Embellished Thrift Store Art...thinking SPRING :)

I've seen some fun embellished art pieces online and in shops.  So when I found these three hand painted canvas paintings at the thrift store...I decided it would be fun to play a bit...

Another Old Tool Re-purposed...keeper??

Is this the cutest old tool you've ever seen?

I'm in love with that bright blue handle and rusty bottom.

Add a sweet little embellishment...

...and a button magnet with this fun picture of my mom as a little girl.  Don't you love that the awning above says "Peek"?  (She is standing in front of my grandfather's first Chiropractic office.)

I'm thinking this one is mine for "keeps".
 

Thanks for stopping by for a "PEEK" :)

Lock Box Photo Holders...

For some reason I have always been drawn to these old lock boxes.  Here's a easy little idea to put some to "good use".

I just added wire and some "embellishments"...you know I LOVE those ;)

Add a sweet little button magnet...and you've got yourself a fun little photo holder.

(I am enjoying the grey and cream chippy paint on this one...it might have to "live" at my house!)

Funky Junk Interiors for Sat Nite Special

Hope everyone is having a great week!  I am still digging myself out from all the "piles" I created last week while I was getting ready for the show.  That's why this point is "short and sweet"...we'll chat again soon!!

Until then,

"Bitty" Flowers...how to...

You might remember these little bitty flowers I posted about last week before the Junk Market Trunk Show.

I told you I'd tell you how I made them...

I got my inspiration from all those pretty little button and paper flower bouquets out in Blogland and on Pinterest.

Here's how I made my version...

I grabbed a couple of these flower shaped paper punches...

And "went to town" punching out these little cuties.

Then I layered them up...one of each shape and a little button.

I used a little mini glue dot in between each layer to hold them together...not necessary but it made it a little easier for me.

Then I snipped a little wire and poked it through the holes.

And twisted it.

And there you go...very easy, but time consuming if you want to make a bunch :)

I had a few of these decanter lids on hand for vases.  I love the little touch of cork. 

Cork, buttons and book pages...a few of my favorite things :)

Thanks so much for stopping by...
