Love this piece! I want one!

Amazing!!

I'm in Richmond, VA. The snow was a surprise. It came fast and has melted fast!! Spring seems to be back 60 + degrees at 6 a.m. To be 80 degrees this afternoon. Weird weather patterns!!

Charming! Very Charming!!!!!

AWWWWWWWWW! What a darling son you have who made darling gifts!

Love This!!!!

This is gorgeous. I want this for my back yard to feed my little feather friends!!!!!

Beautiful!

Wow! What a gorgeous lamp!

Two words! Wow and Gorgeous!!

How absolutely wonderful to remember both of your Grandmothers in this manner. Thank you for the idea! I, too, have some wonderful vintage jewlery from my maternal Grandmother. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You have a kind dear heart to want to enjoy your Grandmothers things of the past.

Definitely this project has the WOW factor! Very pretty!! Clearly ,you have a lot of talent and patience to chip such a beautiful setting!

Fabulous!!

Great topic! In regard to your first question, Would you do a junk wedding for yourself or your daughter or daughter-in-law to be? As a mother of an adult unmarried son, I would say for a daughter-in-law/daughter to be it would depend on what she would want for her/their wedding. I would certainly love a junkstyle wedding,tastefully done,but again it would depend on the daughter-in-law/daughter to be and what her dream wedding would be. I certainly would choose a vintage wedding dress over any strapless version of today. I cannot tell you how many young brides at weddings I have witnessed yanking up their strapless gowns so they won't fall down and expose themselves.

Oh my gosh! This is just the coolest idea!!!

Very nice frame!I made one similar into a shelf. However, I cut into the drywall of a wall, the size of the picture frame, and did shelving in the open space between studs (16 inches apart studs). I then placed the frame, permanently (liquid nails) around the opening in the wall. It looks as if it is a built in.

Oh My.... Oh MY!!! The garden possiblilites.. I can just see a vine on each side beginning to crawl up.... LOVE IT!!!! I can see a nice reading spot with a chair sitting just inside the gazebo....

Suggestions: I would leave them rusty and beautiful just as they are. Perhaps you could use steel wool to certainly take orange rust off of the bottom as to how they would sit as candle holders as not to damage what they will be sitting on. Or if you choose, use steel wool to take some of the rust off of entire piece. Or another possiblility. Leave them as they are and cover bottom with a nice fabric. Perhaps felt or velvet with our friend Gorilla Glue as not to scratch or mark what they will be sitting on. Just a suggestion or two.....

Wrensantiques: These are just charming!!! I can just see them catching the sun and shimering in your garden. I love garden art and I think it is a very nice re-purpose.

Gorgeous!!! I love the creative plant holder, but the entire garden spot. Very creative!!

Absolutely charming!!!

Absolutely wonderful! Amazingly unique and beautiful!

What a beautiful, unusual piece! I think I would leave it just as it is and use it to brighten up any space. I can just visualize a big beautiful fern sitting on top of it.

Very, Very cool idea to feed our feather friends!!
I hope you don't mind folks using your idea.
The pictures you took are priceless. God's little creatures are amazing!!

Fabulous!! I absolutely love the non-traditional look of your Christmas. Your ideas are just the best!!

What a wonderful double duty chest! Love the newspaper, dictionary decoupage! Good idea for a desk top as well!! Very Cool!

Very, Very neat use idea for an old record player. Nice refinish job! I have a feeling that the kitty cat is one spoiled prince or princess!

Simply darling, all of them

It is a coffee bean sack. Columbia gave it away.

Looks like a fun "Junk Fest." I hope the kittens found wonderful homes and will not be abused. Darling precious critters.

You are such a talented painter. This is really pretty and what a keepsake!

Oh my gosh... the royal typewriter!! Love it!! Believe it or not I have my Mother's Royal typewriter sitting in my home office, Her dad purchased it for my mom in 1950 brand new. (I'm giving away my age now....shhhh!!!!!)when she went to business college in 1950. I learned to type on it and it sits in mint condition on my credenza as a conversation piece (the credenza is a re-purposed old dresser).

Absolutely love the metal pieces! Very creative and cool re-purpose.

Thank you for all the lovely comments regarding my faux walkway. I used paint made for cement. I took a real brick that I liked to the paint store and matched the red color and I just chose a grout that I thought looked like cement grouting. I don't remember the colors and the containers I took to the the paint recycling center. I added a good bit of sand to the paint just until I thought it was a good consistency. I painted the entire slab in the grout color, let it dry, then I used an ordinary kitchen sponge to sponge on the brick, using the sponge in two different directions. After that dried, I literally went over it rubbing dirt randomly in spots where the cement and sand was higher etc.
Then I sealed it with a driveway clear seal, matte finish.
Again, thanks for the nice comments.
