Here's an easy project for left over pieces of burlap....<br />
<br />
Simply cut your piece of burlap to fit over a piece of printer paper,<br />
then tape it to the piece of paper and feed it through your printer...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nEA_--GvU0k/UPS-BBcHt6I/AAAAAAAAEH8/qwd3GiE2K04/s1600/DSC_0004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nEA_--GvU0k/UPS-BBcHt6I/AAAAAAAAEH8/qwd3GiE2K04/s640/DSC_0004.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
I was amazed at how well the graphic printed on to the burlap. My <br />
husband was amazed (actually distraught) that I put burlap through the printer! Not <br />
sure that I'll be doing that again anytime soon ;)...<br />

<br />
How on earth did it get to be August already? My but time flies....I've been busy with<br />
the usual life stuff and having a great summer...<br />
I have long been a fan of Rachel Ashwell & have<br />
just returned from a trip to California where I got to FINALLY get to one of<br />
her amazing <a href="https://www.rachelashwellshabbychiccouture.com/">SHABBY COUTURE</a> stores (in Santa Monica). It was<br />
heaven on earth!<br />
I will post some pictures of<br />
my new Rachel Ashwell shabby chic bedding one day soon!<br />
<br />
In the meantime here are some shabby bottles that <br />
I embellished.</div>

I fell in love with this old cupboard door when I found it because of its</div>

great colour! I knew it would be used in a project eventually...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had these letters (also waiting for a project) but they didn't fit the door....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that problem was solved by using an old frame for the "O".</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Supplies needed: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. scrap pieces of wood</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. vintage mason jar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. metal pipe fitting (found in plumbing section of local hardware stores)</div>

I cut a large board salvaged from an abandoned property<br />
into sections, white washed them and <br />
<br />
then attached the jars to the boards using the metal pipe fitting.<br />

<div align="center">
Simply take a vintage doily and using a staple gun staple it to the</div>

back of a repurposed frame (this one has been painted with<br />
Annie Sloan's pure white that I got <a href="http://thepassionatehome.com/">here</a>).</div>

Recently I was asked to help with some wedding decorating.....</div>
<div align="center">
the bride wanted a vintage feel to the wedding, but was on a tight budget.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2whRPgRlCQI/USpd0P5MJ-I/AAAAAAAAEbw/0FLyPhrz6HM/s1600/DSC_0032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2whRPgRlCQI/USpd0P5MJ-I/AAAAAAAAEbw/0FLyPhrz6HM/s640/DSC_0032.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are so many people who stress (unnecessarily) about wedding costs..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you can easily create a beautiful, personal, one of a kind wedding by using </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thrift and dollar store finds. For example, this entire little vignette cost</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
less than $5.00 to put together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-28XymntHkVM/USpeIdhpYEI/AAAAAAAAEbs/5gqZRP0dF5Y/s1600/DSC_0038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-28XymntHkVM/USpeIdhpYEI/AAAAAAAAEbs/5gqZRP0dF5Y/s640/DSC_0038.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using dollar store artist canvases I created whimsical table markers with vintage</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sheet music. Each table was marked with these music themed canvases. 30 cent</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
canning jars from the thrift store provided romantic candlelight and thrift store finds (here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a vintage cake topper) were added to each table to provide some fun and whimsy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TZSkUHcdh6I/USpdjb1YCnI/AAAAAAAAEb4/mk19ne08K6k/s1600/DSC_0023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TZSkUHcdh6I/USpdjb1YCnI/AAAAAAAAEb4/mk19ne08K6k/s640/DSC_0023.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vintage doilies provided beautiful bases for the table centerpieces, and simple grocery store</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tulips were used for flowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1Me1KflcI-s/USpdleNJZCI/AAAAAAAAEb0/ldhmduR31ZE/s1600/DSC_0024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1Me1KflcI-s/USpdleNJZCI/AAAAAAAAEb0/ldhmduR31ZE/s640/DSC_0024.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think if I could chose my career over again I would definitely be a</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wedding planner (although I do love nursing)...weddings are so happy and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
magical!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After seeing mason jar light projects on Pinterest I just<br />
HAD to try it out for myself....</div>

