Here’s a simple (and maybe silly) junk project, but one that I thought you all might enjoy. Did anyone see Angelina Jolie’s earrings at the Oscars? And were you thinking what I was, that...

Re: Flower Power Garden Stakes

They are absolutely precious! I love them all, but the hummingbird really steals my heart. What a clever idea, and it really makes me want to get out in my garden! Thanks for the inspiration! Andrea

Re: Upcycled Wool Cuffs

That cuff is so fantastic! I'm into old wool too, and I know what you mean about compulsion.... my felted sweaters are taking over the dining room! I think that all of your items are great, really creative and super clever. Thanks for the inspiration - Andrea

Re: Golf Club Rack

My husband would love this - and it would certainly make better use of his clubs! Maybe if I show him this project, he will get out and use them instead! Thanks for a really clever idea.

Re: use up your eggs...

Thanks for the recipe! I'm running to pull my egg cartons out of the recycle bin right now...

Re: tin can gifts

Those are so fab! I'll never be able to throw away a can again. I loved the bread box too... Your projects are really inspiring! Thanks for showing us, Andrea

Re: Keeping Time With the "Rhythm" of Life

My favorite part of this is "the piece of junk that I don't know what it is" part. Dang, that's why I don't EVER throw anything away! The whole thing is just so cool. You ladies are really going to inspire me to keep thinking in new ways!

Re: Spice Rack

Wow, that's fantastic! I love the patina of that wire, also. It looks complicated, but you made it sound so easy - that's when you know that you love what you're doing!!

Re: It's a frame-up!

So pretty! That's clever to use the beautiful photo, too - it would be a shame to see that go to waste!

Re: Decorative Vintage Bottles

Thank you everyone! I've been thinking of other ways to apply this technique, and to other items as well. Isn't life so interesting when you love your junk? :)))

Re: My Funny Valentine

OK, now that's clever! And your wall color looks GORGEOUS. Thanks for all of the bottle and cobbler love!! I would love to have you come by, especially at one of our sales - we have such a good time over here. We'll have to get together for sure. I have just found this site, and it's taking all of the discipline I have to work today, and not surf around over here!
Talk to you soon, Andrea
