-fest over here and I have not been immune. Still, I worked up some energy last night to give a French-y makeover to this metal bottle holder I got from The Christmas Tree Shoppes last year. I bought the great Paris postmark from Etsy (graphique.etsy.com). I simply printed it out on regular white paper and distressed the edges. I mod podged an image...
Hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day! I was in chocolate heaven thanks to my hubby and boys. In between my candy fixes, I decided to use an Ikea dish towel to make a faux grain sack pillow: At first I was going to make it into a tote bag but I just wasn't feeling it.

I used to display these vintage-ish milk bottles on our kitchen cabinets, but since the kitchen redo, they've been quietly sitting in our basement. I stumbled across them yesterday and thought bottles this wonderful should not be banished to the basement.
