From Trash to Treasure !! ( I see some PEARLS)
 
Okay friends... I went to LaPorte today and bought a beautiful cross from Dawn and then waited on my new friend Patti... For what seemed like HOURS (she bought a chair from me)
So... I took advantage of some wait time. I went into some
Great holes in the wall .. Thrift finds...And Just look at
some of my finds.... Do you remember this inspiration picture post ?
Where I am collecting clocks and on the hunt for them to make this...
 
 
Okay well scroll back up to my first picture. I did not find the exact LID .. but darn close dont you think... and I have two really cool little clocks to add now...
The FIND is the fun part !!!!
 
all the things in the first picture are finds.. Look what I did with the old frame.. I put Sydni and her boyfriend's picture in it .. She is my cousin Debbie's Daughter .. I consider her a NIECE !!!
 

I just think it turned out beautiful ........ I am now a firm believer of Bar Keepers Friend . It cleans everything ..... Plates you name it !!!!!

 
 
Here are some more of my Design on a dime finds. The little brass buckets .. One $1.99 and the other tad bit smaller one 99 cents... The book 99 cents .. The brass candle tub with the heart $1.99 I am goign to paint them and shabby chic those sweet finds and then will post the after for these ... The little green thing in the back.. WELL ... I am thinking plate holder at my shop. I have some Decor plates that needed a rack and WA-La works !!!!! $1.99 and that sign in the back says SIMPLE it is distressed already and already love its color.. (DOES NOT NEED ANY TLC ) can we say Happy Dance .. I pinn on pintrest and have a board called PURE and SIMPLE !!! ME LIKEY (lots) .. that was a whopping $5 I think it is well worth the find ....

 
Everything cheap OLA.. couldnt of got a better deal at a garage sale !!!
The brass Dad thing.. I will do with some kind of display for fathers day and the ink never go wrong for stamping...Valentines Day PINK .. The twine ..Is just awesome .. 99 Cents on that twine too ...
 

See the brass holder... LOVE it .. Cant you just see it with some paint on it !!!  LOVE LOVE

 
 
Jelly - Bean couldnt help herself... I deee clare !!! If I did not say Get down Jelly 100 times !!! LOL

 
 
In this book .. OMGOODNESS !!!! The possiblilities of all the pics and music.. ( I can see things framed , transfered, you name it .. projects..... Can we say 99Cents (LOVE)
 
 
 
And last not but NOT least.. Jelly - Bean back in trouble... WHEW weee .. who knew being a Pet Parent of a Recue kitty could be this much fun (and work ) ...
