I got nothing. Seriously, I haven't had a chance or opportunity for any great Goodwill or garage sale makeovers in the past week. I sit in my craft room/office looking woefully around and thinking to myself: "I got nothing." Every weekend in July it seems we had something going on so I'm hoping August will slow down just a bit... Anywho, I did manage to whip up a couple of new tins for my Etsy...
**Thank you to everyone who let me know it was Michele Raven Designs blog that I drew my inspiration from!** I can't for the life of me remember which blog showed a beautiful farmhouse basket with a stenciled number on it. If that's you, please drop me a note and let me know as you are the inspiration for this post! I picked up this basket at a garage sale a couple of weeks ago. ...
Happy Sunday everyone! The boys are back home and everything is back to normal in the house. =) I'm also excited to share my latest Goodwill makeover.

So of course when I popped by the local thrift store today, guess what I found? Yup, you guessed it: more vintage Jello molds. Ha! ...
Woohoo! Sorry but I can't contain my excitement that the men are away for the weekend. Of course I miss my little guys terribly but I'm getting so much done since they left this morning. Finally, some much-needed craft time! I literally just finished up these Goodwill picture frames a little while ago. Here is the before with the lovely 3-tier pastry thing-y I also picked up from GW. That's undergoing it's own makeover tonight! But before I...
I stopped in our local Home Goods over the weekend and spotted a cute little glass dome butter dish. For $3.99, I thought it was a steal. No, not for butter but to use as a petite glass cloche! I laid a vintage doily on the bottom of the dish. Then I added a skeleton key and a distressed French poetry page. Everything fits perfectly! And it's the ideal size to display on my vintage book stack!...
