Baubles by Gretchen
I had the pleasure of having a holiday shopping and eating excursion with JMS contributors Gretchen Schaumann and Lanette Lorsung on Sunday and Gretchen shared with us a few of her beautiful one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces she creates from vintage buttons and baubles.

Fifteen Minute Laundry Room Fix
Organization is the name of the game in January. Is there a better place to start this never ending journey than in the laundry room? Not in my house!

GOOD EATS Clock Using Vintage Wood Type
As many of you already know, I have a thing for (and quite a collection of) old wood type and use it in my projects wherever I can. A local restaurant asked me to assemblage them a wall clock and after much puttering around in my lab with nothing striking me, I decided to pull out the type and see what sort of design I might come up with.

Studio Junk
I own a faux finishing studio that is in Greensboro's 110-year-old flannel mill, called Revolution Mill Studios. The Mill is a 600,000-plus square foot property that is one gigantic recycling...

How to Make a Quiche Pan Frame
Since my daughter has become a vegan, I have little to no use for my quiche pan. So, I thought it would be funny to frame a picture of her in it to remind her of the days when she actually ate eggs. Ha! I'm not quite sure if she appreciates my sense of humor quite as much as I do. Seriously though, when you find something lying about that you don't use any more, why not put it back into play? That's exactly what we decided to do. E is on her second week of winter break and we were looking for something fun to do. After identifying the body of the frame we gathered the rest of our materials from the box of leftover Christmas trinkets, treasures, and papers, and went straight to work. The finished project will hang on a wall in my bedroom so I can see that smiling cherubic face, of a once upon a time preschooler, every morning when I wake up. Ahhh... those were the days! What she doesn't know is that this is the first of many photos to be framed JUNKMARKET Style to adorn her 'Wall of Fame' when she graduates from high school next year. Not all of them will be this adorable... I'll also need to address that awkward stage. Poor E!

Fun Little Organization Project
Here's a cute way to create some instant wall storage... Santa brought lots of fabric and notions this year and we wanted to come up with a “work in progress” wall where things were put away but still readily available. We were pretty set on using baskets but wanted a unique way to hang them...
