I'm a firm believer that if life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. Case in point, my broken dress form peat pot. I bought some rub-on transfers from Joann's a couple of weeks ago. Now, I'm no expert on rub-ons. I've only used them a handful of times. After rubbing for what seemed like forever, this transfer just didn't seem to be happening. So I kept at it. I must have moved it while rubbing...
We had such a crazy busy weekend that I wasn't able to take in any garage sales. Boy, am I itching! I did pop into our local church thrift store and found these two goodies. Not sure how old the jewelry piece is but I found it to be interesting and unique. Thinking about painting it white. The old compact doesn't have too many markings but it's in great condition for an old piece. I...
I used to love playing with paper dolls when I was little. I used to make my own by cutting the models out of my Mom's Spiegel catalog (remember Spiegel?????). This one I found on Pinterest and couldn't resist! I printed the template out onto cardstock and cut each part out. Then I used some brads so her arms and legs would be moveable.

It's kind of hard to tell but there is a...
Remember the little hand mirror I picked up at Goodwill that was missing the mirror? Well, here it is now. I wanted to use a Victorian image for it and found this perfect one from The Graphics Fairy. I printed it out onto cardstock and then carefully measured it so it would fit into the mirror. I used some silver glitter around the inside edges and added some rhinestones and faux pearls to each lady...
I picked up this little crate from Goodwill yesterday. I was going back and forth on whether to keep the natural color or paint it. So I did a little of both. I gave it a "white-wash" instead - basically spreading on some paint and then wiping it off to get just a hint of color. I left some of the natural wood showing too. I notice a couple of little paint oopsies but those...
