Thrifty Pumpkin Frame




I found these two items at the thrift store.
Frame - $1.50
Pumpkin Hanging - $1



Someone put a  lot of love into this pieced pumpkin wall hanging.






I painted and shabbied the frame up a bit.
I used crumbled packing paper for the back ground.



Then I just stuck the hanging onto the paper.



Now it's finding new love in our home.

Framed Summer

TUESDAY:  Yeah!  A Creation!


Remember my framed spring?
I really liked the spring paper and thought it was seasonal enough for summer too, so I just pulled out the paper and turned it over and used the other side.
No extra work - yeah!



Lovely!



My high ledge.








My son added the artwork for this round.

Family Framed Tile

THURSDAY:  Yeah!  Another Creation!




Gather supplies - 
mod podge
dollar store frame that I spray painted black
old left over tile
 your choose of paper


Glue the paper onto the tile and let dry.



Add your initial to the glass frame (paint or vinyl)  and hot glue it onto the tile.
Add twine.







My family signed their names on the tile with a black sharpie.
A lesson on family unity would go great with this activity.

Simple Empty Frames

THURSDAY:  Yeah!  Another Creation!


I do like decorating with frames.
Here is a simple and elegant way to display empty frames.



This is my bathroom shelf above the latrine.  
I took old frames and painted them off-white, roughed them up with sand paper and brushed them with a brown glaze.
I did the same to my freebee shelf.


Added a burlap flower and called it good.
See my tutorial on no-sew burlap flowers here.


I made hanging mason jars and filled them up with ocean goodies from a favorite trip.


Oh, they still smell salty - mmmm.

Vintage Window

MONDAY:  Yeah!  A Creation!

I found this window at a yard sale for 10 dollars - yeah!  
I like to think that it come off an old church building.
I love it!


I took it home and gave it a good cleaning and hung it on the wall.


Found cute shutters to go with it.
But it's still missing something.....





























I found this wreath for a dollar at another yard sale - score!


Just right!
My window looking at another window.

I wonder how many little faces pressed their noses against this window?
I wonder what they were looking at?
Oh, the stories and secrets this window holds.

Mini Green House

THURSDAY:  Yeah!  Another Creation!


I found this awesome terrarium on Country Living and followed their instructions here.


Found the frames at the thrift store, dollar store and my junk room.



It was a little more difficult to put together than I thought - but I did it.






Spray painted and rubbed a Ralph Lauren glaze on it for a worn look.



Glued the glass back in.



I hung a cute lantern in it.

















Happy days and nights on my porch!
