Sewing Machine Drawer Make Over

I got 4 drawers at an auction, only one of them still had the frame, I was going to add a piece o wood to the top of the drawer frame to finish it, then I thought o seeing all the yardstick tables on Pinterest and thought that wood be easy to do.

 

 

This drawer also was missing th original knob, I had this glass one laying around

and it fit and looked good.

  

 

 

Cut the yard sticks to it and sanded the edges.

I aranged them on the top and glued them in place.

Now ready to add your favorite pieces to display!

Opened a Second Booth at Another Antique Mall

I opened another booth in a old barn in Gettysburg, PA, at this time it is all my own, meaning I'm not sharing it with my brother! It is a small space but it is perfect for me. I totally love doing this!

 Can you see some of my JunkinJane repurposing ideas?  

 

 

Hankies on display, the same way as I have them in my laundry room.

 

Old Atlas pages used as background for wood shelves and crates.

 

I painted the word VINTAGE on a ols piece o wood from an old door.

Old ladder is connected to two old doors. I only had about a week to find a ladder, everyelse I already had, I knew I had to have a ladder 10 foot long, when I found this one it was marked 12' when we got it home and my husband started to put it together it measured just under 10' so he made some extentions.  You probably wouldn't have noticed if I didm't tell you!

 The doors did not have knobs on so I made "handles" from old spoons to cover the holes and to hand stuf on.

I had a typwriter in my other booth and was going to bring it to this booth, bur I sold it thru facebook when people shared it, luckily I bought another one the next day!

A suitcase table with 50s stuff on it!

 My daughter thisnks the little pink watering can is ugly, but she made a nice display with it!

Also, there is still room for more goodies!

One of my first posts here on my blog, was a pair of rubber boots with flowers in them! Still works today!!

Have a Great Junkin Day!

Repurposing

A fun thing to do with old things not used or not needed anymore is to find new uses for them.

Here are 2 of my newest finds and repurpose.

 

A pink french fry cutter!

used as a reciped card holder

or

a salt and pepper shaker holder

Do you have any other ideas?

 

 

 

 

 Another item is an arched clipboard, used possibly in a store for receipts, now can be used as

a jewelry holder or tie holder or maybe scarves!

Heirloom Bears

These Teddy bears are made from coats that used to belong to a family member.

This is a way to cherish a family member and a memory using their coat and making a Teddy Bear, hence Heirloom Bear! 

 

I use as much of the coat as possible, bow is from the lining, and this first Bear is wearing a special necklace!

 

 

I named her Miss Pauline T. Bear

 This red coat had a great black faux fur collar, I made it fit and added a button from the coat. I added a red heart for the heart of the bear.

This is Miss Miriam T. Bear

Some Things at Booth 65

Last weeks finds, old tattered quilt, childrens hankies, an amber etched bowl, feed scoop, childs ironing board, and a Firestone tire ashtray!

 

 

 

I took the tatered old quilt and made a Teddy Bear!

Sew Cute!

 

Another quilt, I found it is a small wall hanging or baby quilt.

 

 

 

I made two Heirloom Bears that will be posted soon!

A Cheesey Valentine Display

Needed some kind of Valentine display with out much valentine merchandise, so I came up with the conversation hearts inspired / vintage valentine humor and came up with this!

 

It was fun making the heart streamers from old book pages, great for backdrop for a party or photo shoot or just for fun!    

Have a Happy Valentines Day!
