Late Bloomers...

I'm still kind of a "newbie" to blogging but I've been posting my ideas on JunkMarket Style for a while now. I decided to post a few of my past JunkMarket Style posts...to share with my new blogging friends. And I'm hoping my JMS friends don't mind seeing them again :)



I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds these old shoe stretchers all over the place for cheap. Whenever I see "cheap", I can hardly resist scooping them all up and waiting for an idea to hit me...so after years of stinky shoe stretching and then a few more years of hanging out in a pile in my garage, they get a new life and a new look...



I suppose I could have painted these all one color but I preferred the different colors and their "less than perfect" appearance.



These old shoe stretchers got a new job and a new look...blooming with vintage bobbles...Rusty washers, vintage earrings and buttons...



...old enamel pins, a favorite of mine...all attached with Gorilla Super Glue...



Here they are, just laying there looking pretty...





Also looking lovely on this perfectly crusty grate...



I made enough for a whole junky bouquet...it was a little challenging getting them arranged since they are fairly top heavy...



...but strategically placed sheet music did the trick.



And I recently made a bunch of "white on white" flowers for an event...don't you think these would be fun for a wedding?

OK now...head over to JunkMarket Style and prepare to be inspired!!!
