A Quick Re-purposed Shovel Idea...and a Junkers United "Save the Date"...

Hello friends :)

This little red shovel handle is another thing I brought to our booth at Antiques Downtown.

The snowman buttons are on magnets...it would be a fun place to display a photo of some "real" snow playing kiddos too.
No snow here in MN yet...but maybe soon??
I LOVE the first snow...especially in time for the holidays.
I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week!
I am doing the decorating for a "Redeeming the Season" event at church tonight...so I am in "the mood" for the festivities to begin.  How about you??

Speaking of "festivities"...
Did you hear about the next Junkers United party?
Save the Date...December 2nd will be here before you know it.
A few more bloggers have joined in the fun!!
Be sure to get your own Christmas junk ready for the link party!!

Another Garden Tool Re-assigned...the perfect shovel for candles

You may have noticed a little "theme" going on here at CwC :)

I have been having fun playing and re-assigning some old garden tools to new "jobs" in my home...

This little shovel now holds a photo.

(That post HERE)

And in that same post I showed you how I used a hand rake "4 keys" :)

Then yesterday, I shared my version of the popular "Rake Wreath"

(That post HERE)

And today...last but not least...

...I'll show you this fun little shovel top I picked up at the Country Junk Sale last weekend.  Perfectly rusty, I just cleaned him up...sprayed him with a matte poly and put him to work holding some candles and a gourd.

And did you see my sign back there?  I bought that from my friend and "booth buddy" Joan from our new spot at Antiques Downtown.  Don't you love it?  It's on an old chair back...appropriate don't you think?  Sometimes we all need a little reminder...

The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still.

Exodus 14:14

This verse has helped me through some "rough patches" in the last few months...and now it has extra special meaning to me because it reminds my of my friend Vicki at More Powerful Beyond Measure.  She is fighting the fight of her life against breast cancer.  After I read that post, I told her about Joan's sign in our booth and I told her that every time I saw it I would say a prayer for her...well Vicki, now it's at my house!!!  Saying even more prayers for you my friend!!

So I think that's the last of the "garden tool" posts for now...but probably not forever :)
