Yard Sale Finds and altered spoons.

I picked up this candle stick at the yard sale yesterday I thought it looked so shabby chic. I will probably use it in the spring time.



This was another find. I do not know why, but something drew me to this arrangement.  I love that it looks old, I guess.

This arrangement did not look like this when I brought it home. It had pink and lavender flowers and the container looked horrible. I took out the pink roses an added some aged purple roses. I used scrap book paper and lace on the container.
I probably will not keep this as I am not a purple person.
Just wanted to show the little spoons  I altered. I collect them at yard sales. This is the first time I ever tried to alter any. I love them.

  5. My favorite thing you found is the arrangement, 2nd one down, that I think you said you thought looked old. It's really pretty. So are the spoons. Do you display them as you show in the picture or put them on a spoon rack? Cute idea!

    1. I had not really thought about how to display them yet. I am really going to try to sell some of the things I make.
