Buckle up, people. It's going to be a junky ride! My mom gave me a whole mess of belt buckles recently. This one is rusty and metal...my kind of fastener.
A couple old books stacked on the table for my friend to leaf through. (They helped beef up my lighting situation too).
I zipped right through this project. I wrapped my pitcher in record time using one of my old zippers
I filled a box with little goodies for her to take home. Tied it off with creamy white bias tape from my old sewing supplies.
I think it's pretty. But then again, I may be biased...
My own dear mother showered me with the mother load of all buckles. Mother-of-pearl buckles...cha-ching! I felt like a mini Queen of Quantity for a moment or two.
I also placed a vintage paper needle holder that has sophisticated gold writing by my friend's bedside. Hmmm. What can I do with that?
I decided to tuck a little note inside it for her.
Okay, so here is a portion of my leftovers and I can hardly see a dent in it. What other things can I do with this stuff. **Please note - I'm a non-sewing junker. ;)
As always, take care and keep on junking!

I love how the buckle looks. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt's very clear what to do with them! Send them to me, of course!
ReplyDeleteI love the buckle on the zippers on the pitcher. Smart. As for what to do with the rest? I was given my grandmother's old sewing basket. Similar stuff. I bought a "make your own lamp" thing at Hobby Lobby. Mine was a base with a mason jar. I filled the large mason jar with all the goodies and put on applique on a tea stained shade. It is now "Grandmom's Lamp", and it sits by the guest bed at Mom's house. Maybe something like that? ~Mindy

Your post you did above is great. Love all of the elements you've used and note that they are pieces I often design with. Love it!
I love what you did with the vase...it jazzed it up, but still look classy!
ReplyDeleteI love it!