Turned out it was pretty easy to do.</div>
<div align="center">
The trip to IKEA to buy the electrical cord kit was the most difficult part of the project (and only</div>
<div align="center">
difficult because I had to refrain from buying everything else I wanted from there!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
My dad picked up this amazing old blue CROWN jar for me. It came with the</div>
<div align="center">
zinc lid and I bought a new top insert from the canning aisle at the grocery store.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
All I did was cut a hole in the top insert (easily done with tin snips---yes, I just used</div>
<div align="center">
plain old craft scissors--NOT so easy!!). Then I inserted the</div>
<div align="center">
lighting kit as per IKEA's instructions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
I was soooo excited to take pictures of this project that I didn't even wait for </div>
<div align="center">
the jar to dry after washing it! Hence the blobs of water in the pictures!</div>

I have to admit to having a bit of an obsessive/compulsive personality....<br />
and since my current obsessions include<br />
doilies, mason jars & burlap<br />
over the next few weeks I'll be showing you lots of projects that<br />
I have done that include these things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love this round black suitcase that I picked up at a thrift store.....<br />
it seemed the perfect piece to add some doily embellishments to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IaFM_dGexB4/URcWcfDgb-I/AAAAAAAAETo/N_fMuyqHtc4/s1600/DSC_0028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IaFM_dGexB4/URcWcfDgb-I/AAAAAAAAETo/N_fMuyqHtc4/s640/DSC_0028.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a spray glue to adhere the doilies to the suitcase and<br />
just a touch of hot glue to keep them in place while the spray glue was drying.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Nrp2PTORw38/URcWwWLc94I/AAAAAAAAEUA/0sNPh2rnQrM/s1600/DSC_0017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Nrp2PTORw38/URcWwWLc94I/AAAAAAAAEUA/0sNPh2rnQrM/s640/DSC_0017.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cute little felt flowers were easy to make and add some dimension to the<br />
front of the piece. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Doilies are really popular for use in wedding decor right now...<br />
wouldn't this be adorable sitting on a gift table!?<br />
<br />
I have it up for sale this week at <a href="http://thepassionatehome.com/">The Passionate Home</a> in Langley, BC<br />

Happy Valentines' Day!<br />
Here is my final Valentines project......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This project was inspired by Graffiti Art in the United Kingdom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Abgb_o2IO5k/URcW17FkimI/AAAAAAAAEUQ/vlr27oloXLs/s1600/DSC_0014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Abgb_o2IO5k/URcW17FkimI/AAAAAAAAEUQ/vlr27oloXLs/s640/DSC_0014.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found an ugly piece of framed art at the thrift store and gave the entire piece</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a couple coats of spray paint. After letting this dry I</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
glued wooden letters on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(found at Michaels)...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I gave the entire piece a few coats of white paint, distressed it and....<br />
thats all it took!<br />

So I'm already at project #7 for Valentine's Day!<br />
This is a super easy project.....<br />
stenciled burlap covered mason jars!</div>

Burlap is sooo easy to stencil on.....I found this pretty stencil at Michaels and <br />
used whatever white paint I had handy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NfeIjO16vDg/UP4HVnoARmI/AAAAAAAAEKs/Ch5NclItC2U/s1600/DSC_0001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NfeIjO16vDg/UP4HVnoARmI/AAAAAAAAEKs/Ch5NclItC2U/s640/DSC_0001.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To fray the edges of the burlap you just pull out the woven strings and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
remove about 3 or 4.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Todays project is a piece of funky wall art......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had this old garden gate which (for some reason) I absolutely love. I added</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some large wooden letters that I got <a href="http://www.joann.com/">here</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I painted the letters with Annie Sloan pure white which I got<a href="http://www.thepassionatehome.com/"> here</a>, and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't quite decided but I think I'll probably end up putting a fresh</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
coat on the gate as well as this may be just a bit "too shabby"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for my home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Whatever the case I must say I do "LOVE" the way this turned out (mind you, if I didn't<br />
love it you wouldn't be seeing pictures of it on my blog-LOL)<br />
You can see another project <br />
I did very similiar to this one <a href="http://janisgurney.blogspot.ca/2012/02/simple-wall-art.html">here</a>.</div>
