an old book~
old lunch box ~ holds some of my crafty supplies.
This wreath has some old numbers my hubby took off of old salvaged telephone poles on our property.
This is a fave of mine~old dishes made into a three tier cutie, to hold scrappy stuff, buttons etc. The top tier is a jello mold from long ago.
Orginal tart pans from Sweeden and very old material ~ made into pin cushions.
Another fave a Chandlier crystal wrapped with silver wire to make a pendant for a necklace!!
Orginal book cover that had lost it's insides~so I made a journal out of it. The name of the book is "Polly Anna" ~
The cutest little "silver" spoon sewed on this pin cushion to hold extra buttons.
Old enamel lid used to hold a pair of scissors.
The little dish on the bottom is old and adorable. I also used old empty wooden thread spools.
I'm glad you stopped in today~I have such a fun time doing this blog hop with Shimelle. I have some "goodies" to give away {and they are good "goodies"}leave me a comment and follow my blog and your in. I will pick a winner or two and announce on Tuesday's {Try It Tuesday} blog post.

Hi Connie, just dropped by from Paper Bakery; sure glad I did since I LOVE altered items. Oh boy am I going to scour my home for fun items to alter; love all the little dishes, I'm sure I can find a few of those! Looking forward to seeing your DT project at PB too!

They are all great. I really like the first little book and the three tier dishes.
ReplyDeleteI love repurposing things to make them new. I found a old wooden wine crate used to hold one or two bottles of wine for gift giving, it now holds my ephemera for my art journals and canvas. I tore up some old sheet music and mod podged it on the top with a group of girls dancing. Like new!
ReplyDeleteGreat repurposed items. I really like the old book & book cover & that three tiered dish. I have a couple of three tiered items that we made from old china - hadn't thought to use one for crafty items.
ReplyDeleteWow, these are all STUNNING! I couldn't pick a fave as they are all so wonderful. What a talent you have.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit Connie. It's a good thing you did so I get to see your Fab Ten Things. Not even sure which one is my fave because they're all amazingly beautiful! Love vintage and love how you turned these to treasures. Thank you for sharing.
