I love vintage and junk touches, espesially at celebrations. such as weddings. I definantly would use enough to evoke the vintage repurposed whimsy, but not have junk without a purpose, that purpose could be sheer lovliness, though. If the junk has a family history, even better! Saving money is important, because I'm not wealthy. It is also a lesson on thrift to teach a young couple, the lesson being it is fun to create with family and friends and you come out with an event experience that is unique, personal, and a well thought out day for you. Well, a la junk beautiful only works for me if it isn't isolated, little touches of that theme needs its stamp throughout the wedding, be it just a smidge or a whole dollop. Details, that go unnoticed by some, is what makes a wedding pulled together. Good manners and being gracious never go out of style, while stuffy nonsense doesn't matter and personal sentiment is more important. Families, weddings, celbrating is about lives lived together and the little quirky traditions that are gathered up along the way, ours alone...it can be expensive, but your little piece of jewlery has so much meaning and makes you laugh out loud. We have a tradition, that has a sweet story behind it about what the ring bearer carries, intstead of a pillow...we've also stripped all of my mother's bottle trees and lined the aisles with cobalt blue, we all wore hats once(the bride loves them and my mom is famous for wearing them in our little town, well and of course the Royal wedding, hee hee) We've hand stamped and painted hundreds of invites, smoked briskets, and hand wired hundreds of glass beads, just for starters...some of it I would have hire out, if I could, but most I am glad we did together...it was times we cherished, before our family dynamics changed one more time and we were blessed with another member. ha ha, I can talk about weddings...I love them. Usually the bride tell me what she likes, then I tell her what I have and being a junker, if I don't have it, I know where I can get it!

How awesome! Lezlee

This just seems like such a neat place! Andy is great! Lezlee

Well, I was going to add right in with everyone else, until I learned where you lived, I lived on a coral island and know what you mean the kids' bikes, the underneath of a car, everything rusted over night...Hey, you could probably make some money by charging us to send you our things to rust up for us real quick! I think it is a great piece and am anxious to see what you do! Lezlee

Oh, goodness, ten bucks, seriously... I love it... Just saw a new one at Ikea, it was a bunch more, and not near the quality. Lezlee

Very cool fire pit... and what a neat tradition, I hope it continues on. Lezlee

What interesting wall decor... They are so darling and bright
Lezlee

I love this! What a great freebie and you fixed it up just right! Lezlee

They look lovely and am not surprised they sold, but sometimes I think I won't paint something, and just let the customer paint them the color they want, but some people just don't see the potential in a piece, I guess, or maybe don't want the bother.
Lezlee

Great save!!! Can you imagine melting those down! My momma got me an old iron bed when I was a young girl... and I gave it to my daughter, now she has a baby girl so... The room is darling! Lezlee

Yeah, I was thinking fountain, too. If your bathroom is large it could hold towels in the big one and bath products in the smaller, any type of sorting like that... Whatever, I love them so much... Fun to stencil numbers,words or letters on. I think you are more creative than you know, you certainly saw potential with the brakes and that is the first step! and of course, the unofficial mantra on here is, "make it a candle holder", just have fun! Lezlee

I love it... and love what you had planned to put into it, before you said that I was thinking about compass and more maps, too. but you are the one that should be happy with it, so maybe you could sand it down and add some stain... Lezlee

stunning, I love tablescapes Lezlee

Shoot Fire, that AliceMom is quick on the junkdraw! I'll make her feel guilty... so she will share! lol, Good luck on your move, Lezlee

Those crocheted ones are so sweet! Lezlee

Good luck on your new Etsy shop... This is a lovely marriage, nice job! Lezlee

Wowzers... I love the packaging and all the goodies... Can't wait to see what you do with it all... LOL, you could just almost open the suitcase in a corner and leave the junk as is, huh? Lezlee

great reuse... It will just get prettier and prettier as the flowers grow! Lezlee

LOVE your loot... I am going one of these days. Lezlee

Great idea, I have one that doesn't work anymore.

