 so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.”

CABLE SPOOL CLOCK

I've been wanting to try this project forever......
and finally did!

This is the top of a rescued cable spool.

I white washed and waxed it, added some house numbers and a clock kit to turn it in to

a working clock.

Happy day!

THE OLDE FARMHOUSE VINTAGE MARKET

I was completely overwhelmed by the masses of kind hearted, complimentary

 and encouraging people I met today at the Olde Farmhouse Market so wanted to do a quick post to let you all know how much I value and appreciate you!

Whether you bought something from me or just stopped by to tell me how much you loved my booth you all contributed to an extraordinary day for me...so I thank you all from

the bottom of my heart!

 I love repurposing "junk" and I love that so many of you love

what I do!

Many of you asked about purchasing things from me outside of the market and
I plan on adding a page to my blog in the near future where I will list things for sale
as I make them, also please feel free to email me with particular requests.

 LOVE VINTAGE!

Happy day

&

THANK YOU AGAIN!  You all inspire me!

Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.”

ALTERED GLOBE

I found this great globe at the thrift store, BUT....
unfortunately, left it out in the rain! 
So I had to come up with an idea to still make it saleable (is that a word?).

A search on google led me to some globe altering sites and

VOILA!

King of cute, don't you think?!

Happy day!
