Wonderful JUNK......LOVE to JUNK...would LOVE to JUNK at your sale Sue! OK NOW your sale is over how about coming to Tennessee?? The first week-end in August the 127...450 mile yard sale starts!!! YES 450 miles of FUN-JUNKIN!!! Starts down in Ala. and goes up to Ohio!! ALL ON THE SAME ROAD 127!! You can google " 127 YARD SALE" and see the fun stuff!! It is suppose to start in August, but tents are going up as we speak! If you can find a spot on the side of the road...it's yours to sell from. NOT ME...I can't wait to see what's out there! Come on all you "junkies" the 127 sale is sooooooooo much fun!

This sounds like a real challenge! Don't mention what the item is to all your 'Junky" buds..make something and have all of us try to figure out what it started as!!! Looking forward to your WONDERFUL creations....Jan

TOO SWEET!!! Sorry I must copy this...THANKS FOR SHARING...

Always so refreshing to see that some people really do look at my "stuff" THANKS A BUNCH! It really makes people smile when someone is sitting on it and you see 4 FEET!!!!

I just love this idea...I have one and it is so pretty in the winter..we wind white lights all through it. I was lucky and found a Corn-Drying iron tree that holds 20 bottles! You did a nice job and sooooooo reasonable ! GO GIRL....

GREAT FRAME! You could take wire or jutestring or rope and wrap around the frame. Start with whatever you choose, tie knot on the top of one corner, the frame is lengthwise, right to left, go to the bottom BUT PUT wire INSIDE the bottom of frame, wrap around frame edge, pull up, go to top of frame and again GO INSIDE the frame, wrap around top frame edge, keep on with this in and out... etc...until you have wire/rope wrapped around the whole frame, and pushed tight together. Place hooks on back side, and hang it up near your door to use for letters, notes, pictures whatever. The wire/rope woven tight together makes a great way to slide pictures, mail, notes,whatever in and out. If you don't have a space long enough for east/west hanging.... hang it the other way.

Hello all and THANKS so much for looking at my items and how nice to recieve lovely comments! I reall enjoy this site! Jan

Hello..I jumped in with both feet and to my surprise I have posted some items!!fUN fUN... NEED SOME HELP..I can post and add photo of items, having trouble FINDING the place to add my photo. I have only seen it once but I did not have happy-crafter face ready!!!! Now I do and can't locate the "on" click!!! Any suggestions?????

Thanks for the comments..any questions on "how-to's" for the lock strip method... WITHOUT knots...PLEASE ASK.

Had trouble with pictures, wanted to show one with shade on jar base!! The frame is for hanging plants,remove the 3 hanging chains. After ripping material(several different patterns & colors) into 1 1/2 to 2 inch strips, start at the narrow part of wire basket, make sure you LOCK the start of material in place and start to weave material, pushing down to make a tight fit. When one strip in ALMOST to the end, you ADD another strip by lock weaving..NO KNOTS. When you have finished to bottom of wire, go around the base rim, covering all the expose wire and again LOCK OR SEW end of material. Add fringe of ripped 6" strips. If not even, trim. Take one wire washer, place inside shade the other washer on the outside, put bulb holder through both and screw on the finial. With material shade I suggest no more than 60W bulb.

I believe they were used to pull heavy drapes back mounted on sides of windows to give a nice window effect. When you wanted drapes closed, you just pull away from side metal holders...open pull towards side holders and drape behind the metal bend. NICE OLD FIND....PUT TO GOOD USE AGAIN!

Hi..Nice piece..and you bought it finished, lucky you. If you turn the frame, one turn to the right or left, and IF it has holes on one side near top and down near bottom where hindges use to be..it could be an old cabinet door that once had colored pieces of glass slid in where you have the pictures. The black iron work was added for decor when they turned it lengthwise.

I can follow it until I get to "put the sleeve over it"? Do I roll two different colors of wool for center? and did you mean to pull the "cuff" over it?? I really would like to make some, thanks. When you say sleeve..do you mean the cuff of the sleeve? I see ribbing like a cuff.