I'd use the bottle and the shaker to make button bouquet if it was mine and some of the objects, such as game pieces, as embellishments...Just a thought...Lezlee

Very spring time cute! Lezlee

Awesome Christmas tree stand, love the old red! Lezlee

So sweet! Lezlee

Darling! Lezlee

Great! Way Cool! why would someone want a assembly line table when they can have something so unique! Lezlee

This is just great! I love it all sooo MUCH! Lezlee

So cool, they would look cute for any party decor or child's room! Lezlee

Oh, great project, I don't know why I didn't play! Lezlee

So fun! I still haven't done any of these! Lezl

Nice job~! Lezlee

Do you have an e-mail or a blog? Love the door, very cute! Lezlee

Just perfectly done, not overcooked, just perfect! Lezlee

Welcome! LOVE your treasures, your youth, and your enthusiasm! Go ahead ditch that mirror! Some great ideas on here done with broken mirrors, too! but that's where trouble comes a calling, when you start saving every little thing from the landfill and look out back and realize you just moved the town dump! lol, You will fit right in here! Lezlee

Alice~ I love the letters and the saying and the colors and the bigness of it all... I'm tending toward bigger and lesser stuff, easier to duster. lol

This line of furniture could wreck havoc on the pocket book! Perfection, Lezlee

Your shop sounds so fun! Good Luck!

Your bathroom is darling. I would love to see the books you made like mine. How flattering! Have you been to my blog proirlives.blogspot.com

oh, this looks so great! I've loved all the trash to treasure projects. Good Luck! I wish I could be there. more pics, please! Lezlee

Beth, this looks so cool. Lezlee

LOVE! Lezlee

Saw some the other day and didn't get them, shoot!! Love your embellishments, the black and white is so classy. Lezlee

That door in the middle looks similar to the door in my Master bath, which use to be the front porch. Not real sure about the question you asked me,(I think I'M visual) but if you used only the rails and they came off the wall just enough for magazines, like only an inch,they shouldn't take up too much room, maybe the cut edge could butt up to either side of the door. I love your iron bed sitting area, it is so inviting. And I want to build a whole fence with old doors, now to convince the hubs that it would be awesome! Lezlee

So lovely, I want to do everything you do!lol (if only mine would turn out so well) I recently posted a crown made from little wire baskets like you did at Christmas. Thanks for inspiring all of us. Lezlee

Funny post, Love your finds! Lezlee

great job! Lezlee

Just adorable! Clever thinking! Lezlee

Love the peachy wash and your design. Can't wait to see what you do with the others, because I have some more old doors, too! ~Lezlee

Great! love the hooks! ~Lezlee

LOVE your drawing and the finished product. Those letters look like rusty metal and what great Valentines! Lezlee

These are very SWEET! Perfect for Valentine's Day! ~Lezlee

Hey, I like your new profile picture

I meant to say That I loved the lamp, too! Lez

Very charming Valentine! ~ Lezlee

very beautiful! ~Lezlee

Sounds like a cool place, I love the name...hurry, get your project done, can't wait to see! The fabric book is really cool~ Lezlee

How funny! It does look just like salt... I like the combination used in this totem! Happy Valentine's ~ Lezlee

Just checked this out on your blog, but thought I'd leave a comment here, too! Love the pink records and the scale, fun displays! ~Lezlee

Great job on the box and love your snow letters! Lezlee

Oh, Georgia, I can see it now! Thanks so much for letting me know that... I just have a thing for wheels. Lezlee

charming combination, love the boxes, too! Lezlee

always love the scrabble pieces, especially the darker ones from the deluxe sets. FUN! Lezlee

very beautiful your seam binding and brooches, you have a good eye for what works well togeter!

Oh, the home made Valentines and time with your grandson creating! MICES, how adorable, How much better than store bought! Love the gumball machines and the red candy in cloche. No school for us tomorrow, so Valentine's parties may be postponed, course I work at Jr. High and we will have a dance next week.

