Shabby Lil Chic Wreath!

Okay guys, I tell you how this started.  Awhile back I saw a coffee Filter wreath in Bloggyworld..Didn't save the picture or the site, SORRY, but it has just been stuck in my head.  I had about 15 coffee filters, not enough to make the wreath, so I added what paper I had.  Brown paper lunch sacks and Paper towels. 

Poured my leftover pot of coffee over ALL of them in a large bowl.  Let them sit a couple of minutes, pulled them out and put them outside to dry.  After they were totally dry, folded them in triangles and rolled into little flower looking shapes.  Stuffed!!! and I mean pushed them into a Grapevine Garland that I left rolled in a circle.

 Didn't have a wreath and it worked great, just more dense and hard to get that paper into.  Well Ladies, this is a FAVE...looks like a vintage paper, french ephemera, shabby chic...  I may glitter the heck outta the little edges, but am enjoying it's soothing, plainness right now. 

Many Blessings,

Denise

Mosaic Window Redo

I love to take old things and make them over into something useful.  Here is a picture of an old 5.00 garage sale window that I made a mosaic on.  The glass pieces are marbles that I found at the dollar store and stained glass scraps I cut into square shapes.  The fleur-de-li is a plaster cast I made in sand using an old finial.  Painted the frame black and put a crackle finish on it.  It is in a morning window and when the sun shines in, it makes a beautiful pattern on the floor.  Get busy remaking old junk into wonderful new treasures.
