Shut the front AND back doors! Your creativity knows no bounds. I think when you are purchasing things at a thrift store you have the freedom to do whatever you want with them! It doesn't matter if someone didn't approve of what you did, I hate when people give thrifters a hard time over these things. If they don't approve of something you did, then they can go and purchase their own thrifted items and do what THEY think is best. Don't listen to them, you are a creative genius. Every single one of these things today was so cute and quaint! I love what you did with the lamp, making a shade of a doily! What a cool idea! The little birds in the picture frames were so cute. Honestly, it was all amazing! 💖💖💖💖💖

Agreed. Items are sitting in a thrift store-maybe they’ll sell maybe not. At least making them over they may get a few more years loved-instead of going to a landfill. Do these people realize how much brass, silver items in the thrift stores- that don’t sell?? Gees-everyone is a critic. Do what you want. You always do a lovely job.❤️

I really liked the frame with the dragonfly and the lace lampshade.

*Sherry, my "FAVORITES" today are #4 the mixed media piece with the gossamer dragonfly pin and beautiful gold filigree frame, #5 the dimunitive lamp with your ethereal lace doily lampshade (glad you kept it for yourself❣️😉) and #8 the woven basket vase you breathed life into by painting it green and embellishing it with delicate flowers and leaves❣️😉🥰💮🍃 OF COURSE, I L💜VED all the items with birds, 🐦 too‼️🥰*

Literally nobody buys those brass plates so I'm happy you are giving ideas on what to do with them.

My mind is blown🤯! You are the most creative person!

@@CanterburyCottagefinding the "cherry on top" after you finish a project happens to me more often than not. I make journals for Cancer patients and it took me a while to come up with a design that could work for both men and women. Every time I made one in the early days I was always wishing I had added to or subtracted something. I learned to just love the process! I've made over 150 journals this past year and a half and it never gets old. I'm giving back. They were there for me when I was undergoing chemo for Triple Negative Breast Cancer. I found the perfect way to do it! As long as I'm still here, I will do it. God placed it on my heart.

@CanterburyCottage We used a product specifically formulated to stiffen silk flowers so when they hardened they looked like porcelain. One dipped (soaked really lol) the flowers in the product then reshaped them while wet onto whatever surface you desired to put them on. We used to put them on straw hats, baskets, vases, wreaths, etc. It was messy but fun! You could even paint the flowers, when dried, however you wanted. They did turn out slightly white-ish, not as bright as before. I was a floral designer back in those days, and I used to get a lot of orders for lilies & daises placed on baskets. I just googled porcelain flower dip, & UV Dip Resin looks interesting! :)