I like this a whole bunch! Lezlee

Black and White, very classy... I saw a bed springs at an abandoned house awhile back and didn't get it, because not everyone enjoys all my finds, but sure wish I had. Wonderful post! Lezlee

Snowing here in Texas! No school tomorrow!!!Yee Haw, but now I can't go to First Monday, Canton in April because we will have school on that Friday, now! :( Oh, well. I'm only 20 minutes away, I can go Sat, or Sun... Lezlee

Oh, I like it inside and out! The flowers are cute, too! Lezee

Charming! Lezlee

Oh, this is nice, love it, but I'm still a little sad about the cooler being cut up, I know you said it was a gonner, but what you did with it is great! Lezlee

I LOVE the legs, way cool, and all the using of things you already had on hand. Lezlee

YOU did a great job! Way to go, Lezlee

What an awesome display chair, oh I can just see it!!! Lezlee

Wow!!! oh, you are one stubborn lady aren't you! I love it, and agree with Rusty Diva, what a price something like that could bring in the right store! LOVE IT! Lezlee

So cool, I think you needto put shelf brackets under them, with the drawer pulls facing the sides, to use the pulls to hold things through them or attach things with rings, and make them alternate, so every other side will have some green drawers with pulls, the galvanized part in the front is a good flat surface to label what is in each drawer... Display it inside or out, just make sure it can be seen from all 3 sides... Lezlee

LOVE the picture display er! and I understand your emotions about your daughter... My baby of 5 will graduate next year! He got his Sr, ring and driver's license this week!

Great colors... I lived on a island, for 7 years, out in the Middle of the ocean... I picked up a couple of pieces, sure wish I had done more! Lezlee

very well done. LOVE free wood! Lezlee

I love your cloche! and turned the other way is very pretty, too!Lezlee

Wow, I really love all the collage of jewelry you've put together! Lezlee

good thinking to remove the cups... Spray paint gotta love it! Lezlee

I love your son's creations, glad you save them and love the colors of the croquet balls... Lezlee

Very elegant! I'm loving the silvery, mercury glass look lately, I'm sure, in part, because of your great posts! Lezlee

You can really build good stuff! I love it, Lezlee

I love the cake turntable and the way you have displayed it all, Lezlee

cool light, you are very handy! Lezlee

very pretty! Lezlee

Yes, I hate to tell you, but YES, you do indeed have too many suit cases. You need to immediatly send most all of them to the person leaving this comment, so you might have a chance of being cured of a severe "case" of suitcase overload. Remember, I am here to help with your recovery. LOVE THEM ALL! Lezlee

nice thing-a-ma-jig??!!! Who else but our group would know just what to do with one? I think it was meant to be! Lezlee

Thanks, Feb 19th, girl...We had our first grand baby, a girl, on Oct 8th. Very blessed, Lezlee

My water at my house froze... I might need to use this warm bird bath. very cool!!! Lezlee

like the tin on the base, love all your lamps. Lezlee

Grand idea... In my classroom, after Christmas, we keep the tree up and decorate it for Valentine's day, St. Patrick's Day, and sometimes Easter, before we pack it up. Our students think we are a little off, but they love it, really.

great transformation...Lezlee

cool mix! Lezlee

Oh, the rusty handles on the ends are such a great touch; had not seen that before! Lezlee

This marriage was meant to be! Can't wait to see what the letter will be either. Lezlee

I'm impressed with your miter skills... Brilliant light! Lezlee

Great little pitcher, I like the jewlery you added. I wanted to buy some silver after seeing all the great stuff on here, but did not score today. Lezee

I love the sign and saying, sometimes those glue dots hold amazingly on some fishline, and maybe a small ornament holder. Lezlee

wow, I love all your Santas, the paper mache one is amazing. Lezlee

Love that tree and silver pitcher. Lezlee

oh, I love everything you do, and so I love this, too. It is great to reuse the bulbs as filler. Lezlee

On the etch-a-sketch... just use a transparency, your computer, and your printer and you to will be an artist,too. It is great, because it can hold any message you want and it is broken, so it needed to be fixed and used. Thanks, Lezlee

Love all the vintage Christmas and the way you displayed it. Merry Christmas... Lezlee

