Booth Update

Our booth is doing great! Its really fun finding treasures and cleaning then up and waitinng for them to sell.

 

Here is a frame I got for free, it is peeling away and was perfect for the spider web teatment. thumb tacks on back with string strung around. I added a spider for fun!

Belt Chair

Here is a chair that I used old belts to weave a new seat.

A friend of mine got some ladies together one afternoon and showed us how to put it all together!

I want to do more, it is fun collecting the belts and weaving them!

They are buckeled underneath, some had to get neww holes in them and extra length was cut off.

Another Vintage Purse

While I was making this purse I got the idea that this could be used for a Vintage inspired wedding as a dollar dance money collector!

Giving New Life to An Old Frame

I saw this on pinterest too. I used wire then covered it with coffee stained cheesecloth.

And added a cheesecloth bow and rusty heart.

Tiny clothes pins hold the photos.

I first measured about 4 1/2 inches and put in the nails. Used some wire I had, wound it around the nails to make little washlines! Then wrapped them with the cheesecloth.

I hot glued some pieces of cheesecloth over the nails so it won't scratch the wall.

I think it would be idea for family photos, or even a collection of senior photos, or even vintage valentines in feb.  Happy Junkin!

Shipping Box

I found this at a yard sale, at first I thought it was a suitcase. When I opened it it didn't have a hinge and the top just lifted off and it had stamps in the one metal bracket and was made of heabt cardboard. I didn't see the staps right away, then I did dome research and determined it was a shipping box. It is now in our booth!

Another Purse with Photo Frame

I found this great vintage purse at a yard sale last week, I added an old photo frame and copied a fav family photo plus added a ladies hankie! Will be taking it to the booth. The photo can be changed.

I have made one of these before and adapted the original idea I saw on pinterest.

Just a Cardboard Box

A store gift box I had for a long long time, just added some vintage lace and made a zipper flower

The lace and zipper flower can be slipped off and a gift can be added! 

ReNewed Sewing Box

I had 2 of these sewing boxes, The tan and white is in the booth as is and this one was missing the handle on top. So, I took the oppurtunity to dress it up a little.

 With a matching rose a doily and buttons!

Ruler Star and Doily Banner

I have made yardstick stars and stars made and from the folding kind, this one is from a set of matching rulers. Just drilled holes in the ends and wired them together.

Loving all the lettering!

I am sure many of you have seen doily banners before, I ran across abunch at yardsales and started creating them for the booth.  These are rather small doilies and they look great at windows!

I have more of the embroidered kind which I find more fun and interesting.

Or you can hand from pegs from a shelf too.

I want to use one to decorate an old suitcase too! Possibilities are endless!!

A New Venture

On Easter day, my brother told me about a new antique mall opening up at anearby town. he had info about it and I went to check it out and we decided to rent a space and give it a try.

We are off to a good start, and are adding stuff every week. It has a kind of his and hers feel. My stuff on the right and his on the left! I'll try to add more pics this summer!
