Fall Creativity

I have pretty much finished my fall decorating, all white of course. These letters are something new I made for this year inspired from an idea found at A Diamond in the Stuff. Thank you so much Courtney for sharing such a great project. The only thing different that I did was I used Thrift store frames painted Heirloom White and one I had lying around from Homesense.


The great thing is the letters can be changed out for N O E L @ Christmas or L O V E @ Valentines. I printed the letters on scrapbook paper leftovers and vintage music.

I loved the rose detail on this frame (75 cents). It was pewter so I had a difficult time deciding to paint it. But, not that difficult. lol

Two of the Thrift frames had never been used, they had copies of vintage photos in them. I will save those for a project some other time.

I just linked up to Funky Junk's Saturday Night Special. I'm not too sure I did things right as this is my first time, but I am sure you will enjoy your visit there.

I found another party to link to http://www.thenester.com/2010/09/fall-mantel-party.html.

Wishing you all unexpected blessings this week.

Makeover Monday - Potting Bench

This used to be my grandson's baby changing table. It was made for him by my late uncle.
It sat on my back patio for years, getting terribly weathered. This week I painted it white (is there any other colour?) A friend of mine made a sheet metal top that fits on top just perfectly.


My sister made curtains out of outdoor fabric to hide the clutter underneath.

I covered the shelves with peel 'n stick tiles so they will be easy to wipe off.

Now that I have my very own potting bench, will my gardening ability improve any? I hope so.
