Working on some projects for my Holiday Sale!

 

Here are some things that I have been working on, for my Holiday Sale! Two wooden lazy susans, an old silverware box, and 2 wooden pcs. with moulding.

 

 

I painted all susans cream added burlap trims and buttons, as you can see i have been making glittered burlap roses. I will be adding those to a lot of my holiday projects.

 I added this wooden do-dad to the moulding piece and painted it cream.

 

I've been crazy for burlap lately!! I love making these roses. And I am making these burlap wreaths with lace,vintage bling and some vintage corsage bits!! and I added a stained tag. I'll try to show more things in the weeks to come.  Thanks, for stopping in today and taking a peek! Have a great weekend and happy junking!!! Eloise

I LOVE CHRISTMAS! Save the Date!

On, Saturday a beautiful day at Christie's fab studio!  Here's a photo of Jennifer, Evon and Christie. It was nice to see all the great vendors and friends. Lots of wonderful finds!!

I purchased this blue cabinet from these sweet gals!! "Bats and Buttercups" from the photo it doesn't look blue. But, when I got it home it was too blue, so I took on the process to re-paint it!! I'm a creamy girl! It looks perfect in my LR. These gals also had some darling fun Halloween decorations, I couldn't resist!! See, here's the cabinet, I love it!!  Those are the only photos I was able to take! My CAMERA died!!!!! I also, purchased a great burlap bag from Cynthia, Lil Urchin Fabrics.
