COLLECTIONS

SUITCASES ARE A GREAT WAY TO HIDE THINGS SO YOU CAN ROTATE THEM LATER WHEN YOU WANT TO "FLUFF" UP YOU DECORATING. THEY CAN ALSO DOUBLE AS A LAMP STAND, IN A BATHROOM TO HIDE EXTRA TOWELS, STACKED TO THE CEILING TO SHOWCASE YOUR COLLECTION. I RECENTLY FOUND AN AMELIA EARHART ONE......PRECIOUS






I WON'T TELL YOU WHAT'S IN THESE, IT BEGINS WITH CHOCOLATE LOL



AMETHYST, AMBER BOTTLES LOOK SO COOL IN A WINDOW & WHEN THE LIGHT STREAMS THROUGH THEM, IT'S SO SUNSHINY! I LOVE TO MAKE FRENCH BOTTLES WITH LABELS & KEYS.




I LOVE MY YELLOWWARE COLLECTIO & AM ALWAYS ROTATING IT.....OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH BETTER. I'VE BEEN SORTING LATELY......SALE COMING UP!! THIS ONE WILL BE A DOOZY, IF I DON'T SELL IT BEFORE.
..




I HAVE A LACE COLLECTION THAT I SORT FREQUENTLY & ALSO USE FOR PROJECTS. SOMETIMES I HATE TO CUT THEM, BUT I DO :)






I HAVE A COLLECTION OF VINTAGE METAL PICNIC BASKET & FIND IT VERY HARD TO SORT BECAUSE THEY MAKE SUCH GOOD STORAGE. AT TIMES THEY'RE EASY TO FIND & THEN THERE'S A DRY SPELL & I'M ON THE HUNT AGAIN





WHITEWARE/DINNERWAR/RESTARAUNT WARE......I HAVE A COLLECTION OF BUFFALO WARE.




MORE GREAT BOTTLES







THESE ARE SO SWEET, I USUALLY GET THE WOOD ONES & PAINT THEM.






.......BOTTLES AGAIN!! DIFFERENT COLORS SPEAK TO ME


I HAVE A COLLECTION OF DRESS FORMS & A MANNEQUIN THAT LOOKS LIKE ME.......SCARY!!!!



I LOVE METAL FRAMES & TRAYS





WIRE WARE









LINENS FOR PROJECTS

VINTAGE COVERLETS, I CUT THEM TO MAKE PILLOWS, SACHETS ETC. LAMPSHADES, I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN BURLAPPING THEM. FUN TO MAKE WITH THE DIFFERENT SHAPES OF THE SHADES.





CROCKS .... GREAT DISPLAY PIECES & CAN BE USED FOR PLANT CONTAINERS.






FLOWER FROGS CAN BE USED FOR LETTER HOLDERS/ PEN HOLDERS, STACKED IN GRADUATED SIZES FOR A TREE EFFECT.







I LOVE MY COLLECTION OF BRUSHES, THEY CAN BE HUGH ACROSS THE KITCHEN WINDOW AS A VALANCE





I'M SORTING MY CUPBOARDS ALSO. BELIEVE ME THEY DO HOLD ALOT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO WITH THE STUFF INSIDE.....SALE RIGHT!! they hold a myriad of junque & come in all sizes shapes & colors. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD A VINTAGE ONE, PAINT IT TO LOOK OLD






I HAVE SOME GRANITE WARE . I'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT BLUE, I LIKE BROWN, GREEN & BROWN......THE HARD COLORS TO FIND






I HAVE SOME TRANSFERWARE , BROWN MOSTLY, SOME BLUE. YOU CAN HANG THESE ON A WALL BUT I NEVER DID, BECAUSE MY LUCK WITH GLASS WARE IS .......I BREAK IT :(








LET THE LIGHT SHINE THROUGH YOUR GLASS WARE :)
