WhAt’s nEW: Unique flower holders

The WhAt’s nEW section highlights some of my most recent creations.  This time, I’ve been busy making…

Flower holders!

Who doesn’t love flowers?  Why not display them in unique and interesting ways?  Well, those were the questions swimming through my head when I began making various kinds of flower holders.

Here are a few of my creations:

UNIQUE FLOWER HOLDERS

Find of the Week

A life of scavenging has its shabby, less appealing parts: rusty nails, moldy wood, paint chips–yikes!  But on occasion, a priceless gem emerges from the heap.  The Find of the Week features some of my favorites.

Abandoned doors

old doors and shutters

They’re just begging to be repurposed!

Besides the many that I have cut up to make various pieces of art, I also transformed this beaut by attaching brackets to the bottom to make a free-standing display piece.

From door to display piece

Priceless.

Recognize the backdrop?

WhAt’s nEW: Hand-painted reminder blocks

The WhAt’s nEW section highlights some of my most recent creations.  This time, I’ve been busy making…

Reminder blocks!

What’s a reminder block you ask?  Well, if I had a nickel for every time I forgot my lunch, or forgot to take out the garbage, or… I hate to admit… turn off the stove… well, you know how the saying goes.  That’s why I started making these cute and very useful pieces!

Check ’em out!

HAND-PAINTED REMINDER BLOCKS

They are small enough to hang wherever: at your desk, by the door for right before you leave the house, or anywhere else you can think of.  Oh!  And I got a lot of these ideas from family and friends, so please keep reminder ideas coming!

Dumpster drawer knob

I used this cutie to adorn a combination flower and coat hanger.  Voilà!
