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".
 

Have a great weekend!

More "Quirky" Flowers...mini paint stirrers...





Hello again...thanks for hanging in there for my less than "frequent" posts :)

Last week I showed you a little collection of Funky Flower and Garden Stake Collection...including this big junky Paint Stirrer and Rusty Bit Bouquet.

That's when I realized I never even shared the "mini" paint stirrer flowers.
SUPER simple...just a couple of little paint stirrers...some super glue and bright colored buttons...
...of course I LOVE the chipping paint on this one :)
Plopped in here and there...hopefully it takes the focus off my "less than perfect" gardening abilities...
...and puts the focus on the quirky junk touches at my house.  Like the "must have"...tool box planter ;)

Thanks again for your patience with me this summer.  I am still enjoying the time with my "little charmers".

Chat again soon,

Chipping with Charm: Faucet Knob Fork Flowers...http://chippingwithcharm.blogspot.com/

Hello friends, I've been "missing" again.  Lots going on in our little world.  Not much time for projects these days, but I wanted to stop in to say "HI"...so I decided to "re-post" an "oldie but goodie" that some of you may not have seen...

Time for my favorite junk sale of the year!  And as usual, they let me stop over to give you a "sneak" peek of the GREAT junk waiting for the picking.


Here are a "few" of the things that have my head SPINNING...consider yourselves WARNED!!  
LOTS of crusty, rusty, chippy and SUPER cool junk ahead...




























WOW right??  Well friends, that is just a small portion of the junk treasures waiting for you :)
Sadly, I will not be there helping out this time.
Sniff, sniff....  
(Don't feel too sorry for me, I will be on a getaway with some high school girlfriends...one of VERY few things that could keep me away from this sale!!)
I did drop off a few "Chipping with Charm" creations so I'll be there in "spirit".

Here's the info again...

Our Home Tour...creating "collected charm"...



I thoroughly enjoyed the tours this week over at The Shabby Creek Cottage so I decided "Why not?"
  
Here's a little peek around at our house...
(There are lots of pictures so I'll keep the commentary to a minimum and add links for more info when available) 




Rusty junk everywhere...









I still love our little entry "bench" made from a material stand from a factory.


The sitting room...












I love unconventional side tables...


...like this one we made from an Old Drawer to End Table.








I cheated in this room...these are old pictures.  The kitchen needs a little "TLC".  I'll do another post when I like it more :)







Heading up to Our Room


"Big Girl" Ladder Bed Canopy...my most popular post EVER!!



We recently added some "Chippy Charm" to our Upstairs Bathroom.




My son's room is in need of a "bigger boy redo".  Here are a couple of things we added recently...







This lower level is REALLY hard to photograph...I'm still a "point and shoot" girl.  Forgive me :)


The "Guest Bathroom"...










Garden gate window valance.



A cool old church sign purchased from my friend Jan Berg aka Summerspell...look for her at Junk Bonanza!  Amazing person...super COOL junk!
  

Heading out to the Deck.




Vintage Headboard Patio Fence


My "new" "Pallet Perch"


Back at the fire pit...rustic, just how we like it :)



I recently got the courage to show you my quirky little Potting Area.


Before you go...
Have you seen my little Junk Shed??  It's just storage for now...but someday I'm dreaming of a sweet little studio :)


That pretty much covers it...whew! 
A little peek into our happy little world...thanks for stopping by!!

Now click over to visit some other homes too...and better yet link up your charming space :)
