Monday Madness...
- Thrifting - Altering Old Book - Creating - Book Order - Crafting -
****
Over the weekend I was busy...
thrift shopping, yard sale searching, creating artful crafts,
purchased a few magazines/with a coupon,
and
received a book order form amazon.
Productive weekend indeed!
****
Let's get started...
Found these books at a yard sale
for free!
They just wanted to get rid of them, imagine that!
****
Rummaging through the thrift store,
which is always super fun!
I came across these straw wreaths .25 each
These definitely can home with me.
Also...
found some muslin, cotton linen, and
this beautiful black/white printed fabric.
I've got some great crafting ideas for all these treasures
stay tuned...
****
First...
I recreated this project
Vintage Book Expanding File
materials:
old readers digest book
pocket size expanding file

Next...
I created this wreath.
Added this adorable wire heart that I created.
Thought it added a touch of sweetness!
****
Last...
Books & Magazines...
how I simply adore them all !
I could swallow them up by the mouth full.
(HA,HAA,HAAA!)
Happy Monday!

ReplyDeleteYou had a delightful and busy weekend! So fun to see your finds and what you've done with them. I tend to do the "finding" but not so much the "doing with them"! You are a good influence on me!
ReplyDeleteWow, you have been very creative with all your new 'treasure'! Love what you did with the book. I too love old books :-)
