burlap & book pages trim … ♥

sometimes it’s the simple things that just make me happy 🙂
like this little spool of trim … know what i mean? 
come on, let’s make stuff 🙂

sound of music should be playing in your head right now 🙂 
i just love gathering a pretty little dish full of goodies
then seeing where the creative in me decides to go 


~ cut & fold ~

~ sew ~

~ trim ♥ ~ 
during my garage sale outings this summer i found this old flour sifter …
a little spray paint, some trim we just made, and some other pretty things 🙂
now it holds my sharpies


what else could you put in a made-over flour sifter? 

much loves to you!

trash to treasure … decoupaged trinket box ♥

Hi!
It’s me!
hope you all had a wonderful 4th ♥

my girls have been at summer camp this week that’s put on through their school
tons of fun they’re havin’ 🙂

i’ve mentioned before (i think)
that i love garage sales
i don’t just love them
i luuuuuuuuurve them
when it’s summer time i see no need for Target to even be open
’cause it’s garage sale season

and what i love most is finding something that looks like it’s beyond it’s years of use
and turning it into something usable, and something you love!
so i’ve been doing a lot of that lately
taking old things and making them new ♥



it started out like this…
lotsa potential 🙂

a little Mod Podge and some pretty paper … i had a hard time narrowing down the choices!

it holds all the little tags and scraps for the shop…
i love how it helps keep even the small things organized


this vintage 3M tape dispenser was not from a garage sale, but was my grandpa’s 🙂
he was a wonderful artist, he worked most of his life painting and making signs…
he was very talented
i could kick myself for forgetting to take a before picture
it was dirty & rusty in some spots … nothing a nice coat of spray paing couldn’t fix
i added some pretty paper to each side for some print
i love that i have something from his studio, now in mine ♥


speaking of the shop…
i’m getting super close to being ready to open! 
and this is what sat in my front foyer a couple days ago…


shipping & packaging supplies for Sugar ‘n Spice
seriously guys…
i did a little happy dance
with the front door open
it actually felt official 🙂
any good trash to treasure finds? please share!

much love ♥

… in Your presence is Fullness of joy…
