In random searches on the internet, I stumbled across some things that caugh my eye. These little bowls that look like chickens are from the 1960's. They are Glasbake, made by the Jeanette Glass Company.
I see this every Christmas on Pinterest and think I want to make it. But I can't paint straight lines, much less squares. I guess I could just pain them off white.
This is the #1 Pyrex mixing bowl set on my wish list right now. One local antique store has them for $175 but I refuse to pay that when I know I see them other places for $12 - $20 per bowl. So individually they can probably be found for less than $80. I'm a patient person on my Pyrex wish list. It's no fun collecting if I just buy it and spend way too much money. I am more about the hunt and the joy of finding a bargain.
How cute! Talk about super simple craft. And my son has pine trees like crazy in the woods behind his house I am sure. And I already have the little noses in wood.
You know how everybody is doing the 3 tier shelves and I do love them. But oh my gosh, 3 tier baskets! I actually have a basket like that bottom one. Guess who's is going to try to make this? ME!
My son has a tons of wood behind his house so I am sure I can go nab some acorns. I won't go too deep in the woods though because he also has bears in the woods. But getting these and painting them would be so cool. I would put them in a pretty little candy bowl just for looks.
I have posted this about 3 years in a row as something I want to do. I can never find cable knit mittens except online and they are $20 - $30. I don't even pay that much for my gloves that I wear. I think I may look at some thrift stores this year.
These are so cute. They are nothing but fabric in an embroidery hoop and then "prettied up" with jute and felt.
Last fall, I made some of these and sold them for $5 each. I made $150 in 3 hours after I posted them on facebook. I used some of that same paper and jude and beads. But I never thought to make the paint on the handles look vintage. Going to make some more soon and do my paint like that.
And last but not least, Cousin Itt from the Adams Family in strings of orange lights. How cool would that be when trick or treaters come around.
Well, there is my Top 10 things I am loving right now. Which ones do you like on my list?
