The last few sales I have gone to were really slim pickins.................until I hit the junkpot! I did not picture the rackets. They were already in my studio. My favorite are those cans. Lots of...

earring holder

oldnews, member | July 23rd, 20099 comments

Digging through the kitchen stuff a Goodwill, I found this broiler pan (I think!). I loved the round holes in it and grabbed it for 99cents. I knew it would make a great earring holder. I am SO over...

Ribbon, ribbon, everywhere...

oldnews, member | July 23rd, 20097 comments

I got so tired of my ribbon becoming a huge tangled mess, so I went out pricing those plastic storage containers. Too expensive, and they didn't hold enough. SO...with a shoe box, some old tissue...

bluejean, member | July 17th, 20097 comments

Again I was inspired by one of Sue's books to do something with insulators. I have never seen brown ceramic ones like these before (only blue or clear glass), and had to have them. I...

Bench/Coffee Table

Vintage_Vix, member | July 14th, 20097 comments

This was a really fun project to work on. I found an interesting looking wooden box near the dumpster. I admire Mackenzie-Childs style and design and tried my version on this box. I added some stubby...

Storage Footstool

Vintage_Vix, member | July 14th, 20095 comments

This started out as a bentwood cheese box. The storage footstool was screaming to get out. I added some small spindle legs; lined the inside w/fabric and covered the outside with fabric as well.

THein, member | July 13th, 200915 comments

I found a roll of old garden fencing at a yard sale for less than a$1.00 and decided it was the perfect way to display my collection of platters. I had seen something similar awhile ago but...

Another Tote Bag

I saw an earlier post of a cute bluejeans bag purse and thought I'd share another similar posting. I had some red suede purse handles left over from a different project, some leftover lining...

Coffee Bean Message Board

bluejean, member | July 10th, 20097 comments

These message boards were made from coffee bean bags. I cut them apart and then startched and ironed them (a very stinky process). I then glued each bag to recycled...

A Cool Coat Hanger

Sue Whitney, editor | July 8th, 200914 comments

Sometimes you find a piece of junk that is just to cool for words. If you have such a piece, don't destroy its original beauty. Instead, put it to work for you with just a few minor alterations.

This is my first post to share a recent make-over. I started with an old, second-hand, avocado green, solid wood, mail caddy. Using a little paint, vintage book pages, a few rub-ons, some ribbon, and...

New Use for an Old Friend...

chippingcharm, member | June 28th, 20099 comments

I get so frusterated by "clutter" on my kitchen counters but I'm an "outta sight, outta mind" kind of girl. So for a while I just dealt with the unsightly vitamin/medicine containers by the...

Drawers, boxes and extra vintage hardware