They were too cute to get rid of... glad you thought of a new way to enjoy them. Lezlee

Really cool, love it all. Lezlee

LOVE your tree and your cabinet it sets by! Lezlee

I love decorating for showers and I,too, think they would be lovely for a bridal tea or brunch. Can't wait to see what you do with the rest. Lezlee

I love the skater and the way the pond looks. My daughter and I both have a problem when we go to Goodwill, because we want to group things together and put matching cups with their misplaced saucers. Lezlee

Love all the angels!!! My sister and son just turned a little shelf over yesterday and said, "It looks just like an angel." & sure enough it did! You've given me some great wing ideas. Lezlee

creative stand, using the lamp part! Love the grand kids table and all the red. Lezlee

Love the quote and how you put it together, I liked to see his face when he recognizes his trash turned to treasure. Lezlee

I am a teacher's aide for one of my sisters, how lucky for me. There is another wonderful aide in the room with us, too. These are Content Mastery classrooms, which basically means Jr. High students with some type of disability that makes it difficult to keep up with the heavy workload, come it for extra help, or to "master the content". Some have severe disabilities to dyslexia and some I tease,(in a nice way, of course) have dis"Lazy"ia. It is a fun class because we are able to have a more homey feel and less strict environment. I worked for years in Head Start, (4 year olds) and now my babies are coming through Jr. High, so we have a special bond. Thanks for the nice comments, sorry for long-winded post. Lezlee p.s. I'm home sick, today.

Everything looks great Love the old clock case and the hay unloader, need to find one. Lezlee

Great display. I love windows, too. Never have sold any, bought a couple, though! Lezlee

Everything goes together so well. I love it. Lezlee

love all your junkiness...I get the same from husband and kids until they see other people buying it. Lezlee

very nice organizer. you are very creative. Lezlee

I did the same thing, but I just used some I had around...Yours turned out much nicer... I love the inspiration we get from this site. Lezlee

Love it all... Lezlee

So cool, I would prob cut myself. Lezlee

Wow, that prob took some time, I'm sure they have a wonderful luster to them. Great pitchers, too. Lezlee

super cool to have the picture of it being used back in the day! Lezlee

I love this, because it is darling and unique. Someone seeing it would need to pause, then study it for a bit. That just doesn't happen with the mass produced decor.

I love that you decorate at work, too. It is fun to look at, great job. Lezlee

Love all your finds...Lezlee

Thanks to your light bulb moment... I "dimly" remembered having one of those in the shed...This is great! Lezlee

very beautiful... Lezlee

I love the single, big bulb... good thinking on the Shepard's hook. Lezlee

so cute! Lezlee

Oh, I want this... Love the red! Lezlee

I love your little snow family and the cloche's they always make everything look grand. Lezlee

Love it all! Lezlee

great colors, love this, too. Lezlee

The color, the scarf, the skates, the baubles, the cracked ice mirror, the cloche... !!! I love it all... I want to go break a mirror,now. Lezlee... Reactions of the people, when we want thier trash, so great. Ha Hah ha Hah!!

This is a great cart, you are one busy lady...Your name fits you, because your home seems so full of projects you made happen. Lezlee

This is so well put together!! I am sooo glad you posted this, because it made me think of the inexpensive glass tops they sell at Wal-Mart and such... It would just fit my baby wash tub, making yet another use... Oh my head is spinning. Are there really bored people in the world??? Gotta go. Lezlee

sunflowers are amazing growing or not Lezlee

This is so sweet. Love the silver. Lezlee

Very classy!!! Lezlee

Love the little tree!!! Good luck on your sale. Lezlee

darling planter! Lezlee

These are so cute. Lezlee

I agree with Alice, what a great repurpose. Love the way it looks closed, out in the yard all nice and tidy and then the clever surprise inside. Lezlee

This is soo great! Lezlee

LOVE, LOVE it. Lezlee

I love it!! Now, I MUST make one, too!!! I have a green chippy frame staring at me. Thanks for the inspiration. Gotta' go. Lezlee

