I'm not sure where I picked up these fleur de lis candle holders. I believe it was a couple of years ago at Big Lots. Anywho, the candles got a little icky and wouldn't light anymore. The glass has a kind of iridescent glow to it. A little boring if you ask me so I got busy preparing for a quickie makeover. After removing all of the gross wax, I gave each a couple of coats...
Just a few random pieces I worked on earlier this week. I bought these spice jars a couple of weeks ago at a garage sale. Now they are all dressed up in their Frenchy best. Another upcycled garage/estate sale find. I have a larger one I'm also working on. Tea, anyone? Love this stamp from Hobby Lobby. Also used it on some glassine sacks. Hoping to hit some more sales tomorrow! Jeanine ...
We had a lot of fun junkin' in Winchester over the weekend (even though it was 100 degrees). Here's what I grabbed while we were there. Love these vintage tags! The flower frog was only $5 which I thought was a steal and the iron foot form was only $3. I'd never seen an iron one before. I have two wood ones in the house so this was a nice find. Plan on using it...
We just got back from a wonderful road trip to Virginia (Winchester). My sister, Trish lives there and we try to visit her at least twice a year with the boys. In addition to good conversation and some good eats, lookie what I found... Hobby Lobby! First time I ever went to one and my-oh-my, now I know what all you other ladies have been gushing about. I could NOT contain my excitement! My hubby...
I wasn't able to go garage sale shopping last weekend so I turned to items I had readily available for some quick makeovers. Yup, food cans. The big one is from a can of baked beans. The smaller is from a can of alphabet soup (my little guy's favorite!). It's amazing what a few coats of paint and some lovely French graphics can do to some lowly tin cans. The images are from The Graphics...
I'm so enamored with religious pictures and pieces these days. It's definitely reflected in some of these random projects I've been working on. This one was inspired by Rhonda from Little Bit French. She made the prettiest French journals last week that I just couldn't stop myself from pinning all over Pinterest. I actually found the religious image on Pinterest after my sister (Kathy from Creative Home Expressions) had pinned it. It's just so lovely. I've used...
