Some projects completed!

Here we are at another Met Monday hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch.
She always has great ideas and makeovers to share, so be sure to go by her site.

I wanted to have a basket of daisies on my front door like Susan, but I noticed her front door is red and mine is black, so I would need more color. I found this bargain for $3 at GW. It was my starting point.


I added some red flowers and more white ones. (I had a big bunch I had gotten - $2 - on sale 90% off at Joanne's back in the fall!)


Then I hung it on the door, and I think it perks up the door! I definitely needed the red and white.

I have been wanting to paint these GW finds and an old spool and candlestick that had been in my basement for years! Finally I had some free time and it wasn't raining! Here's the BEFORE:

Here's the AFTER. Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet, but I like them better.

I have this silk greenery and I plan to remove the sqaure wooden container and put it in the newly painted black iron urn.....that is, after I figure out how to get the tree out of the box!!! It is really stuck!

This urn looks really good - MUCH better than in this picture! It will be a nice base for the plant.

Debbie at Confessions of a Plate Addict and I frequently go GW Hunting and were lamenting that we don't often find much. On second thought, maybe we do. Everything on this chest (except the red transfer plate) came from GW or a yard sale.

These are also some GW gems for my white collection.
Last week I was thrilled to find these ballerina dresses for $1 each at a garage sale. My four little granddaughters have already been enjoying them at my house.
Be sure to stop by Susan's at Between Naps on the Porch and see what she and all the other participants have been up to! Happy Monday! Linda
