I have been working hard, trying to clear a path in this studio. I visited my favorite thrift store last Friday and found these little bottles.
I got a bag of 27 bottles for $2.95. I had this really cool scrapbook paper that says, "I love you I love you I love you" so I cut a strip and glued it to the body of the bottle. I glued jute around the neck, tied on some little bells and a jute hanger and stuck some green and glittery in the top. What do you think?
On Saturday, my sister and thrifting partner and I went to a couple of sales at churches. She found a bunch of deals at the first one and I found some cool things at the second. One of the buys at the second church was a box of wooden holly leaves and berries, already painted. And yup. The whole box was only $2!
I simply strung two leaves and a berry on some jute, added a bow, and Voila! A cute little ornament. Well actually 27 ornaments!
I have some other goodies I will share with you later......
I also picked up a bunch of candle rings. I was so happy to find these since I had about a dozen rusty candle pans that I purchased from my friend Jean a few months ago. So I decided to use up some of my homespun and some of the rusty lids I have been sitting on for about two years. Just place one of my little grungy tea lights inside and you have a great primitive candle!
So I am off to get some laundry done and work on a few other projects. Still working on getting these medical tests done, and let me just say....I am not a big fan of medical facilities and doctor's offices. Have a great week, y'all!
