The first item is this...
Display Rack! This is another item that my husband said, "What the... They really sell everything". I have been wanting one of these for my work space for a while. All I can say is "Ask and you shall receive." Oh, just incase you are wondering how much I paid for this, it was $5.
I pulled out some of my fat quaters and played "display".
The next item... I found two separate items and transformed them to one.
I found this gold metal candle holder($1.99), and this beautiful glass($.99). With a little imagination and spray paint, two unwanted items became this...
I love it. Now I have a beautiful candle holder, I might start planning to do a "Romantic Valentine's Dinner for Two". We don't have to go out, I could put the kiddies to bed at 6:00. Hehehehe... Although, for some reason when I try to be romantic and seductive I always end up doing something silly. It becomes a love COMEDY! So, maybe not.
The display rack used for your fat quarters is such a fantastic idea. When I saw the just the rack..I thought..what the heck can you do with that? And then...came the next pic with the fabric...brilliant!
ReplyDeleteOo! wonderful use of spray paint on that one! very pretty :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great eye to use the stand for your fabric. I would have walked right by it. :o) And how lovely is your "new" candle holder. :o)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.

The display rack is AWESOME. Every girl needs something like that for fabric. I am definitely keeping my eye out for one of those. Great finds!
ReplyDeleteLove the display rack, and I have that same little gold candle holder, I have plans to turn mine into a pin cushion =0)
ReplyDeleteI love your site, I discovered surfing the web today.
ReplyDeleteYour findings are beautiful, I live in Argentina, in a city called Mar del Plata unfortunately there are not many places to buy used items, antique, there is only a flea market very small and then shops here called "Buying and selling" where the People often take an object used to sell or swap for something you need.
I enlarged the comment, sorry. Definitely I will go vistart followed.
A hug and congratulations on your creations and Thanks for the tutorials.
Kisses.
