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 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 :)

THE OUTDOORS

THE OUTDOORS

YOU CAN HAVE THIS LOOK BY PULLING STUFF FROM YOUR HOME THAT YOU HAVE STORED & JUST ARRANGE & PILE IT ON! HANG A CHANDY FROM A TREE OR ARBOR OR CANOPY OR OFF A HOOK. I ENJOY MAKING THESE AS THEY ALL TURN OUT DIFFERENTLY WITH WHAT I BLING THEM WITH.

PUT A TABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GARDEN & HAVE AN AFTERNOON TEA
