Repurposed Glass Cloche

Hello all, Thanks for your continue support with comments here at JunkinJane. On my Christmas vacation I had some time to create a couple of things. Thanks to many post on blogs and such I made this glass cloche from an old cheese keeper. Simple and easy, yesterday I took some photos of it and put it on Esty and it sold already!!!

Canning Jar Lights

We did this years ago in our family room downstairs. fashioned after Hoss's Restaurants. Pie pans tin punched around the edges, the wide mouth caning jar rings were riveted onto the pans around a hole. I am not sure how my husband fastened it to the ceiling, but I do know you just need to unscrew the jar to change the light bulb. You do need to know about electrical work to do this project or hire someone who does!

Outside Junk

Some things outside the back door.

Old kids skis made into a door decoration.

My freebie old lights, just stuck them in a crock. My son said it would be better if they lit up, maybe next year!

Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

Here is a little look around my house at some of my favorite things.

The Ornament I Recieved

The ornament I recieved from the Junk Revelution website is this very clever light bulb with a dish detergent lid on the bottom. It was made by momlvcntrt. The covering is a single ply napkin decopaged over the lightbulb.

A lovely way to make junk beautiful and useful again.

Masher Christmas

I painted these years ago, potato mashers into a Santa and a snowman. they usually sit on my windowsill in the kitchen, but moved them for the pics. The snowman's hat is made from an old sweater, it has faded over the years, it also has a wire in the top to keep the hat flowing. the little Santa on the arm of the snowman is a fishing sinker painted as a Santa. They also can hold paper napkins for something fun.
