Busy - Busy - Busy

It is ridiculous how many projects I have going on at one time. I am making my first quilt - I have a huge photography project in the works, and I am working on Christmas projects. I am also couponing, junking, and re-working my Etsy shop. I really have too many irons in the fire. But you know me, I never stop Junking. Goodwill has been awesome lately. I found this gorgeous outdoor vase that was in excellent condition. Very heavy and awesome looking. This would have looked great as is but I wanted to use a hammered enamel.

The vase turned out beautiful. I paid $3.99. This would sell for a lot more in a gardening center. I love the re-purpose movement.

Check out this Hammered Color by Rust-Oleum. The color is just beautiful.


I found this great cherub piece for the garden that was in a light blue. Minor cracks and beautiful looking. Makes a lovely little bird bath. I don't know why anyone would give him up. I took him home for $3.99 and gave him a great coat of paint.

Look how gorgeous he turned out. I encourage all of my readers to  look at everything with an eye toward up-cycling.

Let me know what projects you are working on. I really am interested.

You have been busy. Like the redos. I have a set of large candle holders I need to try that paint on.
No projects here right now, just covered up in paper work and the like.

I enjoy rescuing treasures, too.
It's a real pleasure when items leave my booth and go home with new owners.
