Homemade Magnets

Homemade glass Magnets

I love making these fridge magnets :) I display these on an artist easel when I do my vendor tables/tent. displayed on a piece of steel painted a pretty darker turquoise color :)

I can make these with family/custom pictures too. If someone sends me pictures I can make some for you too. These glass circle are a consistent 1" round; clear of bubbles & defects that I ordered from my wholesale vendor.

All Natural Soaps!

A Loaf of 'Lilac' Soap with a Cutter and Board

I use this soap, I'll never go back to "beauty bars" or "soaps" in the store. These are amazing! They leave my skin so soft & hydrated, they smell sooo good! I just have to share these wonderful soaps & gift sets! 

As seen in December 2011 issue of Everyday with Rachael Ray

This is a great addition to the guest bath. You wouldn't give your guests a dirty towel so why offer them a used bar of soap? Your visitors can cut their own bar of fresh, all natural handcrafted soap.                                                                                The loaf is our fragrant Lilac; one of our most popular blends. Our soap cuts very easily and with a full loaf you can cut as little or as much as you need. This blend is for those who like their florals on the clean, fresh side of flirtatious. A solid lilac fragrance with a note of wisteria. 

Yesteryear soaps are made from all natural vegetable oils, scented with pure essential oils from plant extracts and colored with organic herbs. We use no synthetic fragrances, colorants or preservatives in any of our soap products.

The result is a gentle bar suitable for all skin types, even for those with sensitive skin.

These are unique gift ideas that show you care.

Jewelry Organizer Using an old Rake

jewelry display re-use for metal garden rake

Good Morning!

I saw this idea on Pinterest (my fav!) and when I came across two broken rakes in the shop I scooped them up for sure!

This is so helpful! It's on the wall besides my dresser. All my jewelry is right there. Earrings are in my jewelry box right under this..
and by "Box" I mean box. Tangled mess it was. I actually forgot I had some of my pieces.

So next time your rake breaks maybe find a use for it by hanging jewelry or spatulas!

and yup, I also have one in the kitchen for my serving spoons, spatulas etc. My girlfriend down the street wants one too. She loves it. and very convenient & good 'ol country  decor.

I Love gardens & I guess it shows.

Horseshoe Dream Catcher

Horseshoe Dream Catcher

Supplies:

horseshoe
feathers
glue
hemp string (or similar substitute)
some beads, make sure the opening will satisfy to string
ribbon (optional)
silver cross charm

Be Creative! Each will be different.

I just used basic knots, measured so the sides are symmetrical.

If you want to make one there are several sites that show how to weave the web interior!

A Dream Catcher made from a Lace Doily I found at a yard-sale Saturday ...

lace dream catcher

Well ~ Saturday I found what is now the center of this lace dream catcher. I had everything else on hand & like to keep busy while watching T.V. so here is what I did with it tonight.

This measures 26" long and 10" wide.

I used some glass Murano beads w/ .925 sterling core & one silver dangle flower charm on the center green tail. The heart you see above is a lampwork green heart bead. I love the white lace & pretty green!

My next dream catchers I have materials for are horse-shoes! I have some suede, hemp string for the center web, wooden beads for the tails. brown/ivory feathers.

So, I'll be posting those when finished,

Has anyone made a dream catcher, or have one, that is made from a horse-shoe?

I also have some end boards from the lumberyard scrap, still with bark on the sides, so I'll be making some wall hook plaques using the boards, horse-shoes & nails from the shoes.

before

But First! - I found this bedside table with two drawers for 3$ at the yard-sale Saturday too!
I brought down my turquoise & white paint from upstairs.

After a really good cleaning & sanding I am painting the turquoise color all over, the white I am using a large lace for a stencil along the top of each drawer. (I must be going through a "lace" phase ha!) I will find a really pretty liner for the drawers too. The knobs are nickle & I like, so I'll re-use with this one.
