Out with the old...In with the new

 Well, that may be true for most people, however I'm more inclined to bring in the old...I keep thinking that some day I will tire of these old things, but so far that is not the case. My idea of a great time is to dig around in old barns and  flea markets for stuff that has been abandoned by their previous owners. Sometimes I try to figure out new ways to use them and sometimes I just like to enjoy them just as they are and try to imagine the stories they could tell,you know, if they could talk.

My pile of "TO DO" has turned into a pile of "DONE"...as you can see I have a new can of paint...Well, have I ever had fun with this color.. and it's not even close to being red...

 I had some pages from old magazines and church song books so I lined the drawers with those..should have taken a picture, I know. I'm in the process of papering the back of this desk with the same pages, just in case it has to be free standing...got to make the back look good too.
This carved Robin landed on this painted glass and is quite happy, hum, looks like Spring to me. Wishful thinking...
 My second Make Do chair...this isn't going to the shop it has a home at my sisters...hope she likes it.
 Tim made this child sized shabby chic bench...great for kids or at the foot of the bed to hold extra quilts or an old doll.  Could be used on a covered porch in the summer,too.
Well, that is all for now...So

From my porch to yours...

Have a blessed and happy new  year...the best is yet to come

Let your light shine before men....
