It's snowing here and boy am I glad I was able to get in some spray painting on Saturday before the temperature dropped! This is another salvaged piece from my late mother-in-law's house. She had some dried flowers in there but I took it a part and gave it a quick makeover. The frame was originally gold but I gave it two coats of flat white spray paint. While that was drying, I used a...
There is just something about these petite cups and saucers that scream Valentine's Day to me. They were my mother-in-law's. We saved them from the house after the hurricane and my bad, they've been sitting in our garage for weeks. I broke them out today and played around with them a bit. They are just too sweet to put away. She had them on a metal stand which is a bit rusty now. I'm trying...
Sweet and simple for Valentine's Day. Romeo & Juliet book paper, stamps, key and red tea-stained seam binding. Heart image from the Graphics Fairy. Down with another winter cold and all I could muster up. =) Jeanine ...

Romeo & Juliet Match Boxes
Another dreary weekend in our neck of the woods. Not very conducive in the inspiration department. I broke out the last of my Dollar Store match boxes and gave them a quick Valentine's Day spin using some vintage Romeo & Juliet book paper. My mother would kill me if she saw how I tear apart books but sometimes I just can't resist. I cut each page to fit the size of the match boxes. Then...
Once again drawing inspiration from Pinterest for this little project. I had bought a couple of paper mache-ish top hats before the holidays. I never got around to decorating them for Xmas. Plan B: use them for Valentine's Day! I only have this one finished so far. It's the bigger of the two I bought. I used some vintage sheet music for the top and brim. Wow, what a pain that was! Then I covered...
