I also want to let ya'll know, in case you don't scroll all the way to the end, that I will be back TOMORROW instead of Thursday this … [Read more...]
Thrift Store Picture Repurposed
January 29, 2019 by 36 Comments
Hello amazing friends! Are ya'll ready to see what else I salvaged from that pile of thrift store goodies? Today I'm sharing how I repurposed this picture: It was marked down twice to $4.98. The frame was wood and had lovely detailing on it, so in the cart it went. Now when I said I repurposed the picture, I fibbed a bit because I don't think there is much hope for the actual picture, but I was able to reuse the frame in an awesome way. I was working in my shop (aka the garage) … [Read more...]

Hello amazing Friends!! Thank you for all the positive feedback on my DIY Rolling Umbrella Base on Tuesday! It is working out great so far! Today I've got a fun little upcycle for ya'll.

August 23, 2016 by
Hey there, crafty Friends! Do you know what the top two sellers in my booth are? The first is chalkboards, hands down. A close second is trays. Buyers love things that serve a purpose.

I first made this tray about three years ago for a Get Your DIY On challenge and have continued to make them for my booth ever since.

Happy Easter, Friends! Last week when I shared my Romantic Flatware Box Makeover, I mentioned that one thing besides flatware boxes that I can't pass up is a good frame. I have a huge stack of them.

I spotted this pair of frames and knew immediately that they would make perfect trays, and trays always sell quickly in my booth. What was even better is that they were only $1.25 each!

Hi Sweet Friends! Ready for a trash to treasure transformation? Good! Because it's Trash to Treasure Tuesday! Today I'm sharing what I did with this $5 yard sale window: I picked up several windows this Summer and had yet to do anything with them.
