Today I wanted to share with you a project I did today using an old wooden wine crate I bought yesterday for $5.00<br />
Here it is<br />
<br />

<br />
Nothing fancy, made from pine, with an engraved label at the top.<br />
<br />
I had my husband cut me a shelf from a thin piece of wood we had in a left over pile...........<br />
<br />
Then I picked out a pretty scrapbooking paper I had, then covered the back of the crate and the shelf, I used mod-podge to adhere it to the wood.<br />

I wanted to finish the edges of the crate at the front so we went to Lowes and choose a molding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It cost $5.75 for about 8 feet............My husband cut it to size and we applied it to the front of the cabinet and shelf using a hot glue gun ( it was quicker than liquid nails, but we did use liquid nails for the shelf support.)</div>

Once all of the trim was on I decided I wanted to paint the rest of the inside. I had planned on painting the outside, but after seeing it this far I had a change of mind. I used an ivory craft paint called antique parchment. It came from Walmart craft section for 57 cents a bottle, I used about 1 1/2 bottles for 2 coats.</div>

Mondays and Thursdays are the days that our local thrift store, the Manna House, opens for a few hours........</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday I went down there to take a break from filling Ebay orders. I had been on Monday and there was not really anything there but who knows?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did pick up a few items that I wanted to share with you and show you an easy project I did with one of them...........</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For 25 cents each I bought these 2 glass cloches, at least that`s what I think they are, and that`s definitely what I use them for.........however the thrift store always has them in the lighting section so I`m not really sure..</div>

I also picked up the silver tray they are sitting on......it has a good weight to it and sits on little feet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did have to polish it some and it was $4 which is a little `pricey` for the Manna House.....Still, I do like it and can use it for many different displays...</div>

Then I simply hot glued the ornaments to the hoop and the one beside it.........That is how the back looks, you cannot see the hoop from the front but if you hang it on a mirror you may so I needed the back to be pretty too.</div>

The letters spell out MERRY CHRISTMAS .........made from glitter chipboard shapes I found at Michaels 1/2 price, $2.50 for 20.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It so happened I had the same shaped paper puncher, so I stamped some linen card stock with Christmas music, and punched out the squares. I then stamped the letters onto the music paper and glued them to the glitter shapes..........Next I punched a hole and threaded a champagne colored seam binding thru.....voila!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can`t decide if to make a banner on the vintage music paper chain I made or hang them on the tree............I`m sure it will come to me......</div>

Making old fashioned paper chains is so easy..................Just go to your local thrift store and pick up an old book, music or script, whichever you prefer........Then cut strips with a paper cutter so that they are all the same size and either glue or staple them into a chain...........could not be more simple and costs pennies! You can even glitter the edges for a `fancier` chain....</div>

These are the cream with a hint of green but they do have many other colors..........Just like the roses they are made entirely of paper, no plastic. They are huge, at least 4 to 5 inches wide and the stems are over 20 inches long.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do not have them in my store due to the large boxes required for shipping.......people do not like to pay a lot for shipping I find. They are also more expensive than the roses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If anyone is interested in purchasing some let me know. They are $6.00 each but well worth it compared to the fake silk ones they have in stores.</div>

From the dollar store I purchased the round mirror, $1 of course, they also come in different shapes if you prefer. It measures around 5 inches diameter and was a perfect size for my 4 inch trees.......................The glass cover was a find at the thrift shop for 25 cents, but also at the dollar store or Walmart you can buy glass vases of a similar shape for less than a dollar. Just make sure its tall and wide enough to fit over the tree.....</div>

Another idea is to buy one of these great jars from the craft store, this one was 75 cents, originally $1 but I had a 25% off coupon..........Simply glue the tree to the inside bottom, add a little mica and glitter to the bottom for a snowy effect if you like, then close the lid and attach a hand made Merry Christmas label...........voila! So cute!</div>

A beautiful antique barbola basket.........it was sitting on a high shelf, turned on its side............I reached up to take a peek and check out the price..............My heart skipped a beat!............$10 OMG, it`s mine!<br />

All original paintwork and only one small area with damage.........<br />
<br />
It`s around 1930`s, English........worth around $500 I would think..........<br />
<br />
I have filled it with long stemmed paper roses that I have just listed in my store.<br />
<br />
Just goes to show, bargains can still be found! <br />
<br />
Speaking of the paper roses, here are some large 3.5 inch ones on a 4 inch metal stem that I have just listed, they are adorable!<br />

I wanted to share with you a new website that I came across, some may already be familiar with it.................It is http://www.swap-bot.com<br />
It involves joining swaps with groups of other people, there are many different categories to choose from, most are craft oriented, either hand made or supplies. Basically you join a swap, get paired up with one, or sometimes more, partners and mail each other the items specified............what fun receiving a surprise package in the mail!..................And of course I will love sending some of my creations and supplies found in my store..................Why not join? Maybe we`ll get paired up?Valerie Jacksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07138082112912450711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8792815637613950282.post-69428852990003302242012-05-24T07:08:00.000-07:002012-05-24T07:08:14.500-07:00New.......French Feed Sacks, reproductions.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I wanted to show you these gorgeous French design feed sack bags I just got my hands on. They are reproductions but look GREAT...................................Made from burlap with a French text and design.............Huge at 30 inches by 18 inches, the back of the bag is plain burlap...................I have so many ideas for what you could use these for................Roll down the top and fill them with tall fabric flowers.................Pop a pillow inside and sew or tie with a ribbon for a fantastic sofa cushion.................Shorten a little bit, add some pretty fabric handles and use for a tote bag....................The possibilities are endless!<br />
