Sometimes it's the small stuff.............

Sometimes it is just the small stuff that makes me happy.................. the chippy rusty handle on my dad's tool shed in the vineyard..........
this concrete stepping stone in my mom's herb garden...............



old vintage clocks where time has stood still...................

vintage fancy hardware on a plain old cupboard..............


a big ole pile of rusty finials begging for a home..............

OLD BOTTLES & OLD HOUSE NUMBERS

Here's a nifty idea I came up with the other day......I had a big old box of old liquor bottles that I just kept moving from one place to the next and I also had like 56 old brass house numbers that have been laying around....wellllllll they came together to make some really cool looking vases or just plain ole knick knacks! I think they look great in a grouping just about anywhere. They add texture and a bold visual statement for a small piece. Super easy project.....super lookin accent! You can see these for yourself in my booth w12 at the Sleepy Poet Antique Mall in Charlotte NC!
