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!
