Some times, you just figure out how to "make do"!
When the glass on the top of this wrought-iron stand got shattered,
I decided to bolt a silver-plate tray to its top.
It will rust, I suppose.
But meanwhile, it serves a purpose.
As they say,
"Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without."
How have YOU been making do lately?

I very much admire you for not just throwing it out. If it rusts, something else can substitute. Your quote "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without" has always been a favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteThis is just super dandy!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been making do by using an old sheet for curtains, once they're recut and sewn, you would never guess they served as sheets for many years! Your tray on the legs looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteNice job, Rebecca. You are very resourceful. That quote you used sounds very New Englandy. Take care and hope your weekend is fabulous. Suasn

DeleteLooks very pretty and perhaps you can give it a little polish to keep it from rusting. And, if it does rust you know that would be so shabby chic! My dear mother used that phrase a lot. Me? Not so much. :o)
ReplyDeleteOh, it's already well on its way to shabby chic, Sandy! And someone has already bought it. THEY can decide whether or not to give it a little polish :)
