SILVER SUNDAY!

Hooray!!!...It's another Silver Sunday.

Visit Beth's blog Gypsy Fish Journal for links to all of the SS participants. 
One of my favorite bloggers.....Debra at Common Ground did a beautiful post last week featuring teapots turned into clocks and I was so inspired by her post that I just had to try my own version of
teapot clocks!!

This was so easy to do....I just added a clock kit to the inside of the teapot.

Thanks so much to Beth for hosting Silver Sunday.

Happy day!

SILVER SUNDAY CRAFT PROJECT

I have been enjoying Silver Sundays so much....thank you to all who take time to visit my blog and leave such sweet comments.  A special thank you to Beth at Gypsy Fish Journal for hosting this fun day.

Today I am showing you an easy little craft project I did with some wood letters I found at the craft store.

I drilled holes through the tops of these letters so they could be strung with ribbon to create a word garland.

I painted the letters with a base coat of black then painted over the black with a clear drying glue and sprinkled away with SILVER glitter (of course).

I also tried some in white using white glitter which turned out really nice as well.

A very easy junk dreams project!!!!

You can find links to all the Silver Sunday participants on Beth's blog....

Happy dreaming my blogging friends.

SILVER SUNDAY PROJECT

Happy Silver Sunday....this is now our fourth SS, and I am so enjoying these days filled with silver posts.  For today's SS I thought I would show you a project that I did a little while ago...
Mercury glass has become one of my favorite things......and I wanted to try and create a mercury glass look using inexpensive thrift store glass vessels.

Using a silver leaf kit I randomly applied pieces to this glass following the instructions in the kit. 

I was pretty pleased with the results.

Be sure to check out Beth's blog for links to all the Silver Sunday participants!

Happy day!

A LITTLE SILVER SUNDAY BLING (#3)

I found this fabulous garden statue at a flea market for an unbelievable price.  I have filled it with some silver pieces and vintage rhinestone bling for today's Silver Sunday.

I love the chippiness of this statue and adore the mix of the rhinestones against it!

Isn't the detail on old silver pieces just amazing!!??!!

I so love anything vintage with rhinestones and love displaying them around the house.....rhinestones

always catch light so beautifully.

Small vintage silver pieces awaiting future projects, and I am enjoying them as the are for now.

Shabbily chic don't you think!?!

Thank you to Beth at Gypsy Fish for hosting Silver Sunday (be sure to visit Beth's blog for a list of all the participants).  Busy painting my studio space this weekend so can't wait to show you all the transformation!

Happy day.

SILVER SUNDAY THRIFTY FIND!

I love going thrifting with my mom and dad, and so enjoyed a day with them doing just that, when we were home over the holidays.  Well, what a great find we made that day.....you see I have been looking for a silver fish tank for months and months!!!!!!!!!  And that is just what I found on our thrifting adventure

(along with lots of other goodies)!!!!!

I first saw vintage fish tanks used in home decorating in a post my junking buddy Lani of Cottage Elements did for the junkmarket style site.  I absolutely loved how she incorporated one into her decorating.  I have been dying for one ever since, and this month I also spotted one in the pages of the Jean D'Arc Magazine.

Here I have filled my vintage fish tank with some favorite pieces of mercury glass as well as part of my rhinestone tiara collection. 

My head is swimming with all the possible ways to use this tank!

Hope you have enjoyed my Silver Sunday post.  Be sure to click the link on my sidebar for a list of all the participants.  Thankyou to Gypsy Fish for sponsoring this fun silver-filled day!
