Trash To Treasure

Couple of Pictures

15 years ago

I really am not tooting my horn, as I have posted these in the Garden Junk forum as well.

I just know the inspiration I received from pictures and want to pass that along.

Now this is a work in progress. Looking for a large ruby or cobalt glass plate for the top.

These were all Goodwill Clearance finds.

Love the clear center 1, all that old glass, juice container & bottom of candy dish & with that vase gives it a real "art nouveau" look! I love old stuff!! The other 2 are nice too. Hope you find just the right piece for the lamp 1. I love TS I got 2 cobalt bottles, heavy with square bottoms & triangluar sides, not getting broken up at least not now. 99cents each! I'm putting a cork in each & going in garden just like that. Hope to get a pic after DD shows me how to do it.

Same here, but some are looking pretty good still. Southern Comfort and Caramel are pretty much green. My saddest one is Midas Touch. I'll probably have to move that one to more shade, if this drought ever breaks. I've been trying to keep them watered, but where MT is the soil gets warm and dry quickly being next to the patio.

I cannot believe how Grant has grown. Look at those long legs! I remember pictures of him when he was younger with his tools "fixing" things. So cute. Camryn looks tall, too. She also looks like she's full of fun and mischief :-) I never missed that new baby stage. I loved watching how my daughter changed. Sometimes it seemed like it was just overnight.

its a TITLE line.. not a sentence line.. ANOTHER reseeding nightmare... mulberry ... destroy it immediately ... and another bird deal ... the only upside is.. purple stains on your siding... sidewalks.. cars ... feet.. shoes.. and if your real lucky.. they will stick to your shoes.. and stain your carpeting ... and to be clear... they dont fly around.. its all contained in a bird poop missile ... lol ... ken

These are wonderful. I think I posted a comment on GJ site too. I am fascinated at all the different ways people construct the totems.
