I swear, I'm not making Xmas items yet. I swear! This project happened quite by mistake. You see, I was trying to make a bat ornament of sorts and it ended up like this: Burlap angel wings! I'm not quite sure what went wrong with my original bat design, but the head just wasn't coming out right. So I chopped it off and have the first of many Xmas projects. So you see, I am...

French Basket
This is another garage sale makeover I did earlier this week. I picked up this wicker basket last Friday. I really loved all of the compartments in it and I wanted it to match the utensil holder I did over the summer. I gave it a few coats of robin's egg spray paint.

This was definitely a junkin' lover's dream. Checkout that vintage scale on the...

Not exactly a banner garage sale day in this neck of the woods. Maybe because it's been raining on and off all week?! I did manage to pick up a few goodies this morning: Of course, you know I never, ever pass up vintage sheet music. I got two of them today. The Romeo & Juliet book was a dime! And not sure if you can tell but that little black thing is a candleholder...
