re-cycle

I think it was the belt I bought for a quarter that I'm trying to show off here...
or maybe the Worthington (brand) skirt that was $1.25
at my Favorite Thrift Store.
While I'm at it, I'm excited about an old wash stand
we purchased at a garage sale this week.  
Gnawed by rodents while it sat in a barn,
it is now undergoing an extensive renovation at the hands of my husband.
Just look at those great "pulls"!
 I couldn't pass up this mirror, either.
 I sold it quickly to a friend who is putting it in her shop.
I suspect it is up for sale again.
The RE-cycle continues!

  1. You sure have a great eye for things and turning them into a new look and/or into cash. Way to go. I look forward to seeing that wash stand after your husband gets finished with it.

    Have a lovely day and a great week ~ FlowerLady

    1. Well, Linda, for $2......
      Didn't figure we could go wrong. The "pulls" are worth more than what we paid for the piece. And already, it's turning out rather nicely...

  4. Has your husband tried chalk paint and wax.)
    Just wondered. I have a friend who uses it on everything....from wood to hardware to fabrics.
    I questioned her: "Fabric! Do you PAINT fabric?"
    She assured me that she does and that it comes out wonderfully.
    Just wondered if Hubby ever used it.
    Lovely finds...as always.

    1. Jackie, we haven't used the commercial chalk paint (it's very expensive), but we've made our own and use it (there are several formulas on the internet). Never used it on fabric, though....
