A craft, food, fashion, home & shopping blog

Brrrrr...still in a deep freeze here.  Not feeling overly creative so sharing some Valentine's Day touches around the house.
I use this for Xmas too.  Sheet music scrolls in an upcycled can. Now holding a heart pen one of my boys gave me a couple of years ago.
Valentine touches in the corner cabinet.  I love breaking out these vintage Valentines each year.
The handwritten notes from the children to their friends are so sweet.
They don't make cards like this anymore, do they?
Best estate sale find ever!  I got a bag of them for $1 if I remember correctly.  And two thrift store finds from this morning.
The wheels are already turning for the wood plaque.  Thinking of painting it white and then adding a first aid look to it for our bathroom.  It cost me 50 cents for BOTH!

We're gearing up for yet another snow storm here.  Sigh.  I'm sooooo ready for spring.  This weather has put me in a bit of a funk. 
I have the motivation; I just don't seem to have the desire to go shopping (someone call the doctor quick!).  So I've been working with whatever I have in the house and re-making some items I've worked on before.
I picked up this vintage wood frame from a garage sale a few years ago.  I had originally given it a burlap back and it had a little nest attached to it.
Over the weekend, off came the nest and burlap.  I put chalkboard paper in its place and now I have a sweet, little chalkboard frame for the kitchen counter.

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.

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.
