I do love working with what I already have but I hope this funk (and the snow!) passes quickly.

I've had these petite peat pots since summer. I picked them up at an estate sale and just kind of forgot about them. While I was re-arranging my craft room/office, I saw them and decided to make some sweet new religious ones.
I've used these images before. I bought them from Etsy and they are teeny tiny but perfect for these little pots. I started by painting each pot white.
Then I printed out my images onto tissue paper. Using Mod Podge, I glued them to the front of each pot. I added rhinestone embellishments to two of them.
Each pot is filled with faux moss (from the Dollar store) and French book paper.
I also tucked in some random pieces like a vintage hotel tag, angel and a new religious necklace I made earlier this week.
It's made using an Tim Holtz enamel tag. I picked up a 6 pack of them at Michael's earlier this month. I used another tissue paper image and Mod Podge.

This is quite possibly the cutest Valentine's Day printable ever! Found on Pinterest. Love it!

Whenever I'm at the Dollar store, I always scoop up a bunch of prayer candles. You just never know when inspiration will hit, so I like to have them readily available. Case in point, these LOVE candles.
I used some dictionary paper and this great image I got from Etsy. I simply printed the image onto the dictionary paper and used Glue Dots to attach to each candle.
I just had to add some bling - the red rhinestones fit perfectly on the O.
Now I have some pretty new candles for Valentine's Day that only cost $2.

A local hardware store was having a basement sale today. I caught the ad on Craigslist and after my son's basketball game, we popped over. I wasn't really sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised.
Tons of old brass letters. And I got the crates that hold them as well. I didn't see too many vowels but I still have to flip through them.
I picked up a few vintage frames. The little one is pewter. It's missing its glass insert but I think it's still a great find. I've been looking for a letter holder. This one was only $1.
See the glass "cup"? It's actually a glass mason jar funnel. I never heard of such a thing before. I was intrigued so I grabbed one. My husband also picked up some vintage aluminum plates, which I didn't get a chance to photograph.
In other news, I've opened up a new Etsy shop: OkioBVintage. I've already added some of these vintage finds to it. I still have my original shop, but I've been wanting to create a new one dedicated to only vintage items. Wish me luck!

I am so lost in the fabric store. Truly, no lie. We have a great little one not too far from our house. I popped in on Monday because I needed muslin for my Etsy shop.
Usually I bring in a piece of what I need, but this time I thought I could wing it. I mean how many different types of muslin can there be? Clearly, a lot. I came home with the wrong kind. Worst part, I didn't realize it until I began cutting and tearing it.
I couldn't possibly bring it back after I tortured the poor thing. When life hands you lemons, this crafter decided to turn them into lavender sachets. Yup, some new lavender sachets for my shop.
And if you're wondering what was wrong with the muslin in the first place, it is a bit thin and sheer for my original needs. But works perfectly for sachets.
Score! Lemonade anyone?
