A couple things...

I've been working on. :)

This is a window I got off of Craigslist before they were all over thrift stores. haha I probably would have saved myself a lot of trouble by just checking a few of stores around town.   It was in pretty bad shape when I got it.  I scraped all of the old paint off, sanded, painted, and stained.  I got the so-so fabric on sale at JoAnn, and the very small detailed wood trim (that you can barely see with this phone picture) at Michaels for about $3.

I got this lovely lady at Front Porch of the South.  Its a really big neato thrift/flea market in Georgia. She was only about $13.  I spray painted her white as you can see.  She was this horrible black/brown/green color, and it was so dark that you really couldn't see the detail.  But now she's beautiful. :D

So, I made these canvases following a tutorial I have lost track of about 4 months ago. (sorry!)  But they are made from book pages and a school glue mixture.  I bought this iron gate at Front Porch of the south also, and tied up the canvases with twine.  I love it. :) It makes me smile every time I look at it.

This is a tomatoe sauce can. I modpodged scrapbook paper on, and got the image from The Graphics Fairy.

And I got this lamp at a cute shop called Sweet Briar.   It was brown :P  I spray painted it white, then blue so that when I sanded it the white and the brown showed through. :)  The lamp didn't come with a lampshade, so I bought one for like 5 dollars at BigLots.  I covered with a lovely linen fabric from JoAnn, and made the pretty flowers from the same fabric.

Byeee.
