New Goodies

Hello everyone! 

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.  I certainly enjoyed catching up on my sleep this weekend.  It was nice to not have an agenda of any kind.

  I wanted to show you a couple of new items that just arrived.  I ordered them from my favorite online stores, Wuslu and Antique Farmhouse.  They should thank me for all the free advertising I'm giving them!  Ha!

If you're a follower of Miss Mustard Seed's blog, then you know how she has joined efforts with Wuslu in picking out a favorite item to promote each month. This was one of those items.

It's this really unique looking candle holder !  I actually spotted it before I saw it featured on her blog and knew I just had to have it. 

You can see that I placed it on my mantel.  Hope you're not tired of seeing pictures of it.

 I love the vintage look of it.  It is made of iron and glass. 

And, remember the pillow that I ordered from Antique Farmhouse?  Well, it arrived the same day too. 

I'm very pleased with it.  It now sits in the little side chair in the family room. 

Today, Wuslu had a fantastic deal on a light fixture that I had been thinking about for my kitchen.  It was so affordable that I just had to grab it!  It may still be available, if you're interested too.

Isn't it great?  It is a barn style pendant light coated in black chalkboard paint!  I don't know if I'll actually write on it, but I could if I wanted to.  Ha! I'll probably put my old chandelier in my master bathroom.  I'll remove the shades and spray paint it to match my other light fixtures in there.

Well, that's my "show and tell" for today!  Now, it's time to get ready for another week.  I've got to take my 18 yr old to the dentist tomorrow morning for some fillings.  Not a good way to start off the week. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Copy Cat Challenge

My project is actually one that I already had done before I saw it in a magazine.  So, it's sort of like they were copying me.  Ha!  (Not really.  I just like to think so.)  It's something you could use all year long though.  I saw it in this magazine.

It is ridiculously easy!  I'm almost ashamed to even call this a challenge.  Ha!

Here is their version.

And here is my version.

As you can see, this is simply hot gluing jute webbing around a glass candle holder.  Easy right?  Then on my version, I just tied some twine around it and added some old skeleton keys to it for interest. 

Anyone can do this!  I had everything except the keys.  I found them at an antique store.  I thought about sticking some greenery in the twine, but then decided not to since it was an actual burning candle.  I didn't think that would be very safe.

Hope you enjoyed it!
