White Wednesday

Sometimes my "out of the box" thoughts, need to be back "in the box"
This is what I mean...

At only 6 1/4" square, my little shadow box is big enough for a sweet collage.

Vintage lace, tiny buttons...

antique doll shoes...

a gold frame and lovely words...

"These are just few of my favorite things....!"
are you singing yet?...

Thank you Kathleen for another White Wednesday!

To sell or not to sell?

We have had this lamp base for some time now...

Vintage, white metal, great detail...but even though a lot of people liked it, it never sold.

We must admit that the lack of lampshade didn't help.
Since this week is all about finishing old projects, we decided to tackle this lovely piece and hopefully get it sold in just a few, simple steps!

First step: we looked for a lampshade in the garage...we focused in the shape and the size, no the print or the color!

Second step: We got rid of the old fabric and constructed a new shade using white cotton...

Third step: We added a strip of jute and finished it with vintage white buttons...

Our Fourth and last step will be price it, display it and hope that someone will like it now as much as we do!
