A pendant painted out in chalkboard paint... how fun to personalize your own necklace every day. :) 

By  Henry Happened

(MUCH more inspiration and link party to follow)





These are double vases with wine corks around a lit candle. Imagine the possibilities with this brilliant idea!

By Two Twenty One


Dollar store candles, gauze stamped with a french script tied with twine makes a beautiful and easy gift idea.

By Heaven's Walk


Why not pick up your very favorite soap and wrap them up with these free printables?

By Funkytime


Can you guess what these use to be?

They're jean seams cut off, embellished and made into bracelets. Scrapailicious... I want to try this one!

    Just wanted to thank you, hubby and I checked out Napiers Antiques yesterday, and what an adventure!! It is awesome, and has gone on our list of places to visit frequently. Even in the pouring rain it was a real treat. Thanks so much for the heads up!!

    Hi Donna! Thanks for hosting! I'm a little late to the party -- actually, a year late: my rolled vintage book page star took about a day to make, but it's taken me a year to finish the blog post about it :)
