Remember the little wood tray I picked up over the weekend at a local garage sale? It has officially become part of my beachy porch. I wanted a little tray to serve drinks and snacks on and well, this was just perfect. I gave it a fresh coat of white paint (a couple actually), did a little sanding around the edges and added the lobster image (from the Graphics Fairy). I used waterslide decal paper...
Garage Sale Finds
May 19, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Between track, little league and Cub Scouts, I haven't had time to hit too many garage sales. I did pop by one yesterday on our way back from track practice. Scooped up a few goodies for about $5. I love the vintage look of the Toilettes sign. I can't resist little wood trays so that got snatched up too. My hubby collects salt & pepper shakers so I grabbed the fish ones for him. The...

I printed out this great French image from The Graphics Fairy onto iron-on transfer paper. And voila! Instant French placemats. I would have liked to make the image a little bigger but I only had one sheet of transfer paper left so I had to use the 3"x4"...

Lookie what my Dad made for me! Another whale for my beachy porch! Yesterday was his 76th birthday and I swear this man has not lost his craft mojo. I can't wait to hang him up! Jeanine ...
Buggy Lavender Sachets
May 13, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Happy Monday everyone! The hubby should be home in a day or two and we're very excited. I haven't been able to do much crafting but I did make these sweet buggy lavender sachets last night. I sell sachets in my Etsy shop in sets of three. I had these two leftover and not one to let things go to waste, I turned them into dryer sachets for our house. I hand-stamped a dragonfly on...