Very nice and so much storage. Like the stripe. Lezlee

This is cool, you could change out the bottom so easily or just store something. Lezlee

I like this a bunch... I want to try some of that pour on. Lezlee

Makes me want to set a spell. That flat squash on your great rusty stand is so cool, like a ruffly table apron. I'm thinking of painting my house green, would love to see all of yours. Lezlee

ahh...It looks sooo good it almost quenched my thirst. I love your little kid story and the way you tied your junk in to make it a neat family remembrance. Lezlee

Wow!!! I love the train tracks. That is thinking outside the box. My work table is 1/2 a ping-pong table top; sometimes we put it on top of a small table to have more room for guests. My daughter-in-law gave us a Christmas card of a family eating off a ping pong table which said, "You know your a Redneck if..." We do you a nice tablecloth! Lezlee

Simply lovely!!! Lezlee

Your garage looks so organized. Love the shelves and bead board. I'm taking a break from shopping, cleaning, cooking. Thanks for letting me enjoy such an neatly, organized place. Lezlee

All of your post look so interesting inside and out... I want to come on a tour!!!

I love everything!!!...I recently purchased some very small children skates with red laces, for under a buck...Not much need for them here in East Texas, but you've made excited to use them.

http://priorlives.blogspot.com/2009/11/matt-and-jodis-wedding.html LoveMyStuff, I posted a couple of pictures on my blog of the crystal bouquets...Would love for you to check them out. Thanks, Lezlee

Nice job!!! I love bigger nightstands. Lezlee

Love sentimental projects...The snow shoes have memories stored in them, unique to your family. I love that you are displaying them, not just keeping them tucked away.(nice bow!) Lezlee

You got some good deals. I lived in Japan, twice, for a total of 7 years. Your post brought back memories! That's one reason I like stuff with a prior life to tell.

These are so sweet!!! I love using the real greenery. I've trying to come up with some Christmas projects to do with my song sheets.

This piece is great! You done good! Lezlee

Thanks for all the nice comments. It is encouraging to hang out with people who get it!!! Sue, don't worry about the retro baby shower post. I mostly wanted to no if I had done something wrong. I didn't want to repeat it. Thanks again, Lezlee

I LOVE this I have a room it would go great in!!! Maybe the more retro, bigger colored lights, or one of those old light changing turny things. Ha Ha maybe I need to get off here and get some sleep. Whatever you put on it I LOVE it. Lezlee

This really cute and handy. I like the carving, too. Lezlee

I love the birdseed ornaments, all of it is wonderful and personal... Using the quilt your mom made! Congratulations!
Lezlee

Just darling! Lezlee

These are really cute, and my ceilings are so tall, it would help me add some length to my chain, They would look cute on a Christmas tree, too. Lezlee

Very, very adorable!!! Lezlee

ooh, I went to your site and now I have booth envy. It all looked wonderful! Lezlee

The size is great!!!, My son builds potting tables out of bigger doors, but I've been after him to make smaller ones. Now after seeing yours I will nag him or DH some more.

These do look cozy! I don't think I've ever seen one, but I will be on the look out. I like the berries around them, too.

I love the pictures on old dictionaries. This is so cute and could be used in so many different ways
Lezlee

Can someone tell me why or how to get my first post "Retro baby shower" to show up on my contributions list... Thanks, Lezlee

Judi, I work at a public school. Rusty Diva, I am making the keyboarding teacher, who is also a coach here one with his name and school colors. It would be good to label the computer center,an upwards gameboard and letters would make great signs, too; it is just endless with possibilities.

I like this.Very good eye, this is what I call recycling. Lezlee

hey, can anyone tell me why this doesn't show up in my contributions?

oh, my how cute:) Looking back at Christmas ideas.... Thanks for sharing. Lezlee

I've always wanted a terrarium... yours is lovely. I like the size... Thanks for the inspiration. Lezlee

The word cards are part of the old fisher price desk set. My son and I made some cute signs with them. The hardest part of the shower was remembering how to fold a cloth diaper, but it soon came back to me. I LOVE your site. I'm almost like a stalker.
