Fall Mason Jar Lamp
 |
| Mason Jar Light |
What a cute and versatile little lamp! Just change the ribbon and it will fit into any holiday setting. I like to turn on low energy lamps in the evening to add warmth to our home and this fits the bill.
Here is the tutorial on how to create this Mason jar lamp.
It is a little long, but I tried to be thorough in describing how to create this lamp, including how to re-wire the lamp.

Painted Bottles with Jewelry

| Painted Bottles with Jewelry |
W hen I saw these bottles at Fox Hollow Cottage, I thought they were adorable and I immediately knew what I wanted to do with them. It seems that many of the older bottles have a cloudy film on them that doesn't come clean. I have even tried Clorox in them. Nevertheless, these would work great since they would be painted.
I found two bottles that
would work and then while I was at A. C. Moore, a craft store similar to
Michaels, I found a larger bottle for $1.49. I had a 55% off coupon so 75 cents
was a good deal.

Second Chances
Hello and Welcome
So glad you stopped by today!
Today's Topic - Second Chances:
Do you like to reuse, recycle or repurpose items in a way different from its original purpose? Once you have created your reimagined piece, do you get excited and just love it?One of my favorite projects revolved around where I keep my pots and pans. Where do you keep yours: in a cupboard, drawer, or do they hang? If you look on Pinterest, you can find many inspirations for hanging pots and pans - a pot rack.
My Pot Rack - What item I gave a second chance
I have been reusing, recycling and repurposing for years. It all started when I was young and didn't have much money and had to be resourceful to create decor for our home. My grandmother always told me, "necessity is the mother of invention". So true when funds are limited but your need is great like when you have limited space in your kitchen.Many years ago, I saw a vintage window grate in an antique store and immediately envisioned it as a pot rack.
Come and see how I gave the window grate a second chance

Saucer Picture Plate with Pearls
 |
| Vintage Saucer as Picture Frame |
I am always looking for objects to use to display pictures, especially ones of the grand kids. After I had finished creating the mosaic shelf for my spare bedroom, I wanted to place a picture on the shelf, but not in an ordinary frame.
