WHITE WEDNESDAY SITTING DOWN

I was given four old chairs by my mom and dad that were sitting out in their shed.  This is the first re-do of one of those chairs which will all eventually be painted white and embellished somehow.

I wanted this chair to look as if it had been sitting in the basement of a Parisien hotel for years, so used some graphite paper to write the words on the seat and the back has a room number on it.

Have a fabulous White Wednesday and don't forget to head over to Kathleen's blog for a list of all the W.W. participants.

Happy day!

GLASS CLOCHE PROJECTS-from the thrift store,of course!

Well, it's about time for another thrift store junk project.......................don't you think!!??!!

I (like many of you) absolutely love glass cloches, and every time I am at the thrift store I pick up anything that even resembles a cloche.  These are some cloche projects I did this past summer.

Ahhhh,...there is nothing better than embellished junk!  The rhinestone piece hanging off the top of this first cloche is a piece from a broken bracelet.  The wording is courtesy of my beloved xyron cutter, but I also use rub-ons, and if you have a steady hand you could use paints and stencils for your words.

In addition to always picking up any type of glass cloche I also can never resist any silver pieces I come across at the thrift store.

Several years ago I bought these cut glass cloches and they have been awaiting the perfect project at the bottom of some box!!!  I am happy to finally put them to use!

Yes, the house is somewhat overflowing with cloches, but happily they do seem to sell pretty quickly.  I have several cloche projects on the go right now so will show them to you all as I get them finished.

Enjoy your day my blogging friends!

Touches of Fall

Aren't the colours of fall absolutely spectacular!!!!??!!!  I could do without the cooler temperatures and wetness, but what a sight to behold looking at the glorious changing leaves.  I have added a few orange touches to my house in an attempt to bring the beauty of the outside in.

Am I ever excited as when I went to do this post the size extra-large has been mysteriously added to my picture size option!!  Just what I wanted!!!  Thank-you google (I think!).

Hope you are all enjoying these beautiful days.
