Vintage Doll House, Repurposed Shelf...and empty clock photo holders...


Chipping with Charm: Repurposed Dollhouse Shelf...http://www.chippingwithcharm.blogspot.com/
 You may have seen a little peek at this a couple of weeks ago on Facebook and Instagram...

I've had this vintage doll house on a shelf in my basement for years.
 I finally brought it up and out of that sad place.

 I think it makes a fun little shelf in my Great Room.

The windows were missing...so I just used some scrapbook paper to cover them up.

  Filled with some vintage clocks and signs...it has a new lease on life :)

 Side note...
I bought a couple of these empty clocks at an occasional sale a while back.  A little embellishment and a button magnet makes it a great place for a special family photo.

It has a new home on top of this little Ikea cabinet.  I bought it to stash some of my creative supplies in the dining room portion of my Great Room...aka "studio".

Happy Easter...and a giveaway winner...


Just dropping in to say have a blessed Easter dear friends!

Chipping with Charm: Happy Easter...Strike Plate Cross...http://www.chippingwithcharm.blogspot.com/

Romans 5:8b is one of the first verses my son learned in Sunday School.  "Christ died for us."  So simple...but it has been on my heart this Easter week.  Before I was even "trying" to be good Christ died for me...and for you.  
You are loved.

But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. (John 3:17)

Have a blessed Easter celebrating this AMAZING gift!
 
Also, 
I promised to announce the winner of my Junkers United Giveaway.
Drum roll, please...

Congratulations!  
I'll be in touch to get your shipping info soon :)

Aqua Ladder for Books...dreaming of summer adventures...



Chipping with Charm:  Aqua Ladder Book Shelf...http://www.chippingwithcharm.blogspot.com/

Hello friends, thanks for your patience with me and my little "Blog-cation".  I had a nice "low pressure" week.  I even started to "day-dream" about summer shows and Flea Markets.  How about you?

I think it started with this little toy Winnebago I found at an antique store the other day...

Happy Spring...in need of a little JOY?


Chipping with Charm:  Jump for Joy Mantel...http://www.chippingwithcharm.blogspot.com/
Hello friends, I just stopped in to say "Happy Spring".
And I don't know about you, but I am "Jumping for Joy"!  Not that it actually FEELS like Spring here in Minnesota...but I have HOPE that it is coming :)

I seem to be taking a little "Blog-cation" lately...not by choice.  For some reason I am feeling a little uninspired these days.  My sweet husband reminded me that I go through this every year about this time.  I decided to take the pressure off and rest a bit.  I'll be back when I have something to share.  
Thanks for understanding!!
 
Until then,
