Two new items listed today at dogwoodflowerdesigns.etsy.  
The bottom alphabet gadget is a hoot to work with.  A universal titler gadget.

The top monogram F bookends are made in the U.S.A. and from the 40's and 50's in English script.

This is a before photo of a jewely curio cabinet that I am upcycling to fit my needs for my handmade jewelry items.  Will post again when finished.  Great flea market find for change.

Madison Forida Antique Market

Antique Market spotted while driving back from the airport to pick up my daughter, Sheena.
Small town of Madison, Florida, turned up three great antique shops. 
We are sure to have a return trip and more time to go through them all thoroughly.

Chalkware Wallhanging

A beautiful piece of chalkware with an Italian design.  The piece was salvaged from a warehouse sale.

Not sure what to do with it yet.  One of those finds that you love at first glance.

Garden Bulb Tags

Finally some nice weather to work on garden tags for the Spring.

I sit on the carport concrete floor with cardboard, metal stamps, hammer and a block to get good steady beats with the hammer and no jumping around on this solid surface.   A little rough on the back but I don't waste too many disks this way.

Just uploaded this set onto my southertouches.etsy.com shop for the spring.
Nice set of six different bulb name tags.

Repurposing for Christmas

 

Using a vintage light globe, a large tin candle stand and a painted black lamp topper attached to globe.   A repurposed gift for my daughter at Christmas.  Wonderful large cloche for use or display.

Thanksgiving Decor

Had to do a little work on these found wood leaf trays with sanding and cleaning for use with my Fall decorations.  Nice find with 10 weathered leaves which only need a little TLC to come to life again.

These happen to be for sale on www.etsy.southertouches.com.  Great weathered decor/display.
