Theme of the week

Every Fri 7pm  to Sunday 11 pm Pacific.


This weekend's theme:

~ license plates ~

I LOVE me some license plates! They're so graphically cool and add instant art to the smallest of areas.


Funky Junk's crate stairs

And just when you thought one was cool enough....





... you come across a staircase like this!


Birds and Blooms


Rural Originals

And if these funky roofs didn't make you swoon....




Stress The Seams Etsy


... perhaps a house made completely out of plates is more for you.


Expressions of Time

I so want this clock.




Vintage in Retrospect


Way cool!


Funky Junk

Or, cover a crate.


Funky Junk

Or decorate a tree. Whoville junk style no less.



Love them but can't find them? Make one!

    Donna that is one cool clock and I love the stairs and the Christmas tree. I made a birdhouse and put my daddy's old license as the roof. The birds snubbed it, but the wasp loved it, just my luck. Hope you and Cody have a good weekend.

    I'm IN LOVE with license plates! We've tried to collect one from places we travel . . . but on an everyday basis, I've found they've become hard to come by . . . without paying an arm and a leg, that is. You must have some fabulous shopping spots!!

    Hi Donna! I'm finally getting a moment or two to sit down and join your linky (I added my colorful kitchen reveal #191 to home decor and my indoor awning--also in my kitchen--to sewing, #129).
    Thank you so much for hosting!

    Thanks for hosting and for your sweet comments on my scrappy piece. We won't ever see it in action, it sold about an hour after I took the picture :).

    What fascinating ways to design one's space with license plates. The staircase idea looks like it has a lot of charm.
